EcoBlends’up: PLA/BioPA blends composites, microfibrillated “in situ” through additive manufacturing
(2022-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn certain polymer blends, a properly oriented microfibrillar morphology of the dispersed phase during the processing stage can generate a reinforcing effect by increasing the fracture toughness, especially in the crack ... -
Influence of the melt extrusion process on the mechanical behavior and the thermal properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer by applying the successive self-nucleation and annealing thermal fractionation
(2021-04-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEthylene vinyl alcohol copolymer was processed three times in a twin-screw extrusion pilot plant in order to reproduce the processing steps required to obtain EVOH nanocomposites. Thin film of the extruded EVOH was prepared ... -
Poly (Lactic Acid)/Ground Tire Rubber blends using peroxide vulcanization
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-05-06)
Article
Open AccessPoly (Lactic Acid) (PLA)/Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) blends using Dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a crosslinking agent were prepared with the following aims: propose a new route to recycle wastes rubber from the automotive industry ... -
Hydrostatic pressure dependence in tensile and compressive behavior of an acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene copolymer
(Wiley, 2022-02-26)
Article
Open AccessThe strain-rate dependence of a commercial grade ABS copolymer has been analyzed in both compression and tension. By measuring in two loading geometries, the hydrostatic pressure-dependence on the material's deformation ... -
Orientation of polylactic acid–chitin nanocomposite films via combined calendering and uniaxial drawing: Effect on structure, mechanical, and thermal properties
(2021-12-06)
Article
Open AccessThe orientation of polymer composites is one way to increase the mechanical properties of the material in a desired direction. In this study, the aim was to orient chitin nanocrystal (ChNC)-reinforced poly(lactic acid) ... -
Kinetics of the thermal degradation of poly(Lactic acid) and polyamide bioblends
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-11-19)
Article
Open AccessPoly(lactic acid) (PLA) and biosourced polyamide (PA) bioblends, with a variable PA weight content of 10–50%, were prepared by melt blending in order to overcome the high brittleness of PLA. During processing, the properties ... -
Elastocaloric effect in vulcanized natural rubber and natural/wastes rubber blends
(Elsevier, 2021-11-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyVulcanized natural/wastes rubber blends were prepared and their elastocaloric properties were analysed. A thermodynamic frame was used to discriminate the contributions of thermoelastic effects and strain induced ... -
Structure and properties of reactively extruded opaque post-consumer recycled PET
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-10-01)
Article
Open AccessThe recyclability of opaque PET, which contains TiO2 nanoparticles, has not been as well-studied as that of transparent PET. The objective of this work is to recycle post-consumer opaque PET through reactive extrusion with ... -
Extruded-calendered sheets of fully recycled pp/opaque pet blends: Mechanical and fracture behaviour
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-07-02)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents the experimental results of the mechanical and fracture behaviour of three polymeric blends prepared from two recycled plastics, namely polypropylene and opaque poly (ethylene terephthalate), where the ... -
Strain induced crystallization in vulcanized natural rubber containing ground tire rubber particles with reinforcement and nucleation abilities
(Elsevier, 2021-09-01)
Article
Open AccessStrain induced crystallization (SIC) of peroxide vulcanized natural rubber (NR)/ground tire rubber (GTR) composites is studied by combining mechanical and microstructural characterization techniques. It is found that the ... -
Notch effect on the linear elastic fracture mechanics values of a polysulfone thermoplastic polymer
(2021-08-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUsers of the most popular procedures for determining the linear elastic fracture mechanics parameters on polymers have noted that the repeatability and reproducibility of the results depend strongly on the quality of the ... -
Evaluation of household waste materials for façade components in primary educational workshops: degradation behavior and mechanical properties of aged samples
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - author's decisionThis article presents a pioneering experimental campaign on waste materials that rigorously tests numerous specimens to study their degradation behavior and the unreported mechanical properties of aged samples. The novel ...
