Commercialized bedpan made from hard plastic gives discomfort to the patients. The study was perform to improved. The present study determines the mechanical, physical and thermal properties of TPU/PVC blend in order to ... -
Interlayer destabilization process of natural and commercial bentonite incorporated Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) nanocomposite with hybrid silicate nanofillers
Natural and commercial bentonites can act as efficient fillers to reinforce a polymer matrix if their strong interlayer binding forces are weakened to reduce tactoid formation. In this research, interlayers destabilization ... -
Mechanical and thermal properties of chitosan filled recycled polyethylene biocomposites
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Materials Engineering, 2010)The research was focused to investigate the utilization of chitosan biopolymer on properties of recycled polyethylene (RPE). The effect of chitosan loading of RPE biocomposites on mechanical properties, thermal properties, ... -
Preparation and characterization of linear low denstity polyethylene LLDPE/Thermoplastic Starch (TPS)/Banana fiber composites
The blending of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with thermoplastic starch (TPS) and filled with banana fiber (BF) were investigated. Two types of systems were prepared; the LLDPE/TPS matrix with different blend ...
