Controlled/living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of 2-bromoethanol as a transfer agent and comparison with cumyl dithiobenzoate as a RAFT agent
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2009)Living polymerization is a process without transfer and termination chain reaction process. It has been developed almost 50 years ago. There are many types of living radical polymerization and the most versatile method is ... -
Corn cob filled chitosan biocomposite films
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Recently, there has been renews interest in chitosan as materials in producing of biocomposite films. The chitosan (CS)/corn cob (CC) biocomposite films were prepared by solvent casting method. The effect of CC content on ... -
Cure characteristics and hardness of recycled latex catheter (LCr) filled with Standard Malaysia Rubber (SMR L) compounds
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)The effect of cure characteristics and hardness of LCr filled SMR L compound were investigated. The size of LCr were 20 - 25 mm in range. Six compounds; 0, 5, 15, 2 5, 35 and 5 0 per hundred rubber (phr) of LCr were prepared ... -
Degradability in a natural compost medium of (linear low-density polyethylene)/(soya powder) blends compatibilized with epoxidized natural rubber
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc./Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), 2014-03)The objective of this study was to investigate the degradability of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/(soya powder) blends. The blends were compatibilized by epoxidized natural rubber with 50 mol% of epoxidation. ... -
Degradation of epoxidized natural rubber compatibilized linear low density polyethylene/soya powder blends: The effect of natural weathering
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-10)In the present study, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/soya powder blends were compatibilized with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR 50) and exposed to natural weathering. The exposure period for the blends was 1 year. ... -
Design aspects of bioreactors for solid-state fermentation: A review
(Croatian Association of Chemical Engineers, 2011)Solid-state fermentation has gained renewed attention, not only from researchers but also from industries, due to several advantages over submerged fermentations. This is partly because solid-state fermentation has lower ... -
