Sorting plastic is hard; scientists found compatibilizers may enable direct recycling of mixed plastics into 3D-printed products.

In recent decades, starch has been studied as a raw material due to low production costs. The limitations associated with starch being highly permeable to water vapor and its mechanical properties ...

This study investigated the effects of low concentrations of sericin (≤ 1.5 wt%) in starch- poly(butylene-adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) films. The films were ...

Polyethylene and polypropylene account for two-thirds of the world's plastics. But the polymers' popularity has an equally large downside. Because they have similar densities and physical properties, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a series of montmorillonite/Cross-linked polyethylene nanocomposites containing different compatililizer (vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or ...

We have evaluated the effectiveness of compatibilizers in blends and composites produced using a solvent manufacturing process. The compatibilizers were two different types of polyethylene (linear low ...

A compatibilizer comprised of a blend of functional additives from global masterbatch supplier Ampacet has received How2Recycle Prequalification status for Store Drop-Off in eligible multilayer PE ...
