Polyolefins are subject to chemical changes when they are brought in contact with the
environment. In the presence of UV-radiation and oxygen, photo-oxidation causes chain …

Slow crack growth (SCG) is a time-dependent quasi-brittle type of failure that polyethylene
(PE) materials exhibit under low stress levels. The interplay between the crack and its plastic …

Plastic debris as the main portion of urban litters could be transported via storm runoff to the
water resources. In this study the influence of microplastics (MPs) weathering on their Pb 2+ …

In this article, the effectiveness of the co-mixing processing technique and surface
modification of zinc oxide (ZnO) filler on the characteristics of the developed high-density …

Microplastic contamination was found in fish and chicken bought on the market, in food
stores and in chain supermarkets in the Middle East with the contamination ranging from …

Plastic cutting boards were found to be the source of polythene microplastic contamination
in cut meat commercially available at butchers and a supermarket chain in the Middle East …

Undoubtedly the applications of polymers are rapidly evolving. Technology is continually
changing and quickly advancing as polymers are needed to solve a variety of day-to-day …

The impact of climatic ageing on the characteristics of both unexposed and exposed faces of
unstabilized and stabilized LDPE films was investigated. The effects on chemical and …

The oxidation and thermal stability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films (stabilized and
unstabilized) used as greenhouse covering have been investigated. A mixture of kaolin, UV …

Horticultural protected cultivation has spread throughout the world as it has proven to be
