The state-of-the-art in the field of polymeric materials that can degrade under environmental
conditions into environmentally harmless compounds is reviewed. It is shown that the most …

Blends based on LDPE and chitin or chitosan were prepared under high‐temperature shear
deformations in a rotor disperser at different initial ratios of the components. Although one of …

This article describes polymeric additives that accelerate the thermal oxidation of polyolefins
at moderate temperatures (oxo-degradation additives) which increase the ability of …

The thermal properties of biodegradable blends based on polyethylene and natural
polysaccharides prepared in an extruder were studied by thermogravimetric analysis. It was …

Mixtures of cellulose and chitosan have been obtained under shear deformation conditions
using different types of equipment. The presence of an intense interaction between chitosan …

Ternary rubber crumb–starch–sevilen and double sevilen–starch composites are obtained. It
is shown that, when the starch content in the mixture is increased, the elastic modulus grows …
