Polymeric waste materials should be considered resources for the manufacture of new
products through recycling processes, with a similar status to virgin fossil‐based plastics and …

Nanocomposite films based on low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) containing carvacrol were
prepared and characterized with the aim to get antimicrobial active packaging. Organo …

A study on the efficiency of bio-based compounds as stabilizers for polypropylene (PP) is
reported. A water extract from French maritime pine bark (Pycnogenol®), a by-product …

The synthesis, structural characterization and properties of a new bioinspired phenolic
polymer (polyCAME) produced by oxidative polymerization of caffeic acid methyl ester …

In the human body, the black‐brown biopigment eumelanin blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV)
radiation. In the plastics industry, additives are often added to polymers to increase their UV …

In this work a new method was developed for monitoring the oxidative stability of restabilized
and non-restabilized low-density polyethylene (LDPE) during multiple extrusion cycles. The …

Cette étude bibliographique dresse un bilan des connaissances sur la durabilité des
matériaux géosynthétiques à base de polymères. Les causes et les mécanismes qui …

The two-step extrusion method was used to manufacture pipe-grade high density
polyethylene (HDPE) material from recycled HDPE. With the two-step extrusion method …

This Chapter essentially provides with the basic understanding required to appreciate the
later on presented matter in subsequent Chapters. After explaining the initial justification for …

The effect of silica and siloxane on thermo-oxidative degradation of a series of hydrogen-
bonded acidic fluorinated poly (amide-imide-silica) hybrids was investigated by TGA, IR and …
