Plastic waste management and recycling became a serious global issue as it affects living
beings from all the ecosystems. Researchers investigated biodegradation of polyethylene …

The polymeric properties are tailored and enhanced by high energy radiation processing,
which is an effective technique to tune the physical, chemical, thermal, surface, and …

Recalcitrant nature of plastic is a matter of huge concern, its increasing demand made it
more complicated to handle the issue of plastic waste, and hence new challenges came in …

Biodegradation is considered to take place throughout three stages: biodeterioration,
biofragmentation and assimilation, without neglect the participation of abiotic factors …

Low density Polyethylene (LDPE) in various forms has become a part of life. Its accretion
due to non degradable nature is concern, endangering life on earth. Amongst various …

In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the interest in biodegradable polymer
materials for the use in packaging, agriculture, medicine, and other areas. Biodegradable …

This study investigates the effect of radiation over polypropylene and polyethylene blends
samples with different weight ratios. 10, 30, 50, 70, and 100 kGy doses of radiation were …

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been widely used commercially for decades;
however, as a non-degradable material, its continuous accumulation has contributed to …

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer was grafted onto Low density Polyethylene by the
direct method of radiation grafting. The effect of cohesive energy density of different organic …

Plastics based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blends generally have limited miscibility,
and it is difficult to obtain a homogeneous blend. Although they show excellent properties …
