The demand to develop and produce eco-friendly alternatives for food packaging is
increasing. The huge negative impact that the disposal of so-called “single-use plastics” has …

In recent decades synthetic polymers have gained increasing popularity, and nowadays
they are an integral part of people's daily lives. In addition, owing to their competitive …

Abstract Conductive crystalline polypyrrole (Cryst-PPy), Nickel-polypyrrole (Ni-PPy), and
copper-polypyrole (Cu-PPy) hybrid materials were prepared using a chemical …

The high demand for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) driven by an increase in
environmental awareness, the application of more restrictive environmental legislations …

The biodegradability and mechanical properties of polysaccharides are dependent on their
architecture (linear or branched) as well as their crystallinity (size of crystals and crystallinity …

The discovery that polyethylene oxide promotes ionic conductivity led to the development of
solid polymer electrolytes. However, their conductivity is severely reduced by crystallinity …

Crystallization of poly (aryl ether ketone)(PAEK) plays an important role in the impact
resistance of composite laminates but it is still unclear how the cooling rate affects the …

Polylactic acid (PLA), a potential alternative material for single use plastics, generally
portrays a slow crystallization rate during melt-processing. The use of a nanomaterial such …

This paper provides evidence and discusses the variability in the thermomechanical
behaviour of virgin and recycled polypropylene/high-density polyethylene blends without the …

Polypropylene (PP) has a high recycling potential. However, the properties of mechanically
recycled PP (R-PP) have not been fully compared to those of virgin PP (V-PP). Therefore, in …
