Abstract
  In this study, polypropylene (PP) was blended with polylactic acid (PLA) to enhance PP's mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and modulus, and to encourage the adoption of eco-friendly, renewable resource based material in polymer production. Even though PLA's biodegradability cannot be fully ...  Read More

https://doi.org/10.22063/poj.2019.2295.1123

Abstract
  In this work, the effect of hexyl branch content on thermal behavior of a fractionated ethylene/1-octene copolymer with emphasis on high temperatures was investigated. The ethylene/1-octene copolymer was carefully fractionated to different fractions with homogenous hexyl branch (HB) content by preparative ...  Read More

Volume 1, Issue 2 , December 2014, , Pages 117-129

https://doi.org/10.22063/poj.2014.1099

Abstract
  In this work, the role of comonomer content of 1-hexene-medium density polyethylene (MDPE) copolymer, synthesized using Phillips catalyst, on thermal behavior parameters such as: crystallization, melting temperature and thermal degradation was investigated in detail. The copolymer was fractionated to ...  Read More
