Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of polymer blends: A brief review
F. P. La Mantia,Marco Morreale,Luigi Botta,Maria Chiara Mistretta,Manuela Ceraulo,Roberto Scaffaro +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the status of the research on degradation of polymer blends focusing on thermal, thermomechanical and photo-oxidative degradation, and present a review of the existing literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reprocessing of PLA/Graphene Nanoplatelets Nanocomposites
TL;DR: The results indicated that the presence of GnP decreased the degradation rate as a function of the reprocessing cycles in comparison with the neat PLA that, on the contrary, showed a more drastic reduction of the molecular weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compatibilized polyamide 6/polyethylene blend–clay nanocomposites: Effect of the degradation and stabilization of the clay modifier
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of polyamide 6 (PA6) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was compatibilized using an already investigated method and a sample of Cloisite 15A, a montmorillonite modified with ammonium quaternary salts was added.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creep Behavior of Poly(lactic acid) Based Biocomposites
TL;DR: The results showed that the creep behavior of the composites is strongly influenced by the temperature and the woven fabrics used, and the morphological analysis of the fracture surface of the tensile samples showed the better fiber-matrix adhesion between PLA and jute fabric.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical, Thermomechanical and Reprocessing Behavior of Green Composites from Biodegradable Polymer and Wood Flour
TL;DR: Tensile, Dynamic-mechanical thermal (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and creep tests were performed, pointing out that wood flour leads to an improvement of rigidity and creep resistance in comparison to the pristine polymer, without compromising other properties such as the tensile strength.
