Characterization and antimicrobial activity studies of polypropylene films with carvacrol and thymol for active packaging

TL;DR: In this article, a complete thermal, structural, mechanical and functional characterization of all formulations was carried out, and the obtained results proved the permanence of certain amounts of the studied additives in the polymer matrix after processing making them able to be used as active additives in PP formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of polymer oxidation and its relationship with materials performance and lifetime prediction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a brief status report on the important aspects of polymer oxidation and focus on the complexity of thermally accelerated polymer aging phenomena, the importance of DLO, property correlations, kinetic models, TGA approaches, and a framework for predictive aging models are briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization effect of lignin in polypropylene and recycled polypropylene

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of lignin on the oxidative stability of polypropylene (PP) and recycled polypropylon (recPP) plaques has been examined by differential scanning calorimetry under non-isothermal conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymer ageing: physics, chemistry or engineering? Time to reflect

TL;DR: White et al. as discussed by the authors focused on examples involving a combination of two or more of these effects, and with the consequential changes in engineering properties, such as changes in the morphology and macroscopic physical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pollution characteristics and health risk assessment of volatile organic compounds emitted from different plastic solid waste recycling workshops.

TL;DR: It was found that most VOCs in the indoor microenvironments were originated from the melting extrusion process, while the highest TVOC concentration was observed in the PS rather than in the ABS recycling workshop, posing an adverse chronic health threat.
