The study of the styrene–Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) graft radical polymerization is particularly challenging due to the complexity of the underlying kinetic mechanisms and nature of GTR. In this work, an experimental study on two scales (∼10...

This work is a collaborative effort between academia and industry to promote the development of new sustainable and profitable materials for manufacturing products. Incorporating wood flour particles (WF) in polypropylene (PP) grants environmental ad...

In this work, nylon 6 (PA6) and cationic dyeable polyester (CDP) modified with benzenesulfonate groups were reactively blended in a twin-screw extruder. The well-mixed CDP/PA6 blends were re-molten and statically kept for various amounts of time. The...

A simple, efficient procedure has been employed to effect intra- and inter-chain crosslinking of two commercially available thiolated poly(dimethylsiloxane) copolymers (T-PDMS) with 4–6% or 13–17% of mercaptopropyl side-chains. The thiol...

High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]

In 1920, Hermann Staudinger discovered that macromolecules consist of long chains of covalently linked building blocks and subsequently published the first paper on polymerization [...]

Active packaging has played a significant role in consumers’ health and green environment over the years. Synthetic polymers, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene, poly(vinyl chloride) (...
