Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTiO2 Nanoparticles-Coated Polypropylene Copolymer as Photocatalyst on Methylene Blue Photodegradation under Solar ExposureHasniah Aliah, Mahardika Prasetya Aji, Masturi et al.Problem statement: Pollutions of water bodies by dye wastes from textile industries and other sources have become critical consideration. A photocatalytic technique using semiconductor materials such as Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) activated by lights has been considered as one economical method to solve this problem. Approach: We attached titanium dioxide on the surface of polymer grains as photocatalyc agents using a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 29 May 2012 · 7,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Properties of Waste Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Metallized Films (BOPP), LLDPE: LDPE Films with Sisal FibresKiran Rohit, Savita DixitThe current work describe the enhancement and improvisation of polymer composite repose of sisal fiber reinforcement, Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) and thermoplastic LLDPE: LDPE particulate fillers. The composite were prepared with fiber content 5, 10, 15 and 20% (by weight). The composite are characterized with respect to their mechanical properties (Tensile, flexural and impact strength) were studied. Tensile strength showed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2016 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImproving the Polypropylene-Clay Composite Using Carbon Nanotubes as Secondary FillerSalawudeen T. Olalekan, Suleyman A. Muyibi, Qasim H. Shah et al.Problem statement: Current researches have shown that the thermoplastic-clay nanocomposites have failed to live up to the earlier predictions albeit they have found some niche area of applications. This research work therefore aimed at studying the effect of carbon nanotube as secondary filler on the mechanical properties of polypropylene-clay nanocomposite. Approach: Hybrid polypropylene-clay nanocomposite was prepared in the presence of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThermal Energy Storage in the Ground of a Greenhouse by the Polypropylene Capillary Heat ExchangerM. Lazâar, S. Koôli, M. Hazami et al.The problem of temperature inversion is one of solar origin principal problems about which the cultures under shelters complain. Indeed, for the winter period, the temperature under greenhouse is very low at night and it is rather high during the day in summer. Consequently, the heating of the greenhouses is essential. In this work, we studied the advisability of using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFabrication and Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber/Talc/CaCO3 Filled Recycled PP CompositesUğur Soy, Fehim Findik, Salih Hakan Yetgin et al.Until now, recycling studies brought to the agenda after the rapid increasing of plastic materials in every area and causing those plastics to environmental pollution after discarding them following the utilization. The purpose of recycling plastic waste is to minimize environmental pollution and to create of new resources. To perform the present study, Recycled Polypropylene Granules (RPP) belonging to Polypropylene … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2017 · 9,364 accessesView PDFCite
