The use of grafted poly(propylene) (PP) and a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene (EPR) with an itaconic acid derivative, monomethyl itaconate (MMI), as compatibilizer for PP/EPR blends was analyzed. The grafting ...

Different carbon-based fillers such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphite, and thermally reduced graphene oxide (TrGO) are melt mixed with an isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) and the mechanical properties of the resulting ...

Poly[propylene-co-(1-hexene)], one example of a "tailor-made poly(propylene)", was synthesized using an iso-specific metallocene catalyst in order to study the influence of copolymer composition on the pore size of isotactic ...

Poly(propylene) (PP) composites were prepared by using eggshell (ES) as filler and their mechanical properties were compared with those using talc (TA) and calcium carbonate (CC) of different grain sizes (X50). A decrease ...

The use of grafted poly(propylene) (PP) and a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene (EPR) with an itaconic acid derivative, monomethyl itaconate (MMI), as compatibilizer for PP/EPR blends was analyzed. The grafting ...

A set of copolymers of isotactic propylene and 1-octadecene (CiPOD) and the corresponding isotactic poly(propylene) homopolymer (iPP) have been synthesized using a metallocene catalyst. The influence of the incorporation ...

This study aimed to investigate the biodegradation of polypropylene/ poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PP/PHBV) blend (70/30, w/w) films in soil, monitoring the evolution of CO2 using the respirometric method. The ...
