Through this paper limit load analysis and the EPRI/GE procedure were applied to predict instability conditions for medium density polyethylene flawed pipes. Predicted values for internally pressurized cylinders with axial ...

This paper presents the optimal control policy of an industrial low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plant. Based on a dynamic model of the whole plant, optimal feed profiles are determined to minimize the transient states ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the tribological behavior of polyethylene crosslinked by gamma radiation sliding against a steel surface. Two high-density polyethylenes were irradiated to a total dose in the range ...

An antifungal low-cost film for cheese packaging was developed using a tailor-made coating process by direct natamycin (Nat) spraying onto heat softened polyethylene film surface. Two spraying systems Nat/ethanol solution ...

Polyethylene (PE) - sepiolite nanocomposites are very interesting materials because they combine their properties in a synergetic manner. Chemically, sepiolite is a hydrated magnesium silicate with the ideal formula ...

TiO2 aqueous suspensions under illumination of UV range (310-400 nm UV-A) have demonstrated a big potential for water decontamination and disinfection for human consume. Separation of TiO2 from the process is not easy. ...

Fatty acids from a sewage sludge of a wastewater treatment plant were extracted using a porous polyethylene (pPE) material prepared using agricultural plastic films. The pPE fatty acid extraction profile and yield from the ...
