Keeping information about the properties of a thermoplastic beforehand is always beneficial. This helps in selecting the right thermoplastic for an application. It also assists in evaluating if the end-use requirement would be fulfilled or not. Here are some key properties and benefits of polypropyl...
EPP has excellent impact characteristics, allowing it to regain its shape after being struck. Hobbyists use EPP extensively in model aircraft and other radio-controlled vehicles. This is due to its ability to withstand impacts, making it an ideal material for beginner ...
cubic centimetre. varying properties are exhibited by different types of polypropylene, which is usually dependent on the crystallinity, molecular weight distribution, length of the chain, and the isotacticity of the macromolecule. the key characteristics exhibited by almost all types of polypropylene ...

Unfilled and ...
Polypropylene(PP) use in containers in theUSAin 1997 amounted to only 73millionkg, much lower than the use ofHDPEorPET.PPis apolyolefin, like HDPE, and has many similar properties in terms ofstrengthand barrier. One significant difference is that theglass transition temperatureof PP (−17 °...
The results of the morphological analyses indicate that, despite the surface polarity mismatch between iPP and ZnO, the extrusion process and the unique characteristics of the utilized particles allow a composite with a fair distribution of particles to be obtained, although some agglomeration phenomena...
Modifying the surfaces of polymers has received a great deal of attention, because it could bring about specific surface characteristics such as antithrombogenic property. Therefore, N-vinyl pyrrolidone/sodium acrylate (NVP/Na-AAc) binary monomers were introduced onto polypropylene (PP) films by a ...
Physico-mechanical properties of the virgin PP and nanocomposites with different nanomer percentages and compatibilizer loadings were studied and compared. Thermal characteristics of nanocomposites were also compared with those of the virgin polymer. TEM analysis of the nanocomposites was carried out to...
insight into the characteristics and sorption behaviors of aged polystyrene microplastics through three type of accelerated oxidation processes 2021, journal of hazardous materials citation excerpt : ageing will increase the crystallinity of mps, and polymers with increased crystallinity are expected to have...
It was found that the abrasion behavior of the yarns varies over a wide range and is related to such fundamental properties as the polymer and fiber molecular weight, undrawn fiber orientation and crystalline structure, drawn fiber properties, and elevated temperature post-treatment. It was also ...
