The effect of controlled degradation with an organic peroxide on the molecular characteristics and properties of heterophasic propylene-ethylene copolymers (HECO)
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Heterophasic copolymers (also known as HECO polymers) or often referred to only as impact
copolymers or block copolymers comprise a polymer matrix with a dispersed rubbery
copolymer phase. The polymer ...
The effect of in-process ethylene incorporation on the evolution of particle morphology and molecular characteristics of commercial heterophasic ethylene propylene copolymers (HEPCs)
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Impact copolymers or heterophasic polypropylene-ethylene-co-propylene copolymers (HEPCs) commonly produced in industry are valued for their good mechanical properties, combining the rigidity of the ...
The effect of molecular composition on the properties of polyolefin-wood composites
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Polymer composites, and in particular wood-polymer composites have become commercially and
environmentally important materials. Studies in polyolefin-wood composites have mostly focused
on polypropylene ...
