ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The properties of polymer nanocomposites depend greatly on the chemistry of the polymer matrices, the nature of the nanofillers, and the way in which they are prepared. Understanding the synthesis–str ...

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 ...

Commercial polyolefins degrade under the influence of light, heat, chemical and mechanical factors. They are therefore stabilised to ensure that they maintain performance characteristics during their service life. Degradation ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The crystallization of polyolefins is an important parameter in determining the properties of such materials. The crystallization phenomenon generally depends on the molecular symmetry (tacticity) and ...

Polypropylene is an extremely versatile material and has a broad spectrum of applications due to the variations in properties which are possible with this material. The variations in the properties of the material are ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Impact Polypropylene Copolymers (IPCs) are extremely complex materials, consisting of a mixture of polypropylene homopolymer and copolymers having different comonomer (ethylene) contents and chemical ...

Unstabilised polyolefins are susceptible to degradation when exposed to molecular oxygen, heat, irradiation as well as chemical and mechanical stimuli. Oxidation leads to changes in molecular properties such as molecular ...
