INVESTIGATION OF POLYLACTIC ACID AND NANOCLAY EFFECTS ON THE DEGRADATION PROPERTIES OF LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE BIO-COMPOSITES

Dina I.*, Gimba C. E, Okele A.

This study investigated the influence of polylactic acid (PLA), Nano clay, and glycerine as compatibilizers on the degradation properties of virgin and waste low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a primary material in polyethylene bag production. Virgin and waste LDPE, PLA, and Nano clay were sourced locally and compounded using a two-roll mill and comp...

Environmental Sanity by Recycling of Waste Polypropylene Products and Waste Coir Fibre on the Mechanical Properties as Compared to Virgin Polypropylene: A Case Study of Kaduna Polytechnic Tudun Wada

Dina I.*, Agbohor V., Okele A.

A study of the effects of waste coir and waste polypropylene on the mechanical properties of virgin polypropylene was investigated. The coir fibres (filler) were treated with NaOH to improve properties and enhance better adhesion between matrix (PP) and filler (coir fibre) before compounding it with waste PP which was washed and crushed. Virgin PP ...

Processing and Evaluation of Horn Fibre Reinforced Polypropylene

Dina I.*, Agbohor V., Okele A.

This study investigates the Processing and Evaluation of Horn Fibre reinforced polypropylene. A new functional composite has been developed using particles of defatted cow horn fibre and charcoal which act as a compatibilizer and natural colorant and waste polypropylene. Physical and Mechanical properties of the composite with varying wt% of polypr...
