..., the efficiency of essential oils as green plasticizers and natural antimicrobial agents were evaluated. Design/methodology/approach Barrier properties and biodegradation behavior of linear low density polyethylene/starch (LLDPE/starch) blends plasticized with different essential oils including moringa...

... properties Biodegradation Thin films Cross-linking Shape memory materials Sodium alginate Degradation Shape memory polymers (SMPs) can perceive and respond to the stimulus of environmental change and change their mechanical parameters, or even can return to their initial state (Zhao et al...

... of sunflower seed oil (SSO) on the biophysical properties of the prepared composites is also investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope, mechanical, thermal, dielectric properties were assessed. Besides, the antimicrobial and biodegradation...

... applications. Research limitations/implications SNPs with its booming effect with respect to biodegradability, reactivity and higher surface area can be used as a novel reinforcement permanent finish for cotton fabrics instead of more hazardous materials likes poly acrylate and monomeric compounds...

... of these polymers were compared and evaluated, including solubility, cloud point, surface properties, interfacial tension, foaming emulsification and biodegradability. Most of the products are good biodegradable surfactants; which manifested the importance of their application in pollution problems. © MCB UP...

... and ¹H NMR spectral studies. Surface active properties, corrosion inhibitions and biodegradability were evaluated. The procedure described by El‐Sawy (1989), was followed in which, interaction of acrylic acid, propylene oxide and triethylamine as catalyst was conducted at 708C for about four hours...
