Wood-Polypropylene Composites: Influence of Processing on the Particle Shape and Size in Correlation with the Mechanical Properties Using Dynamic Image Analysis
(2018-11-16)
The particle size and shape are of momentous significance for the mechanical properties of plastic composites. However, natural fillers, like wood, are not consistent in these attributes. In order to investigate the shared traits between these characteristics, WPCs were produced using polypropylene, hardwood and softwood fillers with different particle sizes and a coupling agent. Afterwards, specimens were processed using an injection molding machine. The filler sizes and shapes were measured using dynamic image ...

Influence of ethylene oxide and gamma irradiation sterilization processes on the degradation behaviour of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in the course of artificially accelerated aging
(2024-02-10)
To promote the application of bio-based materials in the field of medical technology, it is essential to conduct additional research, focusing on their long-term performance after sterilization. For this purpose, the study examines the aging behaviour of three poly(lactic-acid) (PLA) materials, sterilized with either ethylene oxide or gamma irradiation, over a two years aging period, in accordance with ASTM F1980-21. During these investigations, a direct correlation between moisture absorption and degradation progression ...
