This research investigates how repeated contamination, microwave heating, and household dishwashing affect the appearance, properties, and food safety of plastic packaging materials. Polypropylene (PP), semi-crystalline polyethylene terephthalate (CPET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and Tritan™ co-polyester were subjected to simulated reuse co...
The present study investigates the feasibility of utilizing polylactic acid (PLA) and PLA-based natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs) in mechanical recycling. A conical twin screw extrusion (CTSE) process was utilized to recycle PLA and PLA-based NFRCs consisting of 90 wt.% PLA and a 10 wt.% proportion of either basalt fibers (BFs) or halloys...
The aim of this study was to develop microspheres as a drug delivery system using natural polymeric materials including Alginate and Chitosan using an Ionotropic Gelation method of synthesis. In this study, several parameters which affect the functionality of the microspheres were examined. They include; the concentrations of Chitosan, Sodium Algin...
