Continuous Modification of Polypropylene Via Photoinitiation

Amintowlieh, Yasaman; Tzoganakis, Costas; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2015-07-03)

A twin screw extruder was used for continuous modification of polypropylene (PP) via UV radiation. Long chain branches were incorporated in the PP backbone to modify its rheological properties. Benzophenone (BPH) as ...
Nylon-6/Agricultural Filler Composites

Amintowlieh, Yasaman (University of Waterloo, 2010-09-02)

Preparation of thermoplastics composites using engineering thermoplastics and plant fibers or fillers is a technical challenge because the processing temperature of the thermoplastics is generally above the temperature of ...
An Overview of the Potential of UV Modification of Polypropylene

Amintowlieh, Yasaman; Tzoganakis, Costas; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-02)

UV radiation with a photoinitiator has been utilized to modify polypropylene (PP). Factors affecting solid state photomodification were studied and the optimal processing conditions for formation of three different structures ...
