Constructing pristine and modified cellulose nanocrystals based cured polychloroprene nanocomposite films for dipped goods application
Eslami, Hormoz; Tzoganakis, Costas; Mekonnen, Tizazu H. (Elsevier, 2020-08)In this work, polychloroprene rubber (CR) nanocomposite films reinforced with native and modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were evaluated for dipped goods applications. The CNC modification, with a goal of enhancing ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
