A comparative study on long term stability of self-healing epoxy coating with different inorganic nanotubes as healing agent reservoirs
( BME-PT and GTE , 2017 , Article)Self-healing epoxy coatings were prepared with different nanotubes as reservoirs for epoxy monomer (healing agent). The nanotubes selected for the current study were TiO2 nanotubes with two different tube diameter (TNT1 ... -
Antibacterial treatment of LDPE with halogen derivatives via cold plasma
( BME-PT and GTE , 2015 , Article)The factor limiting the application of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in healthcare is its high susceptibility to bacterial growth. For this reason, we here investigated antibacterial treatments of LDPE foils using ... -
Are we closer to a solution for the plastics waste disaster which faces the earth
( BME-PT and GTE , 2019 , Article)[No abstract available] -
Artificial weathering and accelerated heat aging studies on low-density polyethylene (Ldpe) produced via autoclave and tubular process technologies
( BME-PT and GTE , 2021 , Article)Accelerated (artificial) weathering and thermal aging tests were performed to investigate the effectiveness of different formulations in reducing the UV/heat degradation extent for two low-density polyethylene types (LDPE-A, ... -
Containers' for self-healing epoxy composites and coating : Trends and advances
( BME-PT and GTE , 2016 , Article)The introduction of self-healing functionality into epoxy matrix is an important and challenging topic. Various micro/nano containers loaded self-healing agents are developed and incorporated into epoxy matrix to impart ... -
Crystallization and dielectric behavior of PLA and PHBV in PLA/PHBV blends and PLA/PHBV/TIO 2 nanocomposites
( BME-PT and GTE , 2019 , Article)The morphology, crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of PLA, PHBV and their blends and nanocomposites with TiO 2 as filler were investigated. An uncommon morphological change was observed with increasing PLA ... -
Editorial corner - A personal view are biodegradable polymers the solution to the world's environmental problems
( BME-PT and GTE , 2017 , Article)For all their useful properties, polymers are fast becoming a serious environmental hazard. Polymers are normally disposed through landfilling, recycling and incineration. Landfill sites, however, become increasingly scarce, ... -
Editorial corner - a personal view increasing service lifetime of commodity polymers in parallel with development of usable biodegradable polymers
( BME-PT and GTE , 2021 , Article)[No abstract available] -
Effect of plasma treatment on accelerated pla degradation
( BME-PT and GTE , 2021 , Article)Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has been found to be important in various applications, such as in the medical, pharma-ceutical, and packaging industries. However, the long-term associated degradation process of PLA is a limiting ... -

Impact of corona and radio-frequency plasma treatment on the degradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)
( BME-PT and GTE , 2022 , Article)Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a polyester, produced naturally by microorganisms, with excellent biocompatibility. Corona and radio-frequency (RF) plasma treatment were applied in order to improve ... -
Influence of accelerated weathering on the physical and structural properties of poly(Lactic-acid)/ poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (pla/phbv) blends
( BME-PT and GTE , 2021 , Article)The paper aims to study the poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) blend properties after their degradation under 2000 h of accelerated weathering conditions following the ASTM D4329 ... -
Modeling polymeric gels: The role of chain flexibility on the structure of physical gels
( BME-PT and GTE , 2017 , Article)Using molecular dynamics simulations and a simple model for chain molecules we study the gel formation under different conditions. The main characteristic of the model is the short attractive range of the non-bonding ...
