Abstract:
A recent trend in the development of renewable and biodegradable materials has led to the development of composites from renewal sources such as natural fibers. This agricultural activity generates a large amount of waste in the form of peanut shells. The motivation for this research is based on the utilization of peanut shells as a viable source for the manufacture of biocomposites. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a plastic largely used in the industry due to its durability, high strength to density ratio, and thermal stability. This research focuses in the mechanical and thermal properti

Abstract:
A variety of modified minerals have been screened to determine their effectiveness as agents for the catalytic transformation of the thermally generated off gases arising from the pyrolysis of the polyolefinic plastic High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This polymer has been shown to degrade through a series of known mechanisms to yield a hydrocarbon product mixture consisting of an homologous series of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons which include alk-1-enes, n-alkanes, alk-x-enes and a-w-dienes. Modification treatments have been wide ranging having included activation of the parent mine

Abstract:
High density polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used plastic but it is also a combustible material. One way of reducing flammability is to add fillers, such as magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). However, this has a deleterious effect on the mechanical properties of composites. It has been found that one possible method of restoring mechanical properties is to modifY the filler particles with coating agents, such as stearic acid. In the present work, this idea was taken a stage further with the use of various metal stearates (e.g. magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, and zinc stearate) for modifying

Abstract:
The main aim of this work was to investigate the process-structure-property relationship of high density polyethylene (HOPE)/carbon nanofiller composites. A secondary aim was to develop thin thermoplastic films with enhanced electrical and mechanical properties for the potential use in aerospace applications. Three types of carbon nanofillers with different dimensions, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) and carbon black (CB) respectively, were used to reinforce the polymer matrix. The melt-mixed HOPE/carbon nanofiller composites were processed by compression

Abstract:
Oxidative processes are linked to a number of major disease states as well as the breakdown of many materials. Of particular importance are reactive oxygen species (ROS), as they are known to be endogenously produced in biological systems as well as exogenously produced through a variety of different means. In hopes of better understanding what controls the behavior of ROS, researchers have studied radical chemistry on a fundamental level. Fundamental knowledge of what contributes to oxidative processes can be extrapolated to more complex biological or macromolecular systems. Fundamental conce

Abstract:
The primary objectives of this thesis were to investigate and compare the fracture and creep behaviour of micro- and nanocomposites based on polyethylene (PE) produced by melt mixing. To achieve these objectives, different fillers were considered: micrometric copper particles, nanometric carbon blacks (CBs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In the first part of this dissertation, the fracture behaviour of PE-CB composites was investigated via the Essential Work of Fracture (EWF) approach by producing composites with different CBs in order to investigate the effect of the filler partic
