The Chemical Durability of Elastomeric Bituminous Geomembranes (BGMS) in Different Geoenvironmental Applications at Elevated Temperatures
… to elevated temperatures resulted in the thermo-oxidative degradation of the bituminous coat that increased its rigidity. Concurrently, the BGM exhibited degradation in the reinforcement layer resulting in the loss of its mechanical properties. The rate of degradation in the BGM components …

Development of analytical systems and monitoring of VOCs emissions during polymer processing
… compounds (VOCs) emissions during thermal degradation of polymers. This was used to estimate organic emissions from both virgin polymer resins and commingled plastics. The effects of process parameters, i. e., temperature, heating rate and residence time, were also studied. Significant VOCs …

Thermal, oxidative and hydrolytic degradation studies of poly(ethylene naphthalate)
Degradation of PEN is a particular problem above its melt temperature and is generally inevitable during synthesis and processing as the material is subjected to high thermal and mechanical stress. Whilst the literature is replete with studies on the degradation of PET, PEN has received little …

Multimodal Polyethylene-Graphene Nanocomposite via Melt Extrusion
… to sufficiently degrade, predominantly through thermo-mechanical degradation, as well as thermo-oxidative degradation, which subsequently created a suitable medium for the graphene sheets to disperse readily and distribute evenly within the polymer matrix. This project was conducted on about two …
