This study determines the applicability of nanofillers (silica, boron nitride, and zinc oxide) in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/silicone rubber (SR) insulation compounds. Design of experiment is adopted to model the relationship between the properties (permittivity, loss tangent, dielectric strength, and volume resistivity) and factors (SR content, type of nanofiller, and nanofiller loading) for performance optimization. It is observed that SR content and type of nanofiller significantly influence the electrical properties of LLDPE/SR nanocomposites. Nanofiller loading, however, causes a small variation in the properties of the nanocomposites except for dielectric strength. From the optimization, it is found that the optimum formulation composition is 10 wt% of SR and 2 vol% of nanoboron nitride.

A new passive sampler based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) layflat tube filled with chrome shavings from tannery waste residues was evaluated to determine volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor and outdoor areas. VOCs were directly determined by head space-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) without any pretreatment of the sampler and avoiding the use of solvents. Limit of detection values ranging from 20 to 75 ng sampler−1and good repeatability values were obtained for VOCs under study with relative standard deviation values from 2.8 to 9.6% except for carbon disulfide for which it was 22.5%. The effect of the amount of chrome shavings per sampler was studied and results were compared with those obtained using empty LDPE tubes, to demonstrate the capacity of chrome shavings to adsorb VOCs.
