The sources of scientific literature on the research have been investigated, various approaches to the processing and modification of polymers have been analyzed and the main direction of the study have been identified. The changes in the properties of thin layers of industrially produced low-density polyethylene (LDPE) grades 10803-20 and 16603-011 operating under different climatic conditions have been studied. It has been determined that changes with different intensities occur in the structure and in this connection in the physical and mechanical properties of LDPE that was in operation at different time intervals and in different climatic conditions of the Absheron Peninsula and the Aran region: melt flow index of polymer alloy, tensile strength at break, relative extension and values of other indicators are deteriorating. In polymer samples is formed 24,2 – 28,6% of insoluble phase and as a result of oxidation up to  12,3 – 16,8% carbonyl, hydroxyl and other functional groups.

Effect of nanoMagnesium Hydroxide (MH) nloading amount to the mechanical and physical properties of Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)/ Poly (ethylene-co vinyl acetate)(EVA) nanocomposite has been described and investigated in this paper. The tensile strength results show that increased amount of nanofiller will decrease and deteriorate the mechanical properties. The elongation at break decreased continuously with increasing loading of nanofiller. Generally, mechanical properties become poorer as loading amount increase. Melt Flow Index values for physical properties also provide same trend as mechanical properties results. Increase filler amount reduced MFI values whereby increased resistance to the flow.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has many unique properties such as lightweight and high chemical resistance. Unfortunately, it burns rapidly when it is exposed to a flame which limits its applications especially when flame resistance is to be considered. Different percentages of magnesium hydroxide and decabromide diphenyl ether (3.0, 5.0, 7.0, and 9.0 wt.%) were mixed with LDPE using a two-roll mill machine at 1600C for 2 minutes. Then, the tensile and flame retardancy tests samples were prepared by an injection molding process using an industrial plastic machine at 1600C. Flammability, rheological, tensile and thermal properties of the produced samples were tested using a flammability test apparatus, a melt flow index machine, a universal testing machine, and a differential scanning calorimeter, respectively. It was observed that the flame resistance of LDPE was improved with the addition of both flame retardants up to 7.0 wt.%, then it was reduced when 9.0 wt.% of flame retardants were used. This may be attributed to the poor mixing due to the increase in the polymer melt viscosity as observed from the melt flow index results. An increase in elastic modulus and a reduction in ductility of LDPE were observed with the increasing of flame-retardant contents while the ultimate tensile strength of LDPE was increased from 5.7 to 7.6 and 7.5 MPa when 9.0 wt.% and 7.0wt.% decabromide diphenyl ether and magnesium hydroxide were added. This is due to the fact that the additives act as a load carried and/or their effects on the degree of crystallinity of LDPE.

Influence of the composite preparing technology and filler type (hemp waste and hemp fibres) on the performance characteristics (melt flow index and water resistance) of the composites based on a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was investigated. The best melt flow index (MFI) results were achieved when as composites preparing method extrusion and two rolls mill with lubricant additive combination were used. It is established that usage of extrusion mixing method of the hemp fibers containing LLDPE composites significantly affects materials melts fluidity evaluated by values of MFI and quality of extruded profile. The lowest fluidity was observed for composite with hemp waste prepared by two rolls mill processing method. The best water resistance was observed for composites with lubricant and for their preparing two rolls mill and extrusion processing methods combination was used.

The study is highlighting the possibility of modeling the properties of composite materials based on recycled polypropylene (PPR), flour feathers(FF), and compatibilizers (C). The composite materials with 10% and 20% feather flour content were mixed and processed with a two-stage extruder having four heating zones between 200-230�C, in order to obtain granules. The granules were injected in various forms to evaluate the properties. The composite materials have been evaluated for determination of melt flow index (1900C; 2.16kg), density, Charpy impact, breaking strength, elongation at break, and the dielectric behavior. The results showed that the introduction of feather flour in the polymer matrix based on PPR leads to decreased flow properties as well as physical and mechanical properties. The solution in solving these deficiencies was to use compatibility agents, that would improve these properties. The physico mechanical properties were analyzed in order to identify a composite with optimal properties for industrial application.

In this study, two kinds of mineral fillers, bentonite (BNT) and barite (BRT), were incorporated into low density polyethylene (LDPE) by extrusion process. Silane treatment was applied to BRT and BNT surfaces in order to increase their compatibility with LDPE matrix. Surface characteristics of fillers were examined by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). LDPE-based composites were prepared at a constant concentration of 10%wt for each additives. Test samples were shaped by injection molding process. Mechanical, thermo-mechanical, water repellency, melt-flow and morphological characterizations of LDPE and its composites were performed by tensile and impact tests, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), water absorption test, melt flow index (MFI) measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique, respectively. Test results showed that surface treatments led to increase for final properties of composites since they promoted to stronger adhesion between minerals and LDPE matrix compared to untreated ones. Tensile and impact strength values, storage modulus and glass transition temperature of LDPE were improved by inclusion of silane treated minerals. BRT and BNT additions caused no remarkable changes with regard to MFI of LDPE. Additionally, silane modified mineral filled composites exhibited remarkable water resistance behavior. According to SEM analysis of composites, silane treated BNT and BRT containing samples displayed homogeneous dispersions into LDPE phase whereas debondings were observed for untreated BNT and BRT filled composites due to their weak adhesion to polymer matrix.

AbstractThe highly exothermic nature of the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymerization process and the heating-cooling prerequisite in tubular reactor can lead to various problems particularly safety and economic. These issues complicate the monomer conversion maximization approaches. Consequently, the dynamic optimization study to obtain maximum conversion of the LDPE is carried out. A mathematical model has been developed and validated using industrial data. In the dynamic optimization study, maximum monomer conversion (XM) is considered as the objective function, whereas the constraint and bound consists of maximum reaction temperature and product melt flow index (MFI). The orthogonal collocation (OC) on finite elements is used to convert the original optimization problems into Nonlinear Programming (NLP) problems, which are then solved using sequential quadratic program (SQP) methods. The result shows that five interval numbers produce better optimization result compared to one and two intervals.
