A Futuristics Pyrolysis Technique: Conversion of Waste Plastic Polybags Into Fuel
Abstract: Plastics are high molecular weight materials composed of repeating polymer units and can be classified based on factors like chemical composition, structure, stiffness, application types, and processing methods. A key environmental issue with plastics is their non-biodegradability, causing them to persist in the environment. Pre-consumer plastic waste includes manufacturing defects, rejected items, and excess materials produced during virgin plastic manufacturing. In India, around 15,342 tons of plastic waste are collected …

A review on Plastisphere
Abstract: Plastic waste contamination has emerged as a growing ecological issue of great significance. Plastic has been found in various environments, including within the human body, creating a growing threat to both ecosystems and people. In the ocean, plastic debris undergoes gradual fragmentation into tiny particles known as microplastics due to the disruption of physical and chemical processes. These microplastics serve as a habitat for diverse microbial communities, such as fungi, …

STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGICAL, PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF DISPOSED POLYPROPYLENE AND POLYVINYL CHLORIDE BINARY MIXTURES
Abstract: In this study, various compositions were prepared by modifying the decommissioned polypropylene (PP)-based polymer waste with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in different proportions for the purpose of modification, and the flow index and physical and mechanical properties of their alloys were studied. As a result of the research, the following results were obtained. PP/PVC binary compositions were prepared and samples were obtained based on 6 different proportions by changing the amount …

Bionanocomposites in Green Synthesis of Bioplastics - The Composite Materials of Future & Their Role in Circular Bio-Economy
Abstract: The pervasive use of petroleum-derived plastics has caused severe environmental pollution, accumulating in landfills and oceans while threatening human and animal health. This ecological crisis has accelerated an urgent transition toward biodegradable polymers within the circular bioeconomy. Bionanocomposites, comprising a biodegradable polymer matrix integrated with nanoscale fillers, successfully bridge the gap between high industrial performance and environmental responsibility. By incorporating advanced nanofillers such as cellulose nanocrystals, chitin nanofibers, layered silicates …

Experimental Study on Effect of Recycled Epoxy Powder Reinforcement on Tensile Behavior of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Abstract: Thermosetting plastic found wider application in the field of Aerospace, Aircraft, Wind Turbines, Marine and construction due to their long life, light weight and high strength. Among thermosets, epoxy is the major contributor. The world epoxy resin usage is almost 3.6 million tons in the year 2022 and it may cross 5.91 million tons by 2029. At their end of life most of it goes to land filling which leads …
