Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical and/or thermal properties than more widely used commodity plastics, such as polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene. In general, they are produced in lower quantities than for high volume ends. Typical examples of engineering plastics include polycarbonate, polyamides and polysulfones (...)

This paper examines the tensile strength and Izod impact behavior of natural fibers and wood particles in recycled polypropylene composites for injection molding. The initial round of testing compares the performance of the straight recycled polypropylene resin versus non-compatibilized natural fiber or particle composites (...)

The consumption of plastic products over the years has been producing large numbers of waste material, which accumulate by landfill generating considerable environmental problems. Among biodegradable polymers, there is the PHB (poly-3-hydroxybutyrate), which has attracted more attention once it is obtained from renewable sources (...)

The present invention relates to a coatings composition comprising an alkyd, a pigment, a rheology modifier, a radical producing oxidoreductase, and one or more additives, wherein the alkyd contains at least one C6-30 -C(O)O-- group having at least one diallylic group (...)
