1. Environmentally Degradable Polyethylene : Effects of Additives and Environment on the Degradation and Degradation products
Abstract : This thesis summarises and compares the influences ofdifferent additives (photosensitisers, pro-oxidants, abiodegradable filler) on blown low-density polyethylene (LDPE)films during photo- and thermal degradation with respect tochemical changes in the polymer matrices and identifieddegradation products. Additives studied were irondimethyldithiocarbamate (FeDMC), nickel dibutyldithocarbamate(NiDBC), carbon black, starch, a pro-oxidant that consisted ofmanganese stearate together with styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)or natural rubber (NR) and a master batch containing linearLDPE, starch and pro-oxidant.

2. Small Molecule Diffusion in Spherulitic Polyethylene : Experimental Results and Simulations
Abstract : The diffusion of small-molecule penetrants in polyethylene is hindered by impenetrable crystals and by the segmental constraints imposed by the crystals on the penetrable phase. Liquid and vapour n-hexane sorption/desorption measurements were performed on metallocene catalyzed homogenous poly(ethylene-co-octene)s. READ MORE

3. ALTERNATIVE POLYETHYLENE CROSSLINKING CONCEPTS FOR POWER CABLE INSULATION
Abstract : We currently witness an accelerating shift from fossil energy sources to renewables driven by the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. Wind, solar and hydro power is most abundant in places far away from the end user, which necessitates the efficient transport of electricity over long distances. READ MORE

4. Oxidative Degradation of Polyethylene - A Cause of Off-flavour
Abstract : Polyethylene is the most frequently used polymer material in food packaging today. The polymer is often processed by film extrusion and extrusion coating between 250°C and 325°C. READ MORE

5. Material recycling of post-consumer flexible polyethylene packaging waste
Abstract : The mechanical and thermal properties of recycled post-consumer flexible polyethylene packaging waste was studied, using material collected and sorted on a large-scale from two sources. Unwashed, laboratory-scale washed, industrial-scale washed, and industrial-scale washed and melt-compounded (industrially recycled) materials were used. READ MORE
