This study investigates the mechanical recycling of polyamide 6 (PA6) from discarded fishing nets and polypropylene (PP) from automotive battery scraps and household waste for automotive applications. The mechanical properties of both materials were... Read More about Mechanical recycling of polyamide 6 and polypropylene for automotive applications.

Tuning the Structure–Property Relationships in Binary and Ternary Blends of PLA/PBAT/PHBH (2024)
Journal Article
Nofar, M., Salehiyan, R., & Barletta, M. (2024). Tuning the Structure–Property Relationships in Binary and Ternary Blends of PLA/PBAT/PHBH. Polymers, 16(12), Article 1699. https://doi.org/10.3390/polym16121699

While the brittle polylactide (PLA) has a high durability among bioplastics, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) with certain ductility exhibits facile compostability. The addition of polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) may als... Read More about Tuning the Structure–Property Relationships in Binary and Ternary Blends of PLA/PBAT/PHBH.

Clay Dispersion Assessment via FT-Rheology for Polypropylene/Clay Nanocomposites Fabricated by an Electric Field (2023)
Journal Article
Kim, M., Kim, M. C., Myung, J. S., Salehiyan, R., Choi, W. J., & Hyun, K. (2023). Clay Dispersion Assessment via FT-Rheology for Polypropylene/Clay Nanocomposites Fabricated by an Electric Field. ACS Applied Polymer Materials, 5(9), 6695-7674. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.3c01104

Nonlinear viscoelastic parameters obtained from a large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) test have widely received attention in polymer nanocomposite (PNC) characterization. Previously, we reported that nonlinear parameters, Q0 and NLR (nonlinear–l...
