Preparation and Performance Evaluation of LDPE/Rice Starch Blend Composites by Extrusion Method
Abstract: Discarding synthetic polymers such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) used in food packaging ingredients is today considered a serious ecological threat because they are non-decomposable. The goal of this article is to create a decomposable polymer by incorporating a bio-polymer (starch) into its polymeric matrix. This article focuses on the preparation and characterization of rice starch (RS)-mixed LDPE decomposable polymer. In the first study, the effect of variability of RS content …

Prediction of Compressive strength of Periwinkle Shell Aggregate Concrete Using a Quadratic Polynomial Function
Abstract: In this study, a mathematical model is developed to predict the compressive strength of normal concrete made with periwinkle shell as coarse aggregate using a quadratic polynomial function. The response function is expressed as a multivariable function of the proportions of the component materials (water, ordinary Portland cement, sand and periwinkle shell). A total of thirty experimental runs were used to demonstrate the applicability of the mathematical model developed. The …
