In this work, prepared crosslinking polyethylene (XLPE) samples with hydrophilic bentonite nanoclay fillers (H₂Al₂O₆Si) at concentrations of 0, 1, 2.5, 4, and 5 wt% enhance their flame-retardant and radiation shielding efficiency. The research investigated flame retardancy and thermal stability parameters. The XLPE/H₂Al₂O₆Si nanocomposite polymer sheets were exposed to a collimated beam of fast neutrons using an Am/Be neutron source (5 Ci) and to gamma radiation using a ¹³⁷Cs point source (5 μCi) to assess their radiation shielding properties. The study found that uniform dispersion of nanoclay particles enhanced the thermal properties of the composite, forming a char layer that acted as a barrier, slowing thermal decomposition and reducing the heat release rate. Limiting oxygen index (LOI) increased from 28% to 34%, and burning rate improved with higher nanoclay concentrations. Additionally, absorption and optical band gap calculations decreased with increasing filler concentrations. Radiation attenuation capabilities increased by approximately 40% for neutrons and 30% for gamma radiation compared to pure XLPE. The study concluded that incorporating nanoclay fillers into XLPE enhances its shielding capabilities and improves flame resistance properties, making the prepared samples suitable for various industrial applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14236,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterization","volume":"29 7","pages":"Pages 547-561"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of biodegradable polymers from natural and renewable ingredients can address the challenges caused by plastic pollution. The present work deals with the optimization of the preparation process of sago starch-based biodegradable bioplastic films. The sago starch, glycerol-sorbitol mixture, and chitosan were used as polysaccharides, plasticizers, and antimicrobial agents, respectively. The factors screening and design optimization were performed using response surface methodology and Box-Behnken Design to investigate the interactions between all components in the film preparation. Furthermore, the developed bioplastic films were characterized through field emission scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The antimicrobial susceptibility assay showed the inhibition of the growth of <em>Bacillus pumilus</em> and <em>Alcaligenes faecalis XF1</em> by incorporation of cinnamon essential oil into the film. Moreover, the developed films successfully reduced the proliferation of fungal growth on packaged bread samples. The microbial analysis found that the shelf life of the wheat bread was improved from 3 to 15 days.

In this study, PEES was chemically modified by nitration, yielding nitrated Poly (1,4-phenylene ether ether sulfone) (NPEES). Following that, NPEES nanocomposites (NCs) comprise multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and the process involved the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide-oxidized single-walled carbon nanotubes, abbreviated as reduced (GO-oxSWCNTs). Various characterization techniques were used on the created membranes, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (AT-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. All polymer nanocomposites were found to be amorphous, according to the XRD patterns. SEM scans revealed random crater-like features on the surface of NPEES, but MWCNTs and reduced (GO-oxSWCNTs) NCs were distributed evenly on the polymer surface.
