It is of vital importance, especially in the case of multithreaded processing, taking into account both the influence of individual raw materials and the process parameters, which may noticeably affect them in situ. Herein, the presented work quantifies the impact of rotational molding (RM) conditions on degradation mechanisms in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and LDPE-based composites. The experimental technological tests were performed at 200, 225, and 250 °C temperature sets. The influence of different conditions affecting the outer layers of the product (overheating) and inner walls (thermo-oxidation) was analyzed. The polymeric composite was produced using coffee spent grounds (CSG), a waste-based filler rich in active antioxidant compounds, which makes the final material a potential self-stabilizing composite. After processing, samples taken from rotational molded parts were exposed to UV light on the external and internal walls of the product to intensify selected groups of degradation phenomena and to separate the effects resulting from the degradation of the lignocellulosic filler itself, the polymer matrix, and the passivation of active compounds contained in the CSG. Studies have shown that the introduction of 5 wt% CSG, regardless of the degree of degradation of the filler's lignocellulosic structure, did not significantly affect the limitations of stabilization efficiency resulting from the passivation of polyphenolic active compounds. The protection factor (PF), calculated based on oxidation induction time (OIT), decreased by 5 to 23 %, depending on the sample mass, as a result of using a maximum temperature set of 250 °C.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22097,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Materials and Technologies","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article e01652"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145120650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, an innovative process integrating plasma and UVA irradiations is introduced to cold pad-batch towards a conservation-oriented and highly-efficient bleaching target. Noteworthy, plasma and UVA irradiations play their respective role in bleaching, i.e., plasma induces an easily-wetted fiber surface for better contact with bleaching agents, while UVA boosts bleaching efficiency through catalyzing the decomposition of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Findings indicate that the combination of plasma and UVA radiations reduces the required H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> from 45 to 30 g/L, NaOH from 15 to 10 g/L, batch duration from 24 h to 1 h, and gets rid of penetrant.

Optimal conditions (27.5 g/L H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, 12 g/L NaOH, plasma treatment for 180 s, UVA radiation for 85 min) results in a theoretical maximum whiteness of 80.5, making a 100 % improvement over the greige fabric. The mechanism study of plasma-assisted bleaching validates an increase in the number of oxygen-containing groups and a physically etched surface on cotton, which facilitates the infiltration of bleaching oxidants to completely degrade the color impurities.

One applicable method in seawater is employing oil absorbents/adsorbents, but most of them have low selectivity for oil, meaning they will not completely clean the water or make the collected oil reusable. Accordingly, in this review, the works aiming for oil spillage treatment using superhydrophobic absorbents/adsorbents have been reviewed. Superhydrophobic absorbents/adsorbents, due to their strong water-repelling ability, have high selectivity for oil. Moreover, some superhydrophobic absorbents/adsorbents can absorb/adsorb emulsified oil in water. Consequently, this type of absorbent/adsorbent will reduce final costs and environmental impacts. This review paper provides an overview of previous studies and their pros and cons to help future researchers find inspiration for more advanced and thorough studies. In this review paper, the urgency of oil spill cleanup is discussed in the introduction, and the superiority of employing superhydrophobic absorbents/adsorbents is compared to other types of treatment.
