Blending of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) from waste bottles with polypropylene (PP)... more Blending of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) from waste bottles with polypropylene (PP) was performed in an attempt to enhance the processability of RPET. The idea of blending RPET with PP sprouted from the intention of recycling PET bottles together with their PP‐based caps. Therefore, preliminary blending of RPET with neat PP (RPET/PP) was performed at various PP and compatibilizer contents. Morphological analyses on the extruded pellets of uncompatibilized blends indicate that the PP particle size and state of dispersion at skin and core regions were vastly different. The particles at the skin were at least 10 times smaller than that at the core although the size distribution was very wide. With the incorporation of just 5 phr of compatibilizer, the particles at the core region became significantly smaller and appeared to emulate that of the skin region. Furthermore, the overall homogeneity of the blends was vastly improved irrespective of PP content in the blend. The reduction in particle size and improved homogeneity inherently reduced stress concentration points and enhanced the mechanical performance of the blends. More importantly, the incorporation of PP into RPET significantly increased the degradation temperature of the blends, provided the dispersion of PP phase in RPET was excellent. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chemical methods such as sodium hydroxide surface treatment, hydrogen peroxide treatment, and acid hydrolysis were employed to prepare cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). The results of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy test indicated that the chemical modification of kapok fiber resulted in the removal of lignin and hemicellulose by a disappearing peak at 17, 52, and 148 ppm, respectively. Hydrolysis process of the kapok fiber resulted in nanometer-sized cellulose, with a yield of 72% as revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The amount of cellulose nanocrystals from kapok fiber (KF-CNC) used in the study varied from 0 to 5 phr during the formation of the cellulose rubber foam, and it was found that the foam density increased as the number of cellulose nanocrystals from kapok fiber increased. Additionally, the percentage of collapse from the compressive strength of cellulose rubber foam decreased as the amount of cellulose nanocrystals from kapok fiber increased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals from kapok fiber into the rubber foam (RF) as the amount of cellulose nanocrystals from kapok fiber increased. The oil absorbent of cellulose rubber foam composite with 1 phr cellulose nanocrystals from kapok fiber show highest absorption capacity was 17.8 g/g. The cellulose rubber foam composite absorbs oil before absorbing water when water and oil are combined. Moreover, the cellulose rubber foam could be reused more than 50 times.

The polymer collector used in this study was PVC composite (PVC-C). This material, with a conduction rate of 0.24 W/m K, was investigated through ASHRAE 93- 77 standard procedures and compared with a commercial solar collector made from a polyphenylene ether blend with polystyrene (Noryl). The mechanical properties testing used in this study are tensile strength, modulus, and elongation at break, before and after aging at 50oC for 10,000 hr in order to indicate aging. The lifetime expected from aging results for PVC-C was more than 8 years durability under these experimental testing conditions.

Effect of thermal conductivity and collector area was observed for four type of themoplastics based i.e PVC-B (PVC: Polyvinyl Chloride-Blue), PB (PB: Polybutene), PP-R (PP-R: Polypropylene Random Copolymer) and PVC-CB: (Polyvinyl Chloride-Carbon Black). The collector area of 2 m2 were prepared as for solar collector. The position of collector panel to south orientation and angle of 140 to the horizontal, which was the collector slope obtaining highest annual efficiency in Thailand, were implemented. Data was collected by data logger from 9.00-16.00 am throughout the day in which temperature reached a sufficient level according to standard test method of ASHRAE 93 77. The mass flow rate of water in collector was 0.02 (kg.s-1). The results of the differing thermal conductivity materials have indicated that there is no different of the materials on collector thermal efficiency. The collector efficiency was depends on the areas of the panel. This suggestion that one material should not only be chosen over another in term of its ability to transfer heat to the liquid within the panel but also collector area.
