The effect of eco-degradant PD04 on the properties of recycled polyethylene/chitosan biocomposites
The effect of eco-degradant PD04 on the properties of recycled polyethylene (RPE)/chitosan biocomposites has been investigated. The recycled polyethylene/chitosan biocomposites were prepared by using Z-blade mixer at 180�C with a rotation speed of 50 rpm. RPE was filled with chitosan at various load...
