Modulated differential scanning calorimetry

This project investigates the use of free radical initiators in the recycling of post consumer recycled high density polyethylene using reactive extrusion. Both molecular and rheological characterisation of recycled and reprocessed materials was carried out and this was followed by tensile testing of the modified materials to satisfy end use applications such as packaging and drainage piping.

The aim of this research project "Development of polylactic acid-polyhydroxybutyrate blends for packaging applications" is to examine the effect of temperature and concentration on the rheological and thermal properties of PLA/PHB blends as well as recommending the optimum composition of the PLA/PHB blends for use in packaging applications.
