“…While the tensile strength of the fibres is reported as 278 mN/Tex on the manufacturer's datasheet, neither the manufacturer nor the literature provide the conversion factor to convert mN/Tex into MPa for this fibre type. However, a conversion factor was found in the literature for polypropylene fibres of 1 mN/Tex z 0.9 MPa [Vinidiktova et al 2006]. So, the tensile strength for GFRP used here is estimated to be 250 MPa.…”

“…The possibility of obtaining cheaper biodegradable materials is mainly associated with the development of polymer compositions, including, along with traditional thermoplastic synthetic polymers, biodegradable additives or fillers of natural origin [9]. Among them are known biodegradable polymer compositions containing polysaccharides, starch, cellulose, chitin, chitosan, and others as a filler [10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, some of the listed additives are valuable food products; therefore, the production of large-capacity materials on their basis for the manufacture of short-term products is economically unjustified.…”

“…Due to their high biological activity, relatively low cost, and environmental safety, zinc compounds are very promising for use as biocidal additives, since they exhibit high antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria and fungi [11,12,59]. In addition, zinc compounds are biocides with a limited duration.…”

Polymeric materials that undergo degradation under the influence of biological media have attracted widespread attention in recent decades. This is due to the ability to eliminate the negative impact on the environment, gradually reducing the scale of plastic waste pollution. At the same time, it remains relevant to ensure the necessary performance characteristics of products for a certain period of use. An important direction in the field of biodegradable composite compositions is the development of nontoxic additives in order to ensure their safe interaction with biological media. In this regard, a method has been developed for the joint production of a new nontoxic plasticizer decyl phenoxyethyl adipate and a biocidal additive of zinc decyl adipate. The effect of the obtained additives on the biodegradation of PVC film samples under natural conditions was studied. The period of biocidal action of zinc compound formed in situ in an amount of 0.3% in the composition of PVC films using the developed plasticizer was determined.

“…Starch and recycled cotton particle is a polar hydrophilic material while the PP is a hydrophobic material with nonpolar. The compatibility between them is poor11, 12 and therefore one needs to consider a means to improve this paring of starch and recovery cotton into PP. The performance of the bond behavior determines the capacity of transferring the strain from the polymer matrix to the fiber, and further determines the strength of composite materials.…”

In this study, wasted cotton cloth was bonded with soluble starches as an adhesive, then dried, cut into fiber fragments and filled into polypropylene (PP) to achieve resource efficiency. The mechanical, thermal, and crystallization properties of the composites were characterized. The results indicated that with the addition of wasted cotton cloth treated without or with silane coupling agent (RC or TRC), PP composites' tensile strength, impact strength, and flexural strength have been improved. The heat distortion temperatures increased slowly, indicating that wasted cotton cloth filled into PP can be turned back into useful items without degradation of PP composites exhibited. Thus, it is a good avenue for the utilization of an otherwise wasted cotton cloth resource. The crystallization activation energy, nucleation constant, and folding surface free energy of PP were markedly reduced in PP/RC composites and its compatibilized composites. The value of F(T) gradually increased with the increasing relative degree of crystallinity. The addition of wasted cotton cloth could significantly reduce the spherulitic size of PP.
