DEVELOPMENT OF PLASTICISERS USING SCRAP

RUBBER

D.PADMASHREE, E.ANITHA, M.JENIFER

Rubber and Plastics Technology

Anna University, MIT Campus

ABSTRACT:

To develop plasticisers from scrap rubber for rubber processing to replace conventional

processing oils as well as to recycle rubber.

During compounding and processing of rubber, to make processing of rubber easier we

use processing aids. The conventional processing aids are mineral oils. Mineral oils are derivedfrom crude oil, natural gas. These processing oils when used during processing increase melt

viscosity, cause cleavage of polymer chain. The oils will also ooze out to the surface sometimes

which will cause the rubber to slip. Over a period of time or on exposure to high temperature,

these oils will ooze out to the surface and evaporate and as a result the compound stiffens.

To overcome all these defects scrap rubbers from worn out rubber products like tires,

hoses, tubes can be devulcanised by various methods to form a highly viscous liquid and used as

plasticisers. On using scrap rubber as plasticisers the mechanical properties can be retained

without loss, shows good ageing resistance, solvent resistance, heat resistance. Moreover usingscrap rubber as plasticizer helps us to manage polymer waste that causes hazardous impacts on

the environment in an effective manner.

THERMO-OXIDATIVE DEGRADATION OF POLYETHYLENE FILMS

GODWIN MICHAEL.A

Department of Plastics Technology,

Central Institute Of Plastics Engineering And Technology

ABSTRACT:

Thermo-oxidative degradation of polyethylene films containing pro-oxidant has

been studied at three temperatures that normally occur during composting conditions.

Methods are available to make it more degradable under certain conditions of

temperature, sunlight, moisture, oxygen and composting. After various periods, the

effects of thermo-oxidation were evaluated by measurements of molecular mass of the

materials. It is shown that while temperature is the most important factor influencing the

rate of thermo-oxidative degradation of the materials, oxygen concentration is of

negligible importance. The rate of aerobic biodegradation of the oxidation products was

evaluated under controlled composting conditions using measurements of produced

carbon dioxide. The ability of lignin-degrading microorganisms to attack degradable

plastics was investigated in pure shake flask culture studies. The degradable plastic used

in this study was produced commercially by using the Archer-Daniels-Midland

POLYCLEAN master batch and contained pro-oxidant and 6% starch. Pro-oxidant

activity was accelerated by placing a sheet of plastic into a drying oven at 70C under

atmospheric pressure and air. The effect of 2-, 4-, and 8-week long wave UV irradiation

at 365 nm on plastic biodegradability was also investigated. It has been thus possible to

produce a biodegradable low-density polyethylene which is environmentally

biodegradable material that is suitable for agriculture and packaging applications.

CATALYTIC CRACKING OF WASTE LLDPE

E. RAGHURAM, M. ARUN GANESH


Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology

ABSTRACT:

There is a dramatic increase in the polymer production and resulting polymer waste,

which gives serious environmental concerns, since polymers being non-biodegradable. LLDPE

has popularity for higher tensile strength and stiffness compared to rival LDPE. By 2008, theglobal demand for LLDPE films was 6-7% per annum. Our approach is to convert the polymer

waste to useful products, such as fuel oils and chemicals, which is accomplished by Catalytic

cracking. However, Secondary reactions, involving polymer residue and primary cracking

products, can be minimized by limiting the area between the interface. The main catalysts used

are Zeolite and Alumina based, where recent developments show high yield to liquid fuel

containing ultra stable Y-Zeolite. This paper contains results of study on polymer degradation

over commercial cracking catalysts. These process will seriously affect the economy of India.

HIGH TEMPERATURE POLYMERS

R. RENA, G. AARTHI



ABSTRACT:

Sensors and actuators used in the engine compartment are being exposed to higher

temperatures, more aggressive media and more extreme thermomechanical loads than ever

before. These combined stresses are imposing requirements that increasingly exceed the

capabilities of the polymers traditionally used to encapsulate and mount electronic

components. In such cases, switching to engineering polymers that offer higher performance

can provide a cost-effective solution. High-performance polyamides and optimized

thermoplastic polyesters, in particular, have the required performance reserves. With reference

to selected examples of underhood applications, innovative solutions are highlighted and

pointers to the future discussed.

BIODEGRADABLE POLYPHOSPHAZENE SCAFFOLDS

FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING

N.SAKTHIVEL, V.NARENDHARA KUMAR

Department of Polymer Technology

Kamaraj College of Engineering & Technology

ABSTRACT:

In order to obtain the special material for tissues after serious injury for supporting

it, biodegradable polyphosphazene scaffolds are prepared. It gradually starts to degrade soon

after placing in human body and tissues develops along with degradation. The function of this is

to support tissues till regeneration of new ones. The polymer degrades and forms simple organic

compounds mixes in human body itself . This inorganic biodegradable polymer is prepared by

sintering. Finally the scaffolds leave no traces of polymer. This is milestone in tissue

engineering using biodegradable polymers.

GREEN AND COST SAVING APPROACH FOR BASE

ISOLATION USING SEISMIC BEARINGS

G.SWETHA, S.AISHWARYA

Rubber and Plastics Technology

Anna University, MIT Campus

ABSTRACT:

You can no more win a war that you can win an earthquake-Jeannette Rankin.

This is not the case now.. We can win this war of earthquake by base isolation method

and here is our proposal for this as a green and cost saving approach.

Natural rubber has been successfully used in seismic bearings as a base isolation method to

protect structures from earthquakes. The function of rubber bearings is to lengthen the

fundamental horizontal period of the structures. Such a technology is significant for critical

buildings in not only protecting the structure but also its contents such as hospitals andemergency centers.

The current design of seismic rubber bearings require a huge quantity of steel plates

reinforcements which contribute up to 60% of the production cost. Any reduction in the cost of

rubber bearings will be welcomed by the users especially for the huge projects.

Therefore our paper focuses on the use of cheaper alternative reinforcements that could

minimise the amount of metal used, reduce the cost of each bearing and also obviate the

application of adhesives required for bonding. It also evaluates the performance of new modified

bearings in comparison with the conventional bearings, thus suggesting the efficient way of

seismic isolation.

STUDIES OF PHOTO AND BIODEGRADATION BY FERROUS

12- HYDROXYL OLEATE ADDITIVE BLENDED WITH STARCH

M.ESWARAN, K.R.KISHORE KUMAR, A.U.SANTHOSKUMAR



ABSTRACT

The motivation of the present work is to synthesize a new class of ferrous 12-

hydroxyloleate blended with STARCH and to study their performance on

photodegradation of low density polyethylene (LDPE) film. Ferrous 12-hydroxyloleate

/STARCH (Fe/S). Fe/S was successfully synthesized and their performance on the

photodegradability of LDPE film was evaluated by observing the disparity in the

structural characteristic, surface morphology, mechanical, and thermal properties

molecular weight determination upon degradation. LDPE films blended with differentcompositions (1, 3 & 5 wt %) of Fe/S was prepared by melt blending. The structural

characteristics of all the films were studied using Fourier transformed Infrared

spectroscopy (FTIR), surface morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM),

mechanical properties by Universal Testing Machine (UTM), thermal properties by

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis, Melt flow index

and dilute viscosity average method by viscometer. Fragments occur progressively in the

biodegradation of the photodegradaded films. Moreover, the biodegradation test results

reveals that the (Fe/S) shows 27% of biodegradation on photodegraded LDPE films when

observed at the end of 45 days
