Thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs), blends of polypropylene, elastomers and other additional filers, are non-polar materials with low energy surfaces. Surface pretreatment is required to enhance the surface energy and to achieve adequate paint adhesion to the TPO surface. In this …

Hydrogen bond-mediated self-assembling biscarbamates were studied as model compounds of polyurethanes with respect to the crystallization and gelation behaviour in both solid state and solution phase respectively. Systematic investigation of effects of the structural features of…

Plastic are a highly durable, lightweight and low cost family of polymeric materials that form an essential and integral component of today’s world. Their continued world-wide large scale manufacture has led them to be a major component of man-made waste. A large proportion of p…
