According to a study from Al Ain, United Arab Emirates, "The thermal characteristics of thermally treated and untreated very low density polyethylene, isotactic polypropylene and their blends were investigated. Injection moulded blends containing five different weight percentages of VLDPE/iPP were prepared and thermally treated at 100 degrees C for 2, 4, 7 and 14 days."
"Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and infrared spectral analysis techniques were used to study the effect of thermal treatment and blending ratio on the thermal and chemical stability. The addition of PE had caused the T-m, heat of fusion and percentage crystallinity of PP main ...
