Effect of colorant, thickness, and pro-oxidant loading on degradation of low-density polyethylene films during thermal aging

The intensive usage of polyethylene (PE) films on packaging applications has created major problems in terms of plastic waste treatment and disposal. To reduce environmental impact, PE containing pro-oxidants (oxo-biodgradable PE) has been developed which manifests degradation under thermal and/or U...
