This research was concentrated on characterized mechanical properties and adjusted compatibility of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with thermoplastic starch (TPS) as biodegradable polymers composites. PLA was blended with TPS at the proportion of 10 20 30 50 and 70 wt% as well as 2 phr chain extender by an internal mixer at 200°C. The blended materials were then injection molded at 230°C. Tensile testing showed that as the amount of TPS increase the elongation at break tended to increase but the tensile strength and modulus tended to decrease. The morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscope. It was found that distinct phase between PLA and TPS was observed. Yet adding the chain extender clearly improved the compatibility between PLA and TPS. The blended materials were also analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry method to study thermal properties. It was found that as the amount of TPS increased the glass transition temperature (Tg) melting temperature (Tm) and cold crystallization temperature (Tcc) deceased. Additionally chain extenders did not affect thermal properties. The thermal stability of the composites decreased when increasing the amount of TPS because of the degradation of TPS in PLA. However when heated at 100ºC for 1 hr the PLA sample bent while TPS did not bend. When PLA was mixed with TPS the composite was bent according to adding TPS.

The design of plastic injection mold requires precision and efficiency of the injection. Therefore mold design engineers need to determine the size location and number of the gates to fit the length of the plastic flow in the work piece so that when the injection mold is built they’ll get the complete and specified specimen. This research was conducted to study the influence of injection flow channel thickness affects the flow index. Poly ethylene high density High density polyethylene HDPE was used in the experiments. The flow of plastic was Spiral Test according to ASTM: D 3123-94 with rectangular cross-sectional area of 6 mm. wide 6 mm. pitch. It was found that the thickness of the flow channel at 0.51.01.5 and 2.0 mm. which has the best flow rates at the best injection speed at 25% the injection pressure at 30% and the flow distance of 52 116 238 and 299 mm respectively with the plastic melting temperature between 190 C and 220 C.

This research is to study the efficiency of treating wastewater from dyeing fabric by the ozonation process. By using rutile TiO2 coated plastic media to catalyze. Which uses O3 generators with a capacity of 2.62 - 3.10 g/hr. By studying the factors that affect the treatment efficiency of COD and color such as the pH of the water used in the treatment at pH 3 pH 7 and pH 11 the initial COD concentration of 100% 50% and 25% which have values in the range of 100 -320 mg/L. O3 exposure time 120 min. From the study it is found that the efficiency of reducing the impurities in wastewater by the ozonation process in the pH 11 state the COD concentration at 50% can reduce the COD. And the maximum color is at 33.3% and 90% from the 550 ADMI color intensity with a COD of 180 mg/L. For the study of the efficiency of reducing the impurities of wastewater by ozonation process together with 2 g. of TiO2/1 L. of wastewater in the condition of pH 11 concentration COD Beginning at 100% with the ability to reduce COD values And the maximum color is at 40% and 80% of the 270 ADMI color intensity with a COD of 190 mg/L. The amount of O3 suitable for treatment has an average value of 0.0374 g/min./10.5 L. of wastewater. The duration of O3 exposure in both processes has a similar approach to the efficiency of COD and color treatment when increasing the duration of O3 exposure.

The plastic outlet problem is a rigid inflexible material. When assembling with a metal outlet set then it is usually not completely homogeneous. When used The outlet burns out quite often. And the plastic itself is less heat resistant. This allows the plastic to melt burn easily and conform to the upgrade of technology capabilities in precision mold manufacturing. And high complexity The researcher has foreseen the factors in making Developing the design and manufacturing of rubber plug molds economic opportunities for Natural Rubber Applications Therefore came up with the idea to develop the design and material selection. And the factors that affect the production is the mold and the process of forming. To help entrepreneurs to exchange knowledge and study the knowledge from this research to continue in the application of natural rubber to increase future value. From the results and experiments it was found that the study of the method of creating a prototype compression molding kit by using rubber forming techniques can be applied and used by various components of forming rubber can be used to develop forming Rubber plug sockets are possible and this process can produce prototypes from natural rubber.

One of important equipment in reforestation or tree planting is a pot for mulching tree saplings. Originally pots were made of clay but they were too strong. When the trees grow up the pots must be smashed in order to let the roots and the stems grow up. Plastic pots are a popular alternative to be potted tree saplings due to their longer usability flexibility keeping and easy cleaning. In addition they are light and easy to move or transport. Typical pots usually have holes at the bottom which make poor ventilation that caused the slow tree saplings growth. Pots with holes in the side let the air comfortably flow and the roots do not go to the bottom of the pot. When the pots are moved the tree sapling roots are not ragged this help reducing the mortality rate of tree saplings. To Construct and find out the efficiency of plastic pot injection molded with 7.7 cm. in size 8 cm. high 0.10 cm. thick and the weight of 20 grams in the specification form the work-piece can be injected. For Construction and finding out the efficiency of holes for putting the plastic pot injection molded with 41 cm. wide 51 cm.long0.20 cm. thick and the weight of 330 grams in the specification form every work piece can be injected. There are 18holes for putting the plastic pot and all 18 holes are in the same size. Asst. Prof. Prasong KanKaew
