    Manufacturing Cycle and Environmental Impact The most common form of polyethylene is petroleum based or olefins based; as before mentioned polyethylene compounds have a wide commercial applicability and are made from non-renewable resources (Harding, Dennis, von Blottnitz, Harrison, & S.T.L., 2007). Its manufacturing processes are regarded as energy intensive and release significant amount of CO2 and heat into the atmosphere (Broderick, 2008). Next a little more detailed description of polyethylene’s

    investigation was to formulate nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/high density polyethylene blends (HDPE) blends using industrial waste (MW) and compatibilized by Chloroprene rubber (CR). Results indicated that the minimum and maximum torque increased with increasing HDPE amount in the blends, whereas scorch, and cure time showed the decreasing trend. Increment in HDPE increased the tensile strength, modulus, tear strength, hardness and crosslink density. % tensile strain, % compression set and abrasion loss

    cells as High density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) LDL is known as the BAD cholesterol (10). When the level of LDL becomes more than the level of cholesterol needed within the tissue it starts to disperse the extra cholesterol into the arteries. HDL is known as the GOOD cholesterol. Instead of HDL depositing cholesterol into the arteries like LDL does when there is an excess amount within the tissue, HDL actually carries it to the liver. The liver then eliminates it. High levels
