Journal Article
SIDDIQUE, S., NOVAK, A., GULIYEV, E., YATES, K., LEUNG, P.S. and NJUGUNA, J. 2022. Oil-based mud waste as a filler material in LDPE composites: evaluation of mechanical properties. Polymers [online], 14(7), article 1455. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/polym14071455

Traditionally, the drilling waste generated in oil and gas exploration operations, including spent drilling fluid, is disposed of or treated by several methods, including burial pits, landfill sites and various thermal treatments. This study investig... Read More about Oil-based mud waste as a filler material in LDPE composites: evaluation of mechanical properties..
