Item In silico study on thermal decomposition of polystyrene tetramer model compound(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2022-06) Wanniarachchi,J. D; Prashantha,M. A. B; Karunarathna,B. S. WThe studies on the pyrolysis processes aid the development and use of pyrolysis technology for waste plastics. The present study investigated the thermal decomposition mechanism of the tetramer model compound of polystyrene by employing the density functional theory method at B3LYP/6-31G (d) level of theory.Item Utilization of synthetic silica and cross-linked polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as anti-block agents and evaluating their influence on desirable physical properties of power cables(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2022-06) Premathilaka,H. M. B; Prashantha,M. A. B; Arunajith,R. A. P; Karunarathna,B. S. WA cable is composed of three major components, namely, conductor, insulation, and jacket. Copper and aluminium are widely employed as conductors in cables. PVC is a popular insulating material, which offers outstanding resistance to a wide
