  • Effect of extensive recycling on high density polyethylene (HDPE) mechanical properties [Elektronski vir]
    Oblak, Pavel, 1981- ...
    In plastics industry it is a common practice to mechanically recycle waste material ari sing from production , h owever, in this process material mechanical properties change. In this study, ... mechanical recycling of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was simulated by one - hundred (100) consecutive extrusions cycles . Further, m echanical properties w ere characterized in terms of hardness and modulus, and shear creep compliance was measured to characterize the time - dependent mechanical properties. In addition, structural changes were studied through the degree of crystallinity obtained via Differential Scanning Calorimetry . The results show that h ardness and modulus significantly decrease after 10th extrusion cycle, while in case of shear creep compliance evident changes are visible in particularly after the 30th extrusion cycle. All those changes are well supported by the degree of crystallinity. It can be said that mechanical recycling causes deterioration of HDPE mechanical properties that becomes more evident after 10th reprocessing cycle.
