An Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Recycled EVA/Commingled Plastics

Abstract:

In the present study, the mechanical properties of recycled ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)/commingled thermoplastic polymer (CTP) composite material are investigated. The recycled CTP was blended with recycled EVA at different fractions by weight to form CTP/EVA composites.Test specimens of CTP/EVA composites were produced using compression moulding process to evaluate their mechanical properties. The results of tensile testing showed that the incorporation of EVA into CTP resulted in reduction of tensile strength but increase in elongation at break. In addition, the impact testing and flexural testing also showed that there is a general decrease in impact and flexural strength and also in flexural deformation, with increased percentage of EVA into the composite materials.
