Effect of Particle Size of Recycled Polyamide 6 to Impact Toughness and Hardness

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work aims to investigate the effect of recycled material and effect of particle size on the mechanical properties of the recycled material. Tested material is polyamide 6. Every manufacture of any plastic parts produces certain amount of waste, such as defective injects or cold runner system from injection molding technology. When size of this material is reduced, particles of different sizes are made. From large particles similar to the original granulate material, to dust particles. This size variation can cause problems during subsequent processing. These particles of different size have distinct melting rate. To determine behavior of recycled material at room temperature. Impact toughness and hardness tests are performed.
