Study of the Mechanical Properties Re-Processed of Thermoplastic Polymer Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study presents the evaluation of selected mechanical tests of polymer composites which were re-processed. Materials Valox PBT (with 30 % glass fibre) and Celanex® 2004-2 PBT (without filler) and their regranulate were used at tests. The material PBT - regranulate PBT compositions investigated were 100/0, 80/20, 60/40, 30/70 and 0/100. Samples from PBT were prepared by injection molding and their mechanical properties were tested by tensile test and Shore hardness test. The material made from 100% recycled material compared to the baseline had a decrease in tensile strength and Shore hardness value hasn’t changed. Failure of the samples was also observed by SEM. Utilization of regranulate at the production of new moulded parts are important from aspect of reduction plastics waste and pollution abatement of environment.
