Fluidity of Plastic Blends with a Recycled Filler

Abstract:

This research paper deals with an investigation of the fluidity of plastic blends with a recycled filler. Five different blends with three filler concentrations were prepared. As a fillers were radiation crosslinked plastics used. Fluidity was determined by the spiral test where a cavity with the Archimedes spiral is used and a length of the resulting spiral is evaluated and compared. Results show that the more filler is used the worse fluidity there is; however lower concentrations have fluidity almost identical to the non-filled material and the difference is almost negligible. At higher concentrations is the difference more significant and thus it has to be taken into account. Particle size of the filler should be also taken into a consideration but its influence greatly depends on the matrix.
