Abstract
Recycling of polymers, with the aim of environmental protection and economical benefits, is important procedure, which is constantly developing. In this study the effect of the incorporation of recycled PET(r-PET) and recycled polypropylene/Flax(r-PP/Flax) to PP at low (20wt %) and medium content (40wt %) of r-PET was investigated. Polymer compounds were prepared by twin screw extruder followed by injection moulding. The effect of r-PP/Flax and r-PET on PP was evaluated using different techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetery (DSC), rheological behavior, and mechanical properties (tensile modulus, yield strength, and charpy notched impact...
