On a contribution to study some mechanical properties of <scp>WEEE</scp> recycled polymer blends

This research deals with the study of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene/polycarbonate (ABS/PC) totally derived from wastes electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The aim this is to investigate macroscopic use properties 100% recycled polymers compare them virgin materials. First, a preliminary work sorting characterization was necessary identify predominant polymer components in lots. Then, four compositions blends were performed at laboratory using twin-screw extruder injection techniques. Next, series experimental tests carried out morphology blends, their mechanical thermo-mechanical behavior. results highlighted synergistic effect by blending ABS PC wastes. In addition, comparison mixtures has shown decrease waste however, behavior still ductile stiffness enhanced.
