abstract:
Blends of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) and high-density
polyethylene (R-PE), obtained from post-consumer packaging materials, were
compatibilized by melt mixing with various copolymers containing functional
reactive groups, such as maleic anhydride, acrylic acid and glycidyl
methacrylate. The effect of the type and concentration of compatibilizer,
as well as the mixing conditions, on the phase morphology, thermal
behaviour, rheological and mechanical properties of the blends was
investigated.
