Description
The effect of blends ratio of Recycled Polypropylene (rPP) and Recycled High Density Polyethylene (rHDPE) on tensile properties of rPP/ rHDPE geo-composites were studied. The increasing of rHDPE ratios has decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break of rPP/ rHDPE geo-composites, but the modulus of elasticity increased. The effects of rPP ratios have enhance the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of geo-composites. The elongation of break of rPP/ rHDPE was decreased with increasing the rPP content. At similar blends ratio, the rPP/ rHDPE geo-composites higher tensile strength and modulus of elasticity compared to rHDPE/ rPP geo-composites. The MFI value of rPP/ rHDPE higher than rHDPE/ rPP blends. The SEM micrograph showed that rPP/ rHDPE has smooth failure surface. (author)
