In this study, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer was exposed to 12 injection cycles to investigate the influence of recycling number on the mechanical, rheological, and morphological properties. Also, binary and ternary blends including different weight percentages and recycling number of virgin–recycled polymers were prepared. A slight decrement was found in the tensile strength values with recycling number. All blends including recycled polymer (binary or ternary) gave lower tensile strength values with respect to 100% virgin polymer. Strain at break value was decreased after twelve times recycling; however, no clear tendency was observed with the presence of different ratios of virgin polymer to recycled polymer. Impact strength of the polymer decreased with recycling number. There was relatively large drop in the third recycling, from 72 kJ/m2 to 38.5 kJ/m2; however, further recycling induced in a slower drop in the impact strength to 32.5 kJ/m2. All blends including recycled material gave lower impact strength values as compared to 100% virgin polymer. It was observed that the melt flow index values increased with the recycling number, a total of 26.53% after twelve times recycling. All blends containing recycled material showed higher melt flow index values as compared to 100% virgin polymer.

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are modified successfully using polyethyleneimine (PEI). The HNTs and HNTs modified using PEI filled 90/10 (wt/wt) polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) blends and its nanocomposites are prepared by melt mixing technique in presence of dual compatibilizer. Droplet morphology is refined in matrix as well as selective localization of HNTs modified using PEI shows increase in crystallinity of PP phase and formation of β-form of PP crystals. Uniform dispersion of HNTs modified using PEI in PP resulted in improvement in impact strength, tensile modulus and thermal stability. The enhancement in tensile strength, tensile modulus, and impact strength for 1 wt% of HNTs modified using PEI filled 90/10 (wt/wt) PP/ABS blends with dual compatibilizer are 14.9, 20 and 15%, respectively.

Butadiene Styrene

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is one of the most widely used plastic. The application of ABS increases rapidly in industries recently. The drawback of the increasing demand of ABS is the increment of ABS waste. Huge increment in ABS waste has led to the increasing of environmental pollution. The demand in green technology and sustainability of resources has urged the need of recycling of ABS waste. However, the mechanical properties of the recycled ABS are deteriorated. Hence, this work aims to study the mechanical properties of blend virgin and recycled ABS. The first sample started with 100wt% of virgin ABS. While the second to eleventh samples was a mixing of virgin and recycled ABS at 10wt% incremental recycled ABS. The last sample was prepared using 100wt% of recycled ABS. The results show that the tensile strength of 100wt% of recycled ABS is slightly decreased as compared to 100wt% virgin ABS. Similar trend was observed on traverse rupture strength (TRS) when the TRS for 100wt% of recycled ABS is lower by 8% when compared to 100wt% of virgin ABS. The most significant change is observed on the impact strength. The impact strength for 100wt% of recycled ABS is substantially dropped by 86% as compared to 100wt% of virgin ABS.

Artificial stone is composite of unsaturated polyester and calcium carbonate that is mostly synthesized. This study aimed to investigate the effect of additives on shrinkage property of Unsaturated Polyester (UP) and mechanical properties of artificial stone such as flexural strength, impact strength, and hardness. In this paper, we tested effect of additives such as anhydride maleic (AM), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) with varying concentrations from 1 – 10 phr under condition process includes 2 phr BPO, 1100C cured temperature and 20 mins cured time

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of fiber content and then silane treatment on the mechanical performance of the natural fiber composites of recycled acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) provided by the automotive sector. Wood and palmyra fibers were used as fillers in 10% and 20% fiber content composites. The fibers were treated with N-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane to improve the interfacial adhesion between fibers and polymer matrices. The mechanical properties of the composites were determined by tensile and impact tests. Morphological analysis was later performed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). According to the experiment results, the tensile and impact strength of both wood and palmyra fibers increase after silane treatment. However, for the low-wood-fiber-content composite, the tensile and impact strength decrease after silane treatment due to the presence of an excess amount of silane relative to fiber content. The addition of wood and palmyra fibers significantly improved the tensile modulus of composite material and further increases slightly after silane treatment. Finally, SEM analysis shows a homogenous mix of fibers and polymer matrices with fewer voids after silane treatment, thereby improving interfacial adhesion.
