| dc.description.abstract | Polymers affect every day of our life. These materials have so many varied characteristics and applications that their usefulness can only be measured by our imagination. Polymers have been with us since the beginning of time, they are the materials of past, present, and future generations. This wide spread of polymers in our life leads to the existence of huge amounts of them as a waste specially Polyethylene Terephtalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE) which considered as the most widely consumed types of polymer in world plastics with production in the billions of pounds each year. Utilization of this waste has become very important problem and must be solved safely, environmentally and economically ,this can be obtained by recycling which represents a valid alternative to the disposal of post consumer PET and PE . As known every polymer has very distinct characteristics and they different in some properties and application this can applied on both PE and PET; for example PET is brittle , semi crystalline and has high modulus …etc , while PE is ductile and low modules . As known there are a big gap in properties both PE and PET and there are more than one type of PE , high density polyethylene (HDPE) will be the coordinate polymer for this purpose . The issue of this project is producing a new product as composite material from recycled polyethylene (PE) and recycled polyethylene terephalate (PET) blend with unique properties by different methods as extrusion and hot process with different forms of PET (powder ,fiber, flake’s ) with different temperatures and percentages leading to strengthening PE with PET . Mechanical properties such as modulus and Tensile strength were tested for the new composite. The best combination is powder 15% at 200C (Ts =24.075MPa , E=648.93MPa) , powder 10% at 180C (Ts =29.31MPa , E=854.33 MPa) . Where version HDPE has mechanical properties of (Ts = 15.58 MPa) & ( E=396.37 MPa) and version PET has mechanical properties of (Ts=51.98 MPa) & (E=901.09 MPa). | en_US |
