## Abstract Repetitive processing was employed to assess the recyclability of in situ microfibrillar poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) blends which were fabricated through a “rectangular slit die extrusion–hot stretching–quenching” process. For comparison, the conv
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polypropylene (PET/PP) were compounded and pelletized with a single-screw extruder. Standard ASTM tensile test specimens were made by injection moulding. The blends are stronger and sti †er than the plain PP specimens. The addition of a compatibilizer, EPOLENE E-43,
## Abstract Summary: An in‐situ microfibrillar blend based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyethylene (PE) was fabricated through slit die extrusion, hot‐stretching and quenching. The morphology of the PET in‐situ microfibers, which were observed after the matrix was etched away, appear
