The aim of this work within the framework of mechanical recycling of polymers is upgrading recycled engineering plastics by means of a blending technique. Four different plastics from dismantled Volvo cars have been investigated. They are poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) and ABS-polycarbo

β¦ Synopsis
Polycarbonate is a very broadly used material across various industries; however, in order to improve its processability, it is generally blended with acrylonitrileΒ±butadieneΒ±styrene copolymer (ABS). As presented here, the proportion of ABS used is a highly important parameter, since it can affect the useful properties of polycarbonate such as heat resistance and toughness (the Figure shows the variation of toughness (Izod impact) with amount ABS used).

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) binary and ABS/PMMA/polycarbonate (PC) ternary blends were prepared using a corotating twin-screw extruder. Blend samples were annealed in a constant-temperature (215 and 225ΠC) hydraulic press up to 85 min. The change
