TLDR
In this paper, a model composition of virgin LDPE/PP blend was prepared to study the effect of process parameters and that of different types of compatibilizers, such as ethylene-propylene-diene monomer, ethylene−propylene monomer or PE-g-(2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) graft copolymer.About:

Performance indicators for a circular economy: A case study on post-industrial plastic waste
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an indicator to quantify the circular economy performance of different plastic waste treatment options, based on the technical quality of the plastic waste stream and evaluates resource consumption by using the Cumulative Exergy Extraction from the Natural Environment (CEENE) method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality Concepts for the Improved Use of Recycled Polymeric Materials: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, a dual experimental approach employing multiple processing and thermooxidation is proposed to model the life cycle of recycled high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) used in packaging applications, and in electrical and electronic equipment (EE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of recycled plastics in wood plastic composites - a review.
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed review about some essential properties of waste and recycled plastics, important for wood plastic composites production, and of research published on the effect of recycled plastics on the physical and mechanical properties of WPCs is presented.

Mechanical recycling: Compatibilization of mixed thermoplastic wastes
Joachim Maris,Sylvie Bourdon,Jean-Michel Brossard,Laurent Cauret,Laurent Fontaine,Véronique Montembault +5 more
TL;DR: A review of the strategies that have been used for compatibilization of blends of mixed thermoplastic waste can be found in this paper, where the authors introduce the concept of mechanical recycling.

Grafting effects of polypropylene/polyethylene blends with maleic anhydride on the properties of the resulting wood–plastic composites
TL;DR: In this paper, polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (PE) were blended at the ratios of 80/20 and 20/80 to simulate recycled waste thermoplastic mixtures.

Mechanical compatibilization of immiscible blends
Joel W. Barlow,Donald R Paul +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanical properties of a variety of immiscible binary blends, with and without third component polymeric compatibilizers, are reviewed and qualitatively related to the degree of adhesion between blend components as determined by lap shear testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress–strain behavior of polyolefin blends
R. E. Robertson,Donald R Paul +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the yield tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus of melt blends of low-density polyethylene, high density polyethylenes, and polypropylene have been studied over the entire ternary composition range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and properties of polyethylene–polypropylene blend
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and mechanical properties of blends of low-density polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene were studied, and they behaved like a simple composite obeying the rule of mixture for the modulus dependence on composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of polypropylene‐low density polyethylene blends
TL;DR: In this article, a simple adhesion analysis is presented which explains well the weakness at the weld line expected for incompatible blends, adding an ethylene-propylene polymer with residual ethylene crystallinity was found to be a more effective "compatibilizer" for blends deficient in toughness than a related copolymer with less crystallinity.

TL;DR: An imaging spectrometer with a 256 element InGaAs diode array was combined with a high throughput optical arrangement for recording high quality NIR spectra (824 nm to 1700 nm) of plastics from a distance of 25 cm within 6.3 milliseconds as mentioned in this paper.
