摘要
Polypropylene (PP) was injection moulded several times to mimic the effect of recycling procedures. The influence of the recycling was studied by following changes in chemical structure, melt viscosity, crystallisation behaviour, and tensile and fracture properties. The main effect of recycling is the lowering of the melt viscosity, which is attributed to molecular weight decrease. Recycled PP exhibits greater crystallisation rate, higher crystallinity and equilibrium melting temperature than those measured for virgin PP. Elastic modulus and yield stress increase with the number of recycling steps. However, elongation at break and fracture toughness decrease. (C) 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
