Influence of Mixing Recycled Polycarbonate to Charpy Impact Properties at Increased Temperature

This article deals with influence of amount of mixing recycled material with virgin polycarbonate to impact properties. The aim is to perform an experiment in which the products of the studied polymer will be grinded to recycled material and then reprocessed into new specimens. These are then subjected to Charpy impact properties at increased temperatures. Several mixtures differing in the content of recycled material in virgin polycarbonate were prepared. One mixture was from pure recycled polycarbonate. The most used technology made testing samples for production of plastic products, which is injection moulding. Testing was conducted at increased temperatures 60 °C. This temperature was choose because many products are used at this temperatures. The impact of added recycled material to virgin polypropylene not significant for all impact properties
