Abstract:
Recycling waste plastics will support the preservation of natural resources and energy consumption. New challenges arise for the development of products that take advantage of solid waste. Upgrading recycled plastics using nanotechnology can tailor and consequently improve plastic properties for industrial applications. This research aims to process and relate the morphology and thermo-mechanical properties of recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) clay nanocomposites. Blends of rHDPE (75 wt %) coming from packaging and rPET (25 wt %) from bottles were mixed with two organoclays (Cloisite 20A and Cloisite 30B) (3 wt %) and a compatibilizer agent based on ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate (EGMA) (5 wt %). The recycled plastics nanocomposites were processed using a single-screw extruder incorporating a dispersive and distributive mixer and an injection molding machine. Several techniques were used to characterize the dispersion, morphology, mechanical properties and compatibilization of these composite blends. The reinforcing effect of rPET in the continuous rHDPE phase depended on the organoclay type and the compatibilizer additive. Both organoclays increased the stiffness and strength of rHDPE and rPET as evidenced by an increase in the corresponding Young modulus and ultimate tensile strength. EGMA increased the compatibility in the recycle plastics blend and in the clays nanocomposites as evidenced in elongation and energy at break results. On the other side, Cloisite 20A showed to be more compatible with EGMA than Cloisite 30B in these rHDPE/rPET blends based on the thermo-mechanical properties results.

Abstract:
Although polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a champion of recycling, intense research is being done to find new solutions for using recycled plastic. This study aims to characterize the mechanical andstructural properties (SEM- scanning electron microscopy) of products made from recycled metal swarf or mesh wire with recycled plastic (PET) in comparison with virgin plastic. Samples manufactured from virgin and recycled PET are made by pressing and high temperature. The loss of mechanical properties ofproducts made from recycled plastic is a major drawback that influences their use. SEM images confirm that the dispersion and distribution of the PET phase is not very uniform. By addition of virgin plastic in various compositions with recycled plastic, processing parameters and mechanical properties can be optimized.

Abstract:
Concretes consisting of portland cement (OPC), silica sand, gravel, water, and recycled PET particles were developed. Specimens without PET particles were prepared for comparison. Curing times, PET particle sizes, and aggregate concentrations were varied. The compressive strength, compressive strain at yield point, and Young modulus were determined. Morphological and chemical compositions of recycled PET particles were seen in a scanning electron microscopy. Results show that smaller PET particle sizes in lower concentrations generate improvements on compressive strength and strain, and Young’s modulus decreases when the size of PET particles used was increased.

Abstract:
Responding to the resource waste and environmental damage, the recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fibers were successfully obtained from waste PET textiles using a PFI mill. The high density polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites reinforced with recycled PET fibers were manufactured by melting blend. The mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by mechanical property test. The thermal stability and crystallinity were analyzed by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and their microstructures were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties of the composites indicated the significant improvements in tensile, flexural and impact properties by increasing the recycled PET fibers to 20wt%. The morphological and structural results showed that the recycled PET fibers dispersed well in HDPE matrix with the help of PE-g-MAH as a compatibilizer. The thermal analysis revealed that the degree of crystallinity and crystallizing rate tended to increase, while the thermal stability remained stable. In addition, using PFI mill in dealing with the waste textiles will help open new ways for recycling of waste textiles.

Abstract:
Bottle-recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET) fibers were fabricated by the melt spinning method. Based on characteristics of R-PET chips, this study involved a primary exploration of the spinning parameters, including spinning temperature, spinning speed and spinneret plate. The properties of R-PET and original PET (O-PET) fibers were compared using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile testing, sonic orientation, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Apparent morphological observation displays an irregular cross-sectional shape and a scattered diameter distribution for R-PET fibers. Compared with O-PET fibers, R-PET fibers demonstrate a greater breaking strength and smaller elongation at break, resulting from the lower crystallinity and higher degree of orientation. Furthermore, the R-PET fibers have the same chemical structure as that of O-PET fibers demonstrated by FTIR spectroscopy, but TGA results show that thermal stability of R-PET fibers is significantly inferior to that of O-PET fibers, as a result of too many impurities and oligomers during the recycling process.

Abstract:
In this study, velour design molded automotive carpets made of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers were developed via needle-punching process to improve their abrasion resistance properties. Initially, virgin PET fibers and recycled PET (rPET) fibers derived from PET bottle wastes were supplied from different producers and they were tested in terms of their fiber properties such as fiber length, crimp, tensile strength, elongation, tenacity, and intrinsic viscosity. It was demonstrated that recycled fibers from bottle wastes used in the study have lower tenacity and higher elongation than virgin PET fibers. In the second part, rPET fibers to be used in manufacturing in terms of their desired properties were selected. Subsequently, molded automotive carpets were produced from the selected rPET fibers and virgin PET fiber blends with adjusted manufacturing and molding parameters. Developed carpets were tested for abrasion resistance performance and they were evaluated according to requested specification. Results showed that carpets made of 85% rPET + 15% bicomponent PET had almost equal performance in terms of both fiber loss and carpet appearances with carpets consisting of 80% PET + 20% bicomponent PET. Carpets made of recycled PET fibers offer the manufacturer low raw material costs in addition to ecological advantages.

Abstract:
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is the most common 3D printing technology. An object formed through continuous layering until completion is known as an additive process while other processes with different methods are also relevant. In this paper, mechanical properties were analysed using two distinct kinds of printed polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as tensile test specimens. The materials used consist of recycled PET and virgin PET. An assessment of all the forty test pieces of both kinds of PET was undertaken. A comparison of the test samples’ tensile strength values, difference in stress-strain curves, and elongation at break was also carried out. The reasoning behind the fracturing of test pieces that printed with different settings is presented in part by the depiction of the fractured specimens following the tensile test. An optimal route was revealed to be 3D printing with recycled PET, as per the mechanical testing. The hardness of the recycled filament decreased to 6%, while the tensile strength and shear strength increased to 14.7 and 2.8%, respectively. Nonetheless, no changes occurred to the tensile modulus elasticity. Despite notable differences being observed in the results of the recycled PET filament, no substantial differences were found prior or post-recycling in the mechanical properties of the PET filament. In conclusion, the demand for improved recycled 3D printing filament technologies is heightened due to the comparable mechanical features of the specimens of both the 3D printed recycled and virgin materials. With tensile strength figures reaching as high as 43.15MPa at Recycled PET and 3.12% being the greatest elongation at 40% Recycled PET, 100% Recycled is the ideal printing setting.

Abstract:
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is mostly used in textile and packaging industries. PET Bottle wastes are separated from other wastes and after that some processes are applied to obtain PET flakes, such as breaking, washing, drying and etc. r-PET fibers are produced by melt spinning method from these recycled PET flakes. r-PET fibers have already been used for secondary textile products like as carpet bottoms, sleeping bags and insulation materials. In this study usability of recycled PET fibers in apparel industry were researched. Comparative investigations of bursting strength, abrasion resistance, air permeability, surface friction, circular bending rigidity and dimensional stability properties were done to knitted fabrics produced from r-PET and blends with PET and cotton fibers. It was found that, instead of PET, r-PET fibers can be blended in certain amounts without compromising fabrics performance.

Abstract:
This paper presents the feasibility study of adding recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fiber obtained from drinking water bottle as admixture material in the concrete. A few numbers of tests were conducted to determine the physical and mechanical properties of recycled PET fiber reinforced concrete such as slump test, compressive strength test and flexural strength test. The effect of incorporating the recycled PET fiber on various volume fractions of concrete by 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of weight of cement were experimentally investigated. The test specimens comprising of cubes and beams were prepared and tested at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after curing process completed. Generally, it was found that the workability of concrete reinforced recycled PET has reduced as the volume fraction of PET fiber increased. The compressive strength of concrete reinforced recycled PET has reached the highest value at volume fraction of 0.5%. However, the flexural strength of concrete was significantly increased by incorporating 1.0% of recycled PET fiber. It can be concluded that the concrete which contains 0.5% of recycled PET fiber has the highest of average percentage of relative. Hence, it can be categorized as the optimum percentage of recycled PET fiber to be utilized in concrete. It is recommended to use recycled PET fiber in concrete for the construction of structures and infrastructures as a green construction material in order to achieve clean and sustainable environment in the year future.

Abstract:
PET har under lång tid använts för flasktillverkning eftersom den är lätt, har goda barriäregenskaper och kan enkelt bearbetas industriellt. På senare tid har miljömedvetenheten ökat i samhället och därmed efterfrågan på återvunnet material, däribland PET-flaskor. Redan idag tillverkas flaskor med helt återvunnen PET.  Återvunnen PET har dock kvalitetsproblem. Därför uppstår frågan hur materialegenskaperna hos 100% återvunna PET-flaskor påverkas av upprepade återvinningscykler.  I den här rapporten undersöks hur den kemiska strukturen och egenskaperna förändras hos materialen allt eftersom fler återvinningscykler genomförs. Tre olika återvunna PET-material används för att ge ett bredare undersökningsunderlag och dessa tre material jämförs sedan sinsemellan samt med jungfrulig PET (icke-återvunnen PET) som referens.  Egenskaperna analyseras med DSC för att ge information om termiska egenskaper, ATR-FTIR utförs för att detektera nedbrytning och förändring i den kemiska strukturen, dragprovning görs för att se hur återvinningen påverkar de mekaniska egenskaperna hos materialen och slutligen analyseras även den inneboende viskositeten hos de återvunna materialen.  Examensarbetet visar på en markant minskning av inneboende viskositet med antalet återvinningscykler. Dessutom kan viss nedbrytning hos den kemiska strukturen ses via ATR-FTIR fastän inte så tydligt. Även en tendens till minskad kristallinitet med återvinning kan ses med DSC. En minskning i kristallinitet möjliggör produktion av mer transparenta flaskor, vilket ofta är eftertraktat. Emellertid får materialet försämrade barriäregenskaper. Dock krävs mer forskning för att kunna dra några slutsatser gällande materialegenskaper i industriell skala.<br>PET has been used in bottle production for a long time since it is lightweight, easily processable and has good barrier properties. In recent years, the awareness of environmental issues has increased and thereby the demand for recycled materials, including PET bottles. Already today PET bottles with 100% recycled PET are produced. However, recycled PET bottles have quality problems. Thereby, the question arises how the material properties of 100% recycled PET bottles are affected when subjected to multiple recycling loops.  In this report the changes in chemical structure and material properties of the materials are investigated as more recycling loops are performed. Three different recycled PET materials are used to give a broader base of information. These materials are compared to each other and to virgin PET (not recycled PET) as a reference.  The materials are analysed with DSC to give information about the thermal properties, ATR-FTIR to detect changes in the chemical structure, tensile testing to see how the recycling affects the mechanical properties of the material and finally the intrinsic viscosity is analysed for the recycled materials.  In this master thesis a clear decrease in intrinsic viscosity with increasing number of recycling loops can be observed. In addition, some degradation of the chemical structure can be seen through ATR-FTIR, although not very clearly. Also, a decrease in crystallinity with the number of recycling loops can be seen from DSC. A decrease in crystallinity enables production of more transparent bottles, which is often desired, although the material will have reduced barrier properties. However, more research is required to draw any conclusions regarding the material properties on an industrial scale.

Abstract:
In this study, the effects of glycol type, organoclay type and concentration on the final properties of nanocomposites based on recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) was investigated. For this purpose, first recycled PET was glycolysed and after that unsaturated polyester-montmorillonite nanocomposites were synthesized by using three different types of glycols (i.e. ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PG) and diethylene glycol (DEG)). As the first step, all the compositions were prepared by Cloisite 30B type of clay, and then for comparison of clay type, nanocomposites containing 1 wt. % of Cloisite 15A and Cloisite 25A type of clay were also synthesized. Morphological and mechanical analyses were performed for the characterization of the nanocomposites. According to the results of XRD analysis, for all glycol types maximum intercalation was observed in Cloisite 30B containing samples. Exfoliated structures were obtained in the samples containing EG at 1 wt. % Cloisite 30B content and DEG at 3 wt. % Cloisite 30B content. Mechanical tests showed that, for all properties, glycol type is the most effective experimental parameter. DEG based samples are the most flexible whereas PG based samples are the least flexible. EG and DEG based samples give maximum tensile strength and tensile modulus values at 1 wt. % clay loading. Samples prepared by DEG exhibited maxima in both flexural strength and modulus at 1 wt. % clay content. With respect to the organoclay type, Cloisite 30B containing samples gave the highest compatibility with the unsaturated polyester matrix as indicated by the tensile test results. Organoclay type and content had no positive effect on the impact strength. Clay particles acted as stress concentrators and lowered the impact strength.

Abstract:
In this study, the effects of chain extension and branching on the properties of nanocomposites produced from recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) and organically modified clay were investigated. As the chain extension/branching agent, maleic anhydride (MA) and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) were used. The nanocomposites were prepared by twin-screw extrusion, followed by injection molding. Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate), was mixed with 2, 3 and 4 weight % of organically modified montmorillonite. During the second extrusion step, 0.5, 0.75 or 1 weight % of MA or PMDA was added to the products of the first extrusion. As the second extrusion step is reactive extrusion, the anhydrides were added at three different screw speeds of 75, 150, 350 rpm, in order to observe the change of properties with the screw speed. XRD analysis showed that, the interlayer spacing of Cloisite 25A expanded from 19.21 &amp<br>#506<br>to about 28-34 &amp<br>#506<br>after processing with polymer indicating an intercalated structure. PMDA, MA and organoclay content as well as the screw speed did not have a recognizable effect on interlayer distance. In the first extrusion step, nanocomposites containing 3% organoclay content gave significant increase in Young&rsquo<br>s modulus and decrease in elongation to break values indicating good interfacial adhesion. After the addition of chain extenders, it was observed that both MA and PMDA gave rise to improved mechanical properties of the nanocomposite owing to the branching and chain extending effects that increase the molecular weight. However, PMDA gave better mechanical properties at lower content which makes it a more effective chain extender. DSC analysis showed that MA was more effective in increasing the glass transition temperature and melting temperature in comparison to PMDA.

Abstract:
Entre os materiais presentes nos resíduos sólidos domiciliares, os resíduos poliméricos pósconsumo representam cerca de 27% do volume total da coleta convencional, segundo Matos (2006), com o agravante da degradação lenta, comprometendo a vida útil dos aterros sanitários e poluindo o meio urbano. Dos resíduos poliméricos, destaca-se o Poli (tereftalato de etileno) PET. O PET é utilizado em embalagens alimentícias e, preferencialmente, no envasamento de bebidas carbonatadas e água mineral com gás. O consumo das embalagens de PET tem sido crescente, o que gera uma presença maior deste resíduo no meio ambiente. A reintegração do PET pós-consumo ao meio produtivo pode ser considerada uma ação mitigatória dos impactos ambientais causados por este resíduo, além de otimizar o ciclo de vida da resina presente na garrafa. A reintegração do PET pós-consumo já é realizada por meio da obtenção de diversos produtos diferentes ao de sua origem (garrafa), com taxas de reciclagens crescentes a cada ano. Entretanto, muitos dos produtos reciclados têm breve vida útil, em decorrência das aplicações que lhes são destinadas. Uma alternativa de vida útil longa para o reciclado de PET seria uma aplicação na construção civil, onde os componentes têm uso de longo prazo, além de ser mais uma opção para suprir o consumo elevado de recursos naturais desta indústria. Neste trabalho foi realizada uma avaliação da viabilidade de reintegração dos resíduos de PET pós-consumo ao meio produtivo, visando os potenciais de disponibilidade da matéria-prima e de propriedades intrínsecas e de desempenho tecnológico do produto reciclado para a indústria da construção civil. A estratégia metodológica da pesquisa compreendeu duas vertentes de avaliação: a gestão dos resíduos e as propriedades e desempenho tecnológico do produto reciclado. O método de avaliação da gestão dos resíduos compreendeu os procedimentos de uma pesquisa exploratória e documental, visando identificar o modelo de recuperação associado às dimensões básicas da logística reversa, assim como o potencial das cadeias de suprimento direto e reverso das garrafas de PET. O método de avaliação tecnológica foi desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa experimental, onde o produto reciclado foi obtido por reciclagem mecânica, compreendendo os processos de revalorização e transformação por injeção, e submetido a diversos ensaios para caracterização das propriedades intrínsecas e o desempenho tecnológico. Destaca-se nos resultados, em relação à avaliação da gestão de resíduos, que a logística reversa das garrafas de PET tem no fator econômico a maior motivação, e, referente à avaliação tecnológica, que os produtos reciclados apresentam perda de desempenho a partir do quarto ciclo de reciclagem, decorrente da degradação das cadeias poliméricas em função das sucessivas reciclagens. A Análise dos resultados permite concluir que existe viabilidade para a reintegração dos resíduos de PET pós-consumo ao meio produtivo da construção civil, visando à aplicação como componente construtivo, considerando as condições de reciclagem adotadas na pesquisa e o potencial de disponibilidade e propriedades de desempenho tecnológico.<br>Post-consumer polymer materials in household wastes (HW) represent approximately 27% of the total volume of conventional garbage collections, according to Matos (2006). The degradation of these wastes is extremely slow, thus compromising the useful life of sanitary landfills and polluting the urban environment. PET poly(ethylene terephthalate) stands out among these polymer wastes, since it is widely used in food packaging and especially for bottling carbonated drinks and mineral water with gas. The use of PET packaging has been increasing steadily, leading to its ever greater presence in the environment. The reintegration of post-consumer PET into production represents an alternative to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by this waste, as well as to optimize the life cycle of the resin contained in PET bottles. Post-consumer PET is already being recycled into a variety of products for purposes other than their original one (bottles) and recycling rates are increasing yearly. However, many recycled products have a very short service life due to the applications in which they are used. An alternative to lengthen the service life of recycled PET would be its application in civil construction, whose components have long-term uses. This would also represent an additional option to help meet this industrys high demand for natural resources. The present study evaluated the feasibility of reintegrating post-consumer PET into production, in view of the large potential availability of this raw material and the intrinsic properties and technological performance of the recycled product for the construction industry. The methodological strategy of this research comprised two lines of investigation: evaluation of waste management, and evaluation of the properties and technological performance of the recycled product. The evaluation of waste management comprised an exploratory and documental research to identify the product recovery model associated with the basic dimensions of reverse logistics, as well as the potential of the direct and reverse supply chains of PET bottles. The technological evaluation was based on experimental research, which involved the mechanical recycling, since the revaluation processes and transformation for injection of post-consumer PET, followed by several tests to characterize its intrinsic properties and technological performance. With regard to waste management, the results highlight the fact that the reverse logistics of PET bottles is driven mostly by economic factors. From the technological standpoint, the results indicate that recycled PET products show a loss in performance after the 4th cycle of recycling due to the degradation of their polymeric chains in response to successive recycling. An analysis of the results leads to the conclusion that it is feasible to reintegrate post-consumer PET into production, applying it as a component material for civil construction, based on the recycling conditions adopted in this research, the potential availability of post-consumer PET and its properties of technological performance.

Abstract:
Nowadays, one of the main focuses of the concrete industry is to have environmental friendly buildings to reduce the relentless rise of GHG emissions. The majority of energy and GHG emissions embodied in concrete are due to use of cement and it is responsible for more than 50% of the CO2-emission. This research has been held in the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of the of Delft and it concerns the mechanical properties of circular concrete, which is made of 100% recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste. This investigation is placed within a project about particle packing technologies and the objective of the latter is to optimize the particle size distribution of aggregates and understand the compaction of concrete made of recycled aggregates. Particle size optimization is aimed to improve the density of concrete made of regularly packed aggregates and the distribution of voids thereby improving its sustainability and strength, leading to considerable CO2 reduction. Three recipes have been designed to employ different types of aggregates. The water to cement ratio of recipes was adjusted based on the magnitude of the slump. In particular, recycled aggregates (<12mm) and natural aggregates of different sizes (<12mm and <16 mm) are used. The role of maximum aggregates size and effect of complete substitution of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates has been studied. The recipes have been casted by varying the duration of vibration in order to understand the role of vibration on the compressive strength and the distribution of air bubbles inside the concrete. Results indicate that the duration of vibration was observed to be critical depending on the type and size of aggregate. Despite direct relation of vibration and internal pores, the impact seems to be negative beyond some time. Meanwhile, the compaction and mechanical property of concrete made of recycled aggregates need more vibration compared to natural aggregates.

Among the polymeric residues, there is poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET). PET is used in food packaging, preferably in the bottling of carbonated beverages. The reintegration of post-consumer PET in half can be considered a productive action mitigation of environmental impacts caused by these wastes and it is done through the preparation of several different products at the origin, i.e. food packaging, with recycling rates increasing to each year. This work focused on the development and characterization mechanical, thermal, thermo-mechanical, dynamic mechanical thermal and morphology of the pure recycled PET and recycled PET composites with glass flakes in the weight fraction of 5%, 10% and 20% processed in a single screw extruder, using the following analytical techniques: thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile, Izod impact, Rockwell hardness, Vicat softening temperature, melt flow rate, burn rate, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of thermal analysis and mechanical properties leading to a positive evaluation, because in the thermograms the addition of glass flakes showed increasing behavior in the initial temperatures of thermal decomposition and melting crystalline, Furthermore was observed growing behavior in the mechanical performance of polymer composites, whose morphological structure was observed by SEM, verifying a good distribution of glass flakes, showing difference orientation in the center and in the surface layer of test body of composites with 10 and 20% of glass flakes. The results of DMTA Tg values of the composites obtained from the peak of tan ? showed little reductions due to poor interfacial adhesion between PET and recycled glass flakes.<br>A crescente preocupa??o com a gest?o de res?duos s?lidos, observada na ?ltima d?cada, em virtude de sua enorme quantidade e impacto ambiental, tem motivado a busca por processos de reciclagem, onde estes res?duos podem ser reprocessados de modo a gerarem novos produtos, ampliando o ciclo dos materiais e energia neles contidos. Dentre os res?duos polim?ricos, destaca-se o poli(tereftalato de etileno) (PET). O PET ? utilizado em embalagens de alimentos, preferencialmente, no envase de bebidas carbonatadas. A reintegra??o do PET p?s-consumo ao meio produtivo pode ser considerada uma a??o mitigat?ria dos impactos ambientais causados por estes res?duos e j? ? realizada por meio da obten??o de diversos produtos diferentes ao da origem, ou seja, embalagens para alimento, com taxas de reciclagem crescente a cada ano. Este trabalho focou o desenvolvimento e a caracteriza??o mec?nica, t?rmica, termo-mec?nica, termo-din?mico-mec?nica e morfol?gica do PET reciclado processado e dos comp?sitos de PET reciclado com flocos de vidro na fra??o em peso de 5%, 10% e 20% processados em uma extrusora rosca simples, utilizando as seguintes t?cnicas de an?lise: termogravimetria (TG), calorimetria explorat?ria diferencial (DSC), tra??o uniaxial, impacto Izod, dureza Rockwel, temperatura de amolecimento Vicat, ?ndice de fluidez, taxa de queima, an?lise termo-din?mico-mec?nica (DMTA) e microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV). Os resultados das an?lises t?rmicas e das propriedades mec?nicas conduziram a uma avalia??o positiva, pois nos termogramas as adi??es dos flocos de vidro mostraram comportamento crescente nas temperaturas inicial de decomposi??o t?rmica e de fus?o cristalina, al?m disso, observou-se comportamento crescente no desempenho mec?nico dos comp?sitos polim?ricos, cuja estrutura morfol?gica foi observada por MEV, verificando uma boa distribui??o dos flocos de vidro, apresentando diferen?a na orienta??o no centro e na camada superficial do corpo de prova dos comp?sitos com 10 e 20% de flocos de vidro. Nos resultados de DMTA os valores de Tg dos comp?sitos obtidos a partir do pico de tan ?, apresentaram pequenas redu??es, devido a pobre ades?o interfacial entre o PET reciclado e os flocos de vidro.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to determine which contaminants were present in washed and dried shredded poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET, flake) obtained from curbside collection and to determine whether their concentrations were above the US FDA threshold of 215 ppb. Over thirty semi-volatile contaminants were extracted from the treated flake by Soxhlet extraction using dichloromethane as a PET swelling solvent and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy for identification and quantification. Soxhlet extraction of flake ground to 0-300 �m was effectively completed by 24 h, whereas sonication reduced the extraction time to 3 h. In contrast Soxhlet extractions on flake ground to a larger particle size range (>300-425 �m and >425-700 �m) were completed within four hours, possibly due to less aggregation in the extraction thimble. In the finely ground flake (0-300 �m) the levels of most contaminants were below 215 ppb, but six were not. Dodecanoic acid was present at about 1200 ppb, 2-butoxyethanol was approximately 1000 ppb, limonene, benzophenone and methylsalicylate were above 800 ppb and 2-methylnaphthalene near 215 ppb. After analogous method development the levels of all diffusible compounds in extruded PET pellets were below the threshold of 215 ppb. The Soxhlet extraction technique was validated by comparison with total dissolution by TFA for two of the three particle size ranges obtained by grinding the PET flake (>300-425 �m and >425-700 �m) and for the unground flake. Further validation was achieved by the comparison of contaminant levels determined by total dissolution with TFA and sonication with DCM using flake ground to the 0-300 �m size range. The levels of contaminants were found to increase with decreasing particle size range, but XRD measurements of degrees of crystallinity were similar for each PET particle size range, thus showing that the differences in contaminant levels were not due to variable percentages of the amorphous material from the tops and bottoms of shredded bottles, relative to the amounts of crystalline PET from the mid-sections of the bottles. Hence it was postulated that the variations in contaminant levels were due to selective grinding of the more highly contaminated surfaces, whilst the larger particles incorporated the less contaminated interior material. The analysis of the more homogenous annealed (extruded) pellets indicated that contaminant levels between the analogous particle size ranges were equivalent. This observation validated our interpretation of the high levels of contaminants found in finely ground flake being due to selective surface grinding where high levels are expected. When analysing volatiles, static headspace analysis was performed on flake and extruded pellets due to the limitations surrounding SPME. External standardisation was used as the method of quantification and the levels of toluene, undecane and p-xylene in extruded pellets were found to be below 38 ppb and therefore within the 215 ppb FDA-set threshold for flake and pellets.

Abstract:
The objective of this project was to develop blends based upon post consumer RPET and N6, and to evaluate the suitability of these blends to form fibres for the end use in carpet fibre. In the work carried out it was found it is possible to spin RPET/N6 biconstituent fibres over a wide range of blend ratios. All the blends studied have diminished physical properties when compared to those of pure RPET and N6. The processability of these blends also deteriorated due to the large increases in normal forces which manifests in extrusion equipment as die swell that often results in melt fracture. It has been shown that the morphology of the fibre controls the degree of decay in properties and die swell at the spinnerette. The blends that are rich in one phase, with the secondary phase distributed as elongated fibrils have shown better physical performance and improved processing compared to the blends 70/30 � 30/70, which have poorer properties and increased die swell due to there co-continuous morphology. In quiescent studies, the physical properties of the blends have had little deviation from those predicted using a rule of mixtures line. In and around the 50% RPET blend, die swell was observed to be extreme and this makes fibre spinning difficult. It was found that this was caused by a loss in viscosity in the blends and a general increase in normal forces in response to applied shear. The die swell phenomenon is a rheological characteristic of the blends, which was inevitably caused by internal capillary flow of one component in the other. IR spectroscopy has shown that there is little to no in-situ compatibilisation occurring during simple melt processing. However, it was found that significant interfacial compatibilisation could be achieved through solid stating N6/RPET blends. The FTIR spectra for solid state blends in figure 4.51 has shown absorbency in the 3300 cm-1 region after all free N6 was removed. This indicates that in-situ compatibilisation has occurred between the phases in the solid stating process and it is a time dependent reaction. The Burgers and Koltunov models can be used to predict the creep behaviour of the fibre blends studied. The Burgers model provides greater accuracy for longer-term exposure to stress. From the thermal results, the solid stating process significantly affects the melting and crystallisation out of the melt and the ultimate level of crystallinity. The contribution of the copolymer in these changes appears to be small. The physical strength of the fibres made on the laboratory line was only marginally lower than those made on a factory line. The morphology of the mid-range blends is co-continuous and that of the N6 and RPET rich blends is dispersed droplet morphology. Based on the finding, a N6 rich blends and in particular the 10% RPET blend is the most suitable for further commercial development as its processing, physical performance and post spinning processing closely resemble the pure N6 currently in use. It has provided performance and consistency throughout the processing and testing we have conducted.

Abstract:
Abstract The polyethylene terephtalate (PET) is a polymer with a high melting (265°C) and glass transition (67°C) temperatures, insensitive to moisture and common solvents. Also it has an wide range of mechanical properties attainable by variations of molecular weight, orientation and crystallinity. Due to these characteristics allied with the glass-like transparency, light weight and unbreakable character, PET is used to form high performance bottles for carbonated soft drinks, wines, beers and food packing. The world annual consumption of PET for these purposes is increasing, with impressive prospects for the future. This characteristic leads to other situation. The consumption of energy and natural resources together with the environmental problems caused by disposable plastics, make the engineering and materials scientists try to find for different ways to recycled plastics. The characteristics of PET mentioned above seen to be very proper to use as a material for coating.

Abstract:
Plastic pollution has become one of the major concerns in the world. Plastic waste is not biodegradable, which makes it difficult to manage waste plastic pollution. Recycling and reusing waste plastic is an effective way to manage plastic pollution. Because of the huge quantity of waste plastic released into the world, industries requiring a large amount of material, like the pavement industry, can reuse some of this mammoth volume of waste plastics. Similarly, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has also become common practice to ensure sustainability. The use of recycled waste plastics and RAP in HMA mix can save material costs and conserve many pavement industries’ resources. To successfully modify HMA with RAP and waste plastic, the modified HMA should exhibit similar or better performance compared to conventional HMA. In this study, recycled waste plastic, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and RAP were added to conventional HMA, separately and together. The mechanical properties of conventional and modified HMA were examined and compared. The fatigue cracking resistance was measured with the IDEAL Cracking (IDEAL CT) test, and the Hamburg Wheel Tracking (HWT) test was conducted to investigate the rutting resistance of compacted HMA samples. The IDEAL CT test results showed that the cracking resistance was similar across plastic modified HMA and conventional HMA containing virgin aggregates. However, when 20% RAP aggregates were used in the HMA mix, the fatigue cracking resistance was found to be significantly lower in plastic modified HMA compared to conventional HMA. The rutting resistance from the HWT test at 20,000 passes was found to be similar in all conventional and modified HMA.
