Abstract

This research paper deals with utilization of recycled irradiated high-density polyethylene (HDPEx). Grit prepared of irradiated HDPEx was used as a filler into virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Concentrations from 10 to 60 % were made and their influence on mechanical properties was investigated. Tensile test at ambient and elevated temperature was used to describe mechanical properties of resulting blends. Results show that there is an upward trend of elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength and downward trend of nominal strain at ambient temperature. Similar findings were observed at elevated temperature, which might suggest possible utilization of such modified thermoplastic materials. However other material properties have to be tested to make final conclusion.
