Abstract

In this paper, the impact of recycling and remanufacturing on the behavior of low-density polyethylene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (LDPE/MWCNT) composites is investigated. LDPE/MWCNT composites with 0.1–5 wt%, previously manufactured by injection molding, were mechanically recycled and remanufactured by injection molding and 3D filament extrusion, and the rheological, electrical, and mechanical properties were analyzed and compared with those of virgin composites under the same conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that the recycled LDPE/MWCNT composites have similar rheological, electrical, and mechanical properties as that of virgin composites, if not better. Therefore, the recycled LDPE/MWCNT composites have a great potential for being used in engineering applications, while reducing the environmental impact.
