Abstract

The studies on wollastonite reinforced recycled ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) composites were investigated. Powder-based wollastonite with a particle size of 13 microns was mixed with recycled Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene in various proportions of wt.%. Recycled ABS was homogeneously mixed and composite was prepared using a twin-screw extruder and it was pelletized. specimens were prepared using the injection moulding process and mechanical properties like tensile strength as per ASTM D638 was carried out and the results were compared with the properties of recycled ABS. It was found that the recycled ABS with 10%,20%,30%,40% of wollastonite improved the tensile modulus and as well as fall in tensile strength and elongation at break. Key Words: calcium silicate, recycled ABS, Wollastonite, composites, injection moulding, plastic waste management.
