Abstract
The effect of compatibilizer - ethylene-n-octene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride(EOC-g-MAH) used in the amount of 3 wt% on tensile and flexural properties and impact strengthof bioPET with the addition of 10 wt% filler derived from organic waste (egg and mollusc shells, coffeegrounds) was investigated. EOC-g-MAH slightly decreased tensile strength, flexural strength, andmodulus of elasticity, while significantly increasing impact strength (up to 426%). Moreover, ability ofbioPET-based composites to dissipate mechanical energy was improved.
