Abstract

Thermal analysis-based preparation of blends of selected polymer wastes with pyrolysis oil was studied and results are presented. Selected thermomechanical methods were evaluated as regards the determination of property data of the resulting products. When pyrolysis oil was used in amounts ≥5mass%, homogeneous blends could be prepared with PE and PET wastes; the blends were found to be processible by compression molding or injection molding. Blends prepared from waste PVC and pyrolysis oil were brittle and hard. The following properties could be determinated for the thermal products: ring-and-ball softening point, Vicat softening point, melt flow index, and impact strength.
