Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Recycled PET and its blends Parthasarathy Pattabiraman, Dr. Igor Sbarski, Prof Tom Spurling, IRIS, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia Adj. Prof Edward Kosior, Visy Industries, Melbourne, Australia Abstract PET is known to be a hygroscopic This paper discusses the Thermal and thermplastic material absorbing Mechanical Properties of virgin PET moisture easily. Thus optimum drying , Recycled PET and their blends. condition is very crucial prior to Differential scanning calorimetry processing. Moisture content in (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis polymer promotes degradation while (TGA) were used to study the Thermal processing leading to a breakdown of Properties . The tensile tests at ambient molecular weight which in turn affects and elevated temperature were used to final product Properties . study the Mechanical Properties . There were significant differences in the Experimental recrystallization behaviour as far as the Materials: Thermal Properties were concerned.
