Abstract

The effect of caprolactam as a compatibilizer on the tensile properties and thermal degradation of recycled high density polyethylene/ethylene vinyl acetate/tyre dust (r-HDPE/EVA/TD) composites was studied. r-HDPE/EVA/TD composites and r-HDPE/EVA/TD/CL composites with different tyre dust loadings were prepared using Brabender Plasticorder at the temperature of 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The results indicated that r-HDPE/EVA/TD composites with caprolactam showed higher tensile strength and modulus of elasticity than r-HDPE/EVA/TD composites. The rHDPE/EVA/TD/CL composites exhibited good thermal stability compared to r-HDPE/EVA/TD composites as evidenced from the thermogravimetric analysis.
