Selection of modifiers for recycled ABS plastic from waste electronic and electrical equipment

Recycling of waste polymer materials, improving their characteristics during recycling – these issues are more relevant than ever. The change in the viscosity characteristics of ABS plastic as a result of several extrusion cycles, as well as the effect of reprocessing on the technological thermal stability of the polymer material have been studied. It was found that ABS plastic obtained from waste electronic and electrical equipment contains polyolefin components. Using a model system based on ABS plastic, the study examines the effect of modifiers on its main characteristics, taking into account the presence of a polyolefin component. The ways of effective modification of recycled polymer materials to improve their technological and strength characteristics are shown.
