Behavior of Recycled Material at Higher Temperature in Compression Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research paper deals with behavior of recycled material at higher temperature. Assessment of recycled material influence takes place on four kinds of thermoplastic materials, which are always high-heat polycarbonate (PC-HT) with different amount of recycled material (pure polycarbonate, polycarbonate with twenty percent of recycled material, polycarbonate with thirty percent of recycled material and hundred percent of recycled polycarbonate). Specimens were prepared by the mostly used technology for production products, which is injection molding. Each kind of material is one by one loaded by high temperature 110°C and consequently tested. This temperature was chosen because we encounter products made with recycled material additive, which can be used at elevated temperatures. To determine behavior of recycled material at this high temperature, one basic mechanic material tests is used. This test is normalized compression test.
