Study on properties of recycled mixed polyester/nylon/spandex modified by hydrogenated petroleum resin

Abstract

In order to improve the utilization value of recycled materials, the study considers recycled materials such as polyester/nylon/spandex as raw materials. Using polyester/polyamide/spandex as raw materials, the recycled polyester/polyamide/spandex mixed materials were first pretreated to obtain the pretreated mixed materials. Then, the pretreated mixed materials were evenly mixed with hydrogenated petroleum resin. The composite materials were prepared through extrusion and injection molding. By comparing the mechanical properties, the effects of different hydrogenated petroleum resins and their additives on the tensile strength, bending strength, impact strength, elongation at break, and bending modulus of the composites were investigated. And the microstructure of the fracture surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that: (a) when the addition amount of hydrogenated C5 petroleum resin was 4.5%, the maximum impact strength and fracture elongation were 18.03 kJ/m2 and 15.92%, respectively. (b) The maximum tensile strength, bending strength, and bending modulus could reach 22.9, 38.72, and 2217.9 MPa, when the addition amount of hydrogenated C9 petroleum resin was 4.5, 29.5, and 39.5%, respectively.
