Development of compositions from waste of polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate and research of their technological and thermal properties

The article presents the results of determining the melting point and the melt flow rate, Vicat heat resistance of a composition made of polypropylene waste from the study of polyethylene terephthalate. It has been established that with an increase in the content of polyethylene terephthalate, the melting point and heat resistance according to Vicat increase, and the melt flow rate of the compositions decreases. The Hildebrand solubility parameters and the packing density of macromolecules are calculated using the increment method. The thermal characteristics of the compositions were investigated by the derivatography method. Their decomposition onset temperature, decomposition rate, and the amount of energy consumed for the decomposition of polymers and polymer compositions were determined. It was revealed that the compositions of polyethylene terephthalate with secondary polypropylene are more thermostable than compositions of polyethylene terephthalate with primary polypropylene.
