Abstract
AbstractA novel polymer processing technique known as elastic strain pulverization (ESP) involves the simultaneous effects of high pressure and shear deformation to pulverize polymers. Homopolymers and blends of commercially important postconsumer plastics, including high‐density and low‐density polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE), polypropylene (PP), and poly styrene (PS) are studied by several characterization techniques to determine the effects of ESP on the microstructure. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy confirms that free radicals are generated by the mechanical rupture of main chain carbon bonds during pulverization by ESP. The possibility of these free radicals terminating by heterogeneous combination to form compatibilizing block or graft copolymers in coprocessed polymer blends establishes the potential of ESP in commingled plastics recycling. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy of homopolymers and blends indicate that crystalline structure is drastically altered by ESP processing. Spherulite size reduction is also observed in both crystalline/crystalline and crystalline/amorphous blends after ESP. These results are consistent with homogenization that may be due to the formation of compatibilizing copolymers by heterogeneous macroradical combination. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
