Abstract

This paper deals with the study of properties for recycling tires toughening thermoplastic polymer. Large amounts of waste that arise daily as a result of scientific and technological progress with increasing humane consumer goods. This gave rise to the problem of the accumulation of the waste and its effect on the environment. So many researchers work to use this waste in useful products, and thus can achieve economic and environmental goals. The objectives of this study are to incorporate ground tire rubber (GTR) waste scrap into a thermoplastic matrix, recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) to improve the weakness of the mechanical properties due to the lack of compatibility between two polymers, a surface treatment was achieved by recycled polystyrene solution to increase the bonding between rHDPE and GTR and the properties of the blend were determined and compared. Several tests were conducted to determine the specifications of the resulting mixture with addition different ratios of GTR, such as tensile strength, bending strength, hardness, density, optical microscope examination and scanning electron microscope. The results show that the results showed improvement in tensile strength, bending strength and hardness, on the other hand, a decrease in elongation comparing with untreated samples.
