Abstract
Blending of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (RPET) and polycarbonate (PC) was performed by melt compounding. The blends were subsequently fabricated to dumbbell specimens by vented injection molding. The mechanical properties, thermal characteristic and morphology of RPET/PC blends were investigated as a function of PC contents. Vented injection molding presented an advantage for superior mechanical properties of RPET/PC blends. The addition of PC enhanced impact strength and fracture toughness with remaining tensile properties. The glass transition temperatures of PET and PC shifted toward each other, which indicated their partial miscibility of RPET and PC in the blends. The toughness mechanism of RPET and PC was related to core-shell structure and good interfacial adhesion at higher contents of PC.
