Abstract

It is difficult and costly to disassemble impurities in plastic materials during recycling. Foreign materials such as oil, dirt, metal particles and paint are mixed into a thin layer of plastic when using plastic products. The use of recyclable materials in many applications is believed to have a greater impact on the product. During the re-melting of the plastic material on the injection machine, the oil and dirt are separated by the effect of temperature. Copper, especially in the electronics and automotive industry, is the most common material for plastic materials. In this study, the effect of copper particles %1, 3%, 5%, 7% and mixed recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) on the physical properties of plastic material was investigated. The properties of ABS which is used for the first time with copper particulate recycled ABS material are investigated for strain, impact, flow index properties, thermal and electrical conductivity. As a result, it has been observed that the effect of physical and moldability properties of the mixture of copper particles up to 3% is within acceptable limits.

Geri Dönüşümlü Akrilonitril Bütadiyen Stiren (ABS) Plastik Malzemesinin Kalıplama Parametrelerine Etkisi

Abstract

Geri dönüşüm esnasında plastik malzemelere karışan yabancı maddeleri ayrıştırmak zor ve maliyetli bir iştir. Yağ, kir, metal partikülleri ve boya gibi yabancı maddeler plastik ürünler kullanılırken ince bir tabaka halinde plastik malzemeye karışırlar. Birçok uygulamada geri dönüşümlü malzeme kullanımının ürün üzerinde etkisinin fazla olduğuna inanılır. Plastik malzemenin enjeksiyon makinasında tekrar eritilerek basılması esnasında yağ ve kir sıcaklığın etkisi ile ayrışırlar. Bakır, özellikle elektronik ve otomotiv sektöründe plastik malzemelere en yaygın karışım yapan malzemedir. Bu çalışmada, bakır partikülleri %1, %3, %5, %7 oranlarında karıştırılmış geri dönüşümlü Akrilonitril Bütadiyen Stiren (ABS) plastik malzemesinin fiziksel özelliklerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bakır partüküllü geri dönüşümlü ABS malzemesi ile ilk kez kullanılan ABS malzemesinin gerinim, darbe, akış indeks, termal ve elektrik iletkenliği özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak %3 oranına kadar bakır partikülü karışımlı malzemenin fiziksel ve kalıplanabilirlik özelliklerine etkisinin kabul edilebilir sınırlar içerisinde olduğu görülmüştür.
