Simultaneous Modification of Properties Relevant to the Processing and Application of Virgin and Post-Consumer Polypropylene.

ABSTRACT: Post-consumer recyclates often have a property profile that results from mixing a variety of products, which are made from different materials, produced by different processing methods, and coming from applications with different lifetimes. This usually leads to a mixture of all these material properties in the recycling process. In contrast, virgin materials are specifically designed for applications and thus offer all the necessary properties for the intended products. In order to be able to use recycled materials for specific and demanding applications, not only the viscosity, which is important for processing and often varies greatly with recyclates, but also the mechanical properties, particularly the tensile modulus and impact strength, must be adjusted. For this purpose, various vir
