Abstract

In this study, the properties of virgin linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and its blends with reclaimed plastic solid waste (PSW) are investigated by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PSW constituted pol...
