The effect of funcionalized ethylene-n-octene copolymer on mechanical properties of bioPET with organic waste fillers

Abstract

The effect of compatibilizer - ethylene-n-octene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride
(EOC-g-MAH) used in the amount of 3 wt% on tensile and flexural properties and impact strength
of bioPET with the addition of 10 wt% filler derived from organic waste (egg and mollusc shells, coffee
grounds) was investigated. EOC-g-MAH slightly decreased tensile strength, flexural strength, and
modulus of elasticity, while significantly increasing impact strength (up to 426%). Moreover, ability of
bioPET-based composites to dissipate mechanical energy was improved.
