• equipment (WEEE)

The characteristics of engineering plastics used in the preparation of electrical and electronic equipment were studied More specifically. their thermal response was recorded by DSC experiments, the rheological properties were investigated via MFI tests and the mechanical properties were evaluated with tensile tests The aim was to establish a procedure for recycling the same engineering plastics deriving from waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), which offers the additional advantage of using the as-received waste stream as a recyclable mixture, i e without sorting and classification of its components
The experimental results showed that blends of PC with ABS or ABS/HIPS can be prepared by direct mixing and this, would allow easy handling of the engineering plastics coming from WEEE, i e blending without the need of sorting These mixtures can be easily processed and display acceptable mechanical properties with reasonable cost Therefore, the processing characteristics and properties of the s
