This paper presents the study on the effects of benzyl urea (BU) on the mechanical, morphological, and water absorption properties of recycled high density polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl acetate/ eggshell (rHDPE/EVA/ESP) composites. The results indicated significant improvement in the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of the compatibilized composites due to better interfacial adhesion between the rHDPE and EVA. The water resistance properties were increased by the addition of the BU to the rHDPE/EVA/ESP composites. This study may suggest that BU can act as compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial interaction between the rHDPE and EVA matrix in the rHDPE/EVA/ESP composites.

The difference in polarity of recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) blends leads to poor mechanical properties (Atul Rajan, 2013). Present works aim at finding the effects of maleic anhydride on the mechanical, morphological, and water resistance properties of rHDPE/EVA/ESP blends. It is shown that there is a significant improvement on tensile strength, interfacial adhesion between components, and water absorption resistance of adding maleic anhydride (MA) to rHDPE/EVA/ESP blends. This study may suggest that the MA can act as compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial interaction between the rHDPE and EVA matrix in the rHDPE/EVA/ESP composites.

This paper describes tensile properties, and morphology analysis of different composition of RHDPE and EVA blends were studied. The main goals are to describe the effect of Caprolactam as compatibilizer used to improve the compatibility between RHDPE and EVA. The RHDPE/EVA blends were prepared at 160°C and the rotor speed of 50rpm in an internal mixer. The tensile strength for RHDPE/EVA blends increased, while adding Caprolactam by 6phr in the blend formulation significantly improved the tensile properties. The SEM micrograph show a better interfacial adhesion between RHDPE and EVA phases for RHDEP/EVA/Caprolactam blends than RHDPE/EVA blends.

The effect of polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride as a compatibilizer on the tensile properties, and swelling behavior of recycled high density polyethylene/ethylene vinyl acetate/ waste tyre dust (r-HDPE/EVA/WTD) composites was studied. r-HDPE/EVA/WTD composites with different tyre dust loading and the addition of polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PEgMAH) were prepared with Brabender Plasticorder at temperature of 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The result indicated that r-HDPE/EVA/WTD/PEgMAH composites exhibit higher tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and mass swell resistance than r-HDPE/EVA/WTD composites.
