Abstract

In this study, the compound materials of GRT/plastics (HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, PP and PS) were developed. Their tensile strength, strain at yield and flexural modulus according to the change in CRT content were measured. And, the physical properties of the compound materials that the GRT content was changed in the waste vinyl HDPE and pure HDPE were measured, compared and analyzed. If tile GRT is added to PE plastics, the physical properties were superior to those of PP and PS, and in the case of HDPE, the waste vinyl HDPE had superior physical properties by the GRT content to the pure HDPE.
