An analysis of interfacial adhesion in nanocomposites from recycled polymers

The present paper studies the quantitative analysis of interfacial adhesion in the nanocomposites containing recycled polymers. The interfacial bonding is evaluated using different models for tensile properties of composites. A good agreement is found between the experimental results of mechanical properties and the theoretical predictions which validate the current analysis. arameters such as (a) in Nicolais–Narkis, (a) in Kunori–Geil, (B) in Pukanszky model and interfacial strength (t) show the perfect interfacial adhesion. Moreover, the obtained values of (B) and (t) are compared with other studies. The current study justifies the recycling of polymers through the incorporation of nanofillers.
