Abstract

The infusible and insoluble nature upon curing of thermosetting resins renders their recycling very difficult. For molded thermoset scrap, regrinding and then mixing into virgin thermosetting resins as inert fillers has been suggested as a viable route for their reuse. It is determined that the incorporated thermoset regrind adversely affects the processibility behavior and tensile, flexure and unnotched impact properties, suggesting that proper modifications in operating conditions be made during processing and the applications be chosen selectively, when regrind thermoset is incorporated.
