Abstract

Thermal and physical properties of plastic film were studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. It is found that recycled plastic film possesses slightly different thermal and physical properties from non - recycled one. Melting point and heat capacity of recycled plastic film are lower than non - recycled one. When applied static stress 5.00 x 105 Pa and dynamic stress 4.55 x 105 Pa at frequency 1.0 Hz, recycled plastic film reveals lower modulus and higher strain. The elasticity of plastic film is decreased when temperature is increased.
