BASIC STUDIES ON RECYCLING OF ABS RESIN

With recent development of the petrochemical industry, plastic product s have made our society more convenient. However, the disposal of thes e convenience products has become a serious threat to the environment. Therefore, research on recycling plastic wastes is necessary now more than ever. This paper is a basic study of recycling technology for AB S (acrylonitile-butadienestyrene) resin. We tried to show the changes in its mechanical, thermal, theological, and optical properties during the recycling process.
