Moving to a more sustainable and healthy future, the world has decided to invest on researches to make good use of waste vegetable oil rather than letting them clog the drains and hence, polluting the environment. One of the useful projects which uses these waste cooking oil is to synthesize polyols. Solidifying the polyols using cross linker produces a Sustainable Polymer (SP). These SP are compounded with the High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) by melt-mixing using injection molding machine. Injection molding is capable of producing many useful products. Therefore, aiming to analyse the processing conditions of injection molding, the corresponding mechanical properties of the compounds produced were examined. The results indicated that increasing the SP content will increase the toughness of the compound if compared to neat HDPE. It was concluded that the processing temperature and composition of SP will both influence the quality and mechanical behavior of the injected polymer compounds. |
