Impact test analysis on pure and recycled HDPE materials

Nowadays High Density Polyethylene (HOPE) plastic have been widely used in many industries. Lower cost of the raw material and increased in environmental awareness are defined as the key factor in the use of HOPE plastic in the industries. Characteristic of HDPE plastic them self, such as lightweigh...
