AbstractPolymer systems based on polymer waste offer promising way to increase recycling in the society. Since fillers play a major role in determining the properties and behavior of polymer composites, recycled polymers can also be combined with fillers to enhance the stiffness and thermal stability. In this study, blends of recycled polyethylene and recycled polypropylene with mica and glass fiber were prepared by melt blending technique. The effect of the particle loading, filler type, and filler-matrix interaction on thermal degradation and thermal transition of processed systems were investigated. Thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry were used in this investigation. Comparative analysis shows that both fillers produced different effects on thermal properties of the processed systems. These results were confirmed by calculating the activation energy for thermal degradation and thermal transition using Kissinger and Flynn-Wall expressions. © 2013 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
