TI  - Radiation-Induced Grafting with One-Step Process of Waste Polyurethane onto 
      High-Density Polyethylene.

AB  - The recycling of waste polyurethane (PU) using radiation-induced grafting was 
      investigated. The grafting of waste PU onto a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 
      matrix was carried out using a radiation technique with maleic anhydride (MAH). 
      HDPE pellets and PU powders were immersed in a MAH-acetone solution. Finally, the 
      prepared mixtures were irradiated with an electron beam accelerator. The grafted 
      composites were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy 
      (FT-IR), surface morphology, and mechanical properties. To make a good composite, 
      the improvement in compatibility between HDPE and PU is an important factor. 
      Radiation-induced grafting increased interfacial adhesion between the PU domain 
      and the HDPE matrix. When the absorbed dose was 75 kGy, the surface morphology of 
      the irradiated PU/HDPE composite was nearly a smooth and single phase, and the 
      elongation at break increased by approximately three times compared with that of 
      non-irradiated PU/HDPE composite.
