AB  - The primary goal of this study was to investigate the monotonic tensile behavior 
      of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in its virgin, regrind, and laminated forms. 
      HDPE is the most commonly used polymer in many industries. A variety of tensile 
      tests were performed using plate-type specimens made of rectangular plaques. 
      Several factors can affect the tensile behavior such as thickness, processing 
      technique, temperature, and strain rate. Testing temperatures were chosen at -40, 
      23 (room temperature, RT), 53, and 82  degrees C to investigate temperature effect. 
      Tensile properties, including elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate 
      tensile strength, were obtained for all conditions. Tensile properties 
      significantly reduced by increasing temperature while elastic modulus and 
      ultimate tensile strength linearly increased at higher strain rates. A 
      significant effect of thickness on tensile properties was observed for injection 
      molding specimens at 23  degrees C, but no thickness effect was observed for compression 
      molded specimens at either 23 or 82  degrees C. The aforementioned effects and discussion 
      of their influence on tensile properties are presented in this paper. Polynomial 
      relations for tensile properties, including elastic modulus, yield strength, and 
      ultimate tensile strength, were developed as functions of temperature and strain 
      rate. Such relations can be used to estimate tensile properties of HDPE as a 
      function of temperature and/or strain rate for application in designing parts 
      with this material.
