AB  - With the people's awareness of the "3Rs" in recent years, using recycled 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and random copolymer polypropylene (PPR) as the 
      base materials for piping fabrication has become a mainstream in scholastic path 
      and industrial engineering. In this study, the modified maleic anhydride-grafted 
      polyethylene (POE-g-MAH) compatibilizer was fabricated to increase the 
      interfacial adhesion and dispersion. With the surface modification of calcium 
      carbonate, a POE-g-MAH/CaCO(3)/HDPE polymer composite has been prepared. Such 
      modified polymer composites can further reinforce the processing performance and 
      mechanical properties of recycled HDPE and PPR materials. The results indicated 
      that with the introduction of the polymer composite, significant enhancement of 
      the recycled materials in the aspects of processability, tensile strength, 
      flexural performance, and impact force could be obtained, and the 
      POE-g-MAH/CaCO(3)/HDPE polymer composite would contribute to the impressive 
      balance between high rigidity and toughness. In addition, the feasibility and 
      mechanical properties of the recycled HDPE-PPR-POE-g-MAH/CaCO(3)/HDPE blended 
      system were also studied: with the help of a composite microcapsule, the gap of 
      mechanical capacity between recycled and non-recycled materials was further 
      reduced, and such a blended system was capable of being commercialized in the 
      piping industry.
