•The interfacial adhesion between recycled polymers and nanofillers is analyzed.•The nanofillers can introduce a good interfacial adhesion to the waste polymers.•The application of nanofillers for recycling of polymers is more efficient.
The present paper studies the quantitative analysis of interfacial adhesion in the nanocomposites containing recycled polymers. The interfacial bonding is evaluated using different models for tensile properties of composites. A good agreement is found between the experimental results of mechanical properties and the theoretical predictions which validate the current analysis.Many parameters such as (a) in Nicolais–Narkis, (a) in Kunori–Geil, (B) in Pukanszky model and interfacial strength (t) show the perfect interfacial adhesion. Moreover, the obtained values of (B) and (t) are compared with other studies. The current study justifies the recycling of polymers through the incorporation of nanofillers.
