  • Time to determine reasonable material characteristics for the end cap. 20-30% recycled plastic seems to be the norm for companies who make efforts to implement recycled materials so a 30:70 ratio of recycledPC:ABS seems like a decent conclusion based on these criteria.

  • Using data from fusion 360, solidworks, the first research pdf, this stratasys pdf, and another research article, I was able to roughly estimate material properties for this end cap.

  • These are the values I used under simulation: Young's Modulus: 2.6 GPa, Poisson's Ratio: 0.40, Shear Modulus: 1000MPa, Density: 1.1/cm^3, Yield Strength: 44.58 MPa, Tensile Strength: 46MPa

  • Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and the density were largely the same between different sources for PC:ABS. The yield strength was used from table 1 in the first research pdf to match the 30:70 blend. The tensile strength was estimated to be 46MPa as the tensile strength of similar material concentrations was slightly higher than Yield.

  • Remember, these numbers are not absolute. There are many different variations of PC-ABS and there do not seem to be any standardized set of blends to follow. There are also batch-to-batch variations in the properties of recycled polymers because of variability in the source and the composition of recycled material streams.

  • Besides this, modifiers can be added to the PC:ABS blend to add desired mechanical qualities to the resulting material or help in binding. This allows for yet even more PC-ABS material variations.
