Titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles have recently appeared in PET waste because of the introduction of opaque PET bottles. We prepare polymer blend nanocomposites (PBNANOs) by adding hydrophilic (hphi), hydrophobic (hpho), and hydrophobically modified (hphoM) titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles to 80rPP/20rPET recycled blends. Contact angle measurements show that the degree of hydrophilicity of TiO<sub>2</sub> decreases in the order hphi > hpho > hphoM. A reduction of r ...[more]
