Nowadays, recycling of waste polymers has become an important subject due to the concerns about environmental pollution and human health. However, deterioration in the properties of polymers after recycling is a problem that needs to be overcome. This study aims to obtain a simultaneously improvement in the fracture toughness and tensile strength properties of the recycled polycarbonate (r-PC).

Some exceptional properties such as low density, easy processability, low cost and relatively good mechanical properties make polymers the most commonly used group of materials required in many are as. Therefore, annual plastic production volume is more than 230 million tons and if it is considered that the annual growth rate of it is 5%, it can be said that this value is likely to reach 400 million tons in 2020 [1].
