Due it increasing use in electronics, polymers, mainly acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and its blend with polycarbonate (PC), are making considerable part of electronic waste. It has been proven that halogenated flame retardants used in polymers for electronics are toxic to environment and human health. Aim of the research is to evaluate the effects of nanostructured montmorillonite clay (D43B) addition on the mechanical and thermal characteristics of PC, ABS and its binary blends. The effect of substitution of virgin polymers in the blend with recycled ones has been also investigated. It has been determined that as far as the recycled polymer content in the composites does not exceed 10wt.%, tensile and thermal properties of the systems are not considerably affected. Addition of D43B up to 1,0-1,5wt.% contributes to the increment of mechanical stiffness, strength and thermal stability of the composites.
