A high impact polymer adapted to be recyclable comprising a polymer, a
cross-linking agent, an accelerator, and a nano-clay. The cross-linking
agent comprises a sulfur and a peroxide with an activity ranging from 40%
to 99%. The accelerator is present in ratios ranging from 1:2 to 1:10 in
relation to the sulfur and the peroxide. The nano-clay comprises a weight
percent ranging from 1% to 40%. The high impact polymer is formed by
preparing the nano-clay with the cross-linking agent and accelerator.
Next, the polymer and the nano-clay are mixed, initiating cross-linking.
The high impact polymer is formed through creation of macro radicals
which create macromolecular polymer chains with sulfur bridges without
requiring high torque. The accelerator ensures that the cross-linking and
the formation of sulfur bridges occur simultaneously, and partially
inhibits the cross-linking. The nano-clay enhances the reversibility of
the cross-linking and provides enhanced strength.
