Abstract During the processes done in petrochemical plants, high amount of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as PET Waste remains. In this research in order to reuse PET and reduce the environmental problems, PET Waste in different weight percentages (0, 5, 10, 15) has been combined with ABS in different conditions of temperature, time and speed of extruder. Different tests have been performed on polymer mixture like: Impact Test, Elongation at Break, Modular Melt Flow, vicat softening temperature and Yellow Index. The results declared that in condition with constant temperature and time and speed of mixing with increasing PET Waste in ABS the number of Impact Test and Elongation at Break decreases and the number of Modular Melt Flow, vicat softening temperature and Yellow Index increases.When the percentage of PET Waste in ABS is constant, according to the change in each of the conditions of the mixing, it is possible that the amount of the change for different tests to be investigated and the laboratory data to be simulated by the MLP artificial neural networks. The results of the simulation covered the laboratory data perfectly and the information of this article can be used as a reference in order to improve the specifications of the mixed polymer according to the need of increasing polymer properties.

1 Introduction Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most commonly produced polymers and is known as the number one plastic because of having high clarity, high strength, toughness, high diffusive resistance, structural resilience, its non-permeable to gases and moisture and very low weight. PET is widely used as a packaging material for soft drink bottles, food packaging, and other household products [1–6]. A series of activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from PET, the best AC was obtained by using a 700℃ temperature and 5 h of carbonization period [7]. In a study, the gasification experiment of PET microplastics in supercritical water was carried out in a quartz tube reactor
and the effect of operating conditions on gasification was investigated [8]. PET material of plastic bottles, was used as a carbon bearing precursor for high-pressure synthesis of microcrystalline diamonds. It was shown that carbonization of PET, presumably stimulated by the formation of water molecules, takes place in the temperature range 620–770 K with formation of graphene nanoclusters [9]. In the synthesis of PET, some of the batches are failed and these wastes of PET are commonly discharged and cannot be used and also, it is causing huge environmental pollution to land and waterways. In order to not have the
