This work aimed to study the influence of mica (muscovite type) particle size in recycled highdensity polyethylene (rHDPE) matrix on wetting behavior and morphological, physical, and chemical properties. The r-HDPE/mica composites were compounded with a fixed ratio of 85/15 (weight percentage), varying the mica particle size (45, 75, 100 and 125 mm). The rHDPE and composites were fed into a twin-screw extruder.
