Abstract: 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.
