Answer to Question 1

To increase the HDT value of the material, increase the crystallinity of the material by making it more dense in structure through added hydrogen bonding. Another way to increase the HDT value would be to make the molecular weight of the material greater through cross-linking.

Answer to Question 2

Paper, yard wastes, and plastics.
