PET blends and glass fibre composites
thesis
posted on 2017-11-28, 10:54 authored by Alexander M. RobinsonPolyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a potentially valuable
material which can be reclaimed and recycled into a variety of high
value applications, such as in the automotive industry. The physical
properties required for applications of PET can be attained by blending
and/or addition of reinforcing fibres. The literature for blends
and composites of PET is quite extensive, however there are areas that
have not been investigated. It is necessary to explore the effect of
reinforcing a blend of PET and bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC) with
glass fibres for example. [Continues.]
