Mechanical Properties of Composite Materials from Waste Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Reinforced with Glass Fibers and Waste Window Glass by Biruk Gedif Worku, Tessera Alemneh Wubieneh

“…The FTIR spectrum shows some of the groups that have been removed from the recycled PET; this explains the brittleness of the recycled PET as compared to the waste bottle PET. The microstructure was uniformly distributed, and the material became opaque, probably because the decrease in chain length improves chain packing, increasing the crystallinity degree and crystal size.…”
