Asensio Valentín, María Pastor Barajas, José María Merino Senovilla, Juan Carlos Nuñez Carrero, Karina Carla Producción Científica Packaging sector generates 40% of the plastics consumption in Europe. Among the most consumed plastics, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is still the material that undoubtedly continues to grow in the packaging sector. Hence, there is a concern related to the recycling process, which today is only around 56%. Therefore, the objective of this work focuses on the use of this recycled material as a source of raw material for pultrusion processes. This work studies and compares the processability of final composite pultruded parts by using three different pre-impregnated recycled materials different in their viscosity and stream. Those composites were characterized by mechanical testing and microscopy analysis. The obtained results were compared with those of another pultruded thermoplastic (polypropylene) composite. From this study, it was possible to transform a waste into a product with high added value, reducing the carbon footprint. 2021-03-08 2021-03-08 2020 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Composites Part B: Engineering, 2020, vol. 200. 7 p. 1359-8368 http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/45564 10.1016/j.compositesb.2020.108365 10.1016/j.compositesb.2020.108365 108365 Composites Part B: Engineering 200 spa https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359836820334144 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Elsevier Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
