Interfacial effects in glass fibre composites as a function of unsaturated polyester resin composition

Tensile Properties of Unsaturated Polyester-Based Sisal Fiber–Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites

“…The effect of fiber content and the chemical treatment of fibers on the tensile properties have been studied for these hybrid composites. Unsaturated polyester resin was used as the matrix for these composites as it is one of the widely used thermosets and finds use in industrial applications because of their good mechanical properties especially when reinforced with fibers or fillers [9].…”

Glass fibres reinforced polyester composites degradation monitoring by surface analysis

“…5b and 6b), typical aromatic polyester bands could be observed. The band centred at ∼3445 cm −1 (IWB) and ∼3451 cm −1 (IRB) is related to the stretching vibration of O H groups [23]. As this stretching vibration is shifted to higher wavenumbers for the case of the IRB composite, a stronger interaction of the polyester matrix with the glass fibre could be possible, accounting for the higher UV resistance of the red-coated composite.…”

Recycling of non-metallic fractions from waste printed circuit boards: A review

“…UPRs find use in industrial applications because of their good mechanical properties especially when reinforced with fibers or fillers [42]. In order to take full advantage of the NMFs of waste PCBs, Zhenming Xu and his colleagues Jie Guo, Bin Cao, Jiuyong Guo from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a novel technique to produce the non-metallic plate (NMP) by using unsaturated polyester resin as a bonding agent [37,43].…”
