Abstract:The research interest in developing alternative solutions to replace conventional synthetic fibers with natural fibers in composites is due to the several possible benefits of using these fibers, such as low cost, low density, high specific strength and high availability. The objective of this study was to produce hybrid composites from a commercial ortho-terephthalic unsaturated polyester resin obtained from the recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) glycolysis reinforced with sisal/glass fibers obtained b… Show more
