Re-use of glass wool fiber as new composite polyester system

Abstract EN

Four different ratios of composites were prepared by varying the wool glass, at different additive weight percentages (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 wt.

%) in order to study the effect of glass wool reinforcement on mechanical and chemical properties of GW-reinforced polyester composites.

The vacuum bagging technique was adopted for the fabrication of hybrid composite materials.

Afterword many mechanical properties as hardness, impact resistance, and compression resistance for these hybrid composites were evaluated according ASTM Standards.

The mechanical properties were improved as the fibers reinforcement content increased in the matrix material.

The chemical properties were improved as increased the weight of glass wool.

The chemical and mechanical properties have been increased for maximum value when glass wool fiber has reached 0.6% wt.
