Abstract:
This work studied recycling of glass fiber for new products (second use). The main source of recycled glass fiber is factory scrap and applications waste (such as water tank waste). In this work waste of glass fiber is burned to separate glass fiber waste from other materials. Hand lay-up method is used for fabrication one and two layers of virgin glass fiber/polyester composite and also for recycled glass fiber/polyester composite. Mechanical tests are applied such as tensile test, bending test and hardness test for evaluations the properties of varies samples. The results showed the composite containing recycled glass fiber has low properties compare to virgin.
