Composite Materials Reinforced with Fabric from Used Tyres

Abstract

The Paper deals with testing of composite materials reinforced with fabric, which are obtained after the recycling process of used tyres and matrix is polyvinyl butyral (PVB). PVB is a product of windshields recycling. Fabric, that makes up the composite filler material benefits in various proportions of polyvinyl butyral, which is a matrix of the composite. It is possible to produce various designs material with percentage from 1 % to the 80% of fabrics. The advantage of this material is the primary resource conservation, the use of recovered (waste) materials, and thus generally contributes to environmental protection.
