Abstract

AbstractRecycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a significant part of production of new materials. PVB is known for good elasticity, adhesion, and water resistance. The strengths of the material are in high compatibility with other polymers and very good manufacturing possibilities by producing composite materials. It was these properties that were key to the possibility of using polyvinyl butyral in additive production. This chapter is focused on testing the physicochemical properties of recycled polyvinyl butyral using differential scanning calorimetry. By our research, the temperatures Tg and Tm were determined. The field of application of materials based on recycled polyvinyl butyral is mainly in the engineering industry. The aim is to reduce the total weight of the selected component, compatibility with other polymers, material flexibility, UV stability, and recyclability. The usability of materials from waste materials and their application into new final parts fully support the economic and environmental aspects, which is so important today.KeywordsPolyvinyl butyralAdditive manufacturingFilamentWeight
