This study assessed the compressive and tensile strengths and modulus of elasticity of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using the ASTM standard tests. In addition, short carbon and glass fibers were mixed with waste PET to examine the improvements in ductility and strength during compression. The bonding was examined via field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The strength degradation of the waste PET tested under UV was 40-50%. However, it had a compressive strength of 32.37 MPa (equivalent to that of concrete), tensile strength of 31.83 MPa (approximately ten times that of concrete), and a unit weight of 12-13 kN/m3 (approximately half that of concrete). A finite element analysis showed that, compared with concrete, a waste PET pile foundation can support approximately 1.3 times greater loads. Mixing reinforcing fibers with waste PET further mitigated this, thereby extending ductility. Waste PET holds excellent potential for use in foundation piles, especially while mitigating brittleness using short reinforcing fibers and avoiding UV degradation.

본 연구에서는 재활용된 polyethylene terephthalate (RPET)로 만든 플라스틱 단섬유의 구조재료로써의 사용 가능성을 조사하였다. 실험은 균열제어 성능을 확인하기 위해 구속건조수축균열 시험을 평가하였다. 성능을 검증하기 위해서 가장 널리 상용되는 합성섬유인 poly propylene (PP) 섬유와 비교하였으며, 섬유의 혼입률을 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%로 변화시켜 혼입률에 따른 영향을 함께 검토하였다.

In this paper the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column connections under cyclic loading was analyzed. The specimens, manufactured in a reduced-scale were made of (a) recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by replacing 30% of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and (b) RAC incorporating Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber i.e., PET fiber-reinforced concrete (PFRC) at the joint region. PET fiber (aspect ratio=25) of 0.5% by weight of concrete used in the PFRC mix was obtained by hand cutting of post-consumer PET bottles. A reference specimen was also prepared using 100% of NCA and subjected to similar loading sequence. Comparing the results the structural behavior under cyclic loading of RAC specimens are quite similar to the reference specimens. Damage tolerance, load resisting capacity, stiffness degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation of the RAC specimens enhanced due to addition of PET fibers at the joint region. PFRC specimens also presented a lower damage indices and higher principal tensile stresses as compared to the RAC specimens. The results obtained gave experimental evidence on the feasibility of RAC for structural use. Using PET fibers as a discrete reinforcement is recommended for improving the seismic performance of RAC specimens.

재활용 PET (Poly ethylene terephthalate)로부터 PBT (Poly butylene terephthalate)를 생산할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 모색하였다. 이 방법은 PET와 BD (1,4-butanediol)의 에스테르 교환반응을 통하여 BHBT (Bishydroxybutylterephthalate) 올리고머를 생성하는 글리콜리시스 반응과 BHBT의 축합 중합 반응을 통하여 PBT 올리고머를 생성하는 축중합 반응으로 이루어져 있다. 이를 통해 단기 수명 주기 제품인 버려지는 PET 페자원을 장기 수명 주기 제품인 PBT로 변환시켜 더 가치 있고 바람직한 재활용을 하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 글리콜리시스와 축중합 촉매로 zinc acetate를 사용하였고, 글리콜리시스 반응에 대하여 회분식 반응기와 반 회분식 반응기를 적용하여 성능을 비교하였다. 이를 위하여 생성되는 에틸렌글리콜(EG)의 양을 정량하여 해중합도를 추정할 수 있는 EG 수율과 부산물인 THF 생성량을 성능 척도로 하였다. 반응 도중에 EG를 제거하는 반회분식 반응기의 성능이 회분식 반응기에 비하여 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 반회분식 반응기의 경우 최적의 반응조건은 BD/PET 비율 4, 반응온도 $220^{\circ}C$ 이었으며, 최고 EG 수율은 91% 이었다. 또한 축 중합 반응이 진행됨에 따라 PBT 올리고머의 분자량이 증가하는 것을 보였다.

For the development of higher-sizing performance of paper, a sizing agent using recycled PET was synthesised. Polyester resin was extracted from wasted PET by subcritical hydrolysis and finally modified to synthetic sizing agent by mixing water-disperse PET with triphenyl phosphite(TPP). The modified PET was considered as an internal sizing agent in different wet-end papermaking conditions. The optimum condition in sizing efficiency was obtained in initial pH of 6.5 in case of rosin+alum system, and 7.5 in case of rosin+alum+PET system, respectively, and in addition amount of PET 3%. The sizing efficiency was also closely related according to the fiber properties of wet-end slurry, such as virgin fibres from UKP and recycled fibres from KOCC. The application of modified PET was good in strength improvement of paper, specially in tensile strength.

The purpose of this study is heavy metal absorption of recycled PET(poly ethylene terephatalate) NWF(non woven faric). The results of test are summarized as follows; Heavy metal abworption rates in Ni ions were higher then Zn and Cu ions, whereas heavy metal absorption rates by sulfonation times were not different. The heavy metal absorption times have a higher tendency from 60 min to 120 min. There were significant negative correlations among the amount used CSA(Chloro Sulfuric Acid) and the amount of absorption Zn(r = -0.33784, p < 0.05), Cu(r = -0.61177, p < 0.01) ions, whereas correlations between heavy metal absorption rates and sulfonation times were not significant. There were significant positive correlations among the amount of absorption Zn ions and the amount of absorption Ni(r = 96475, p < 0.014), Cu(r = 0.51614, p < 0.01) ions, likewise the positive correlations between the amount of absorption N ions and the amount of absorption Cu(r = 0.54766) ions were significant(p < 0.01).

In this paper, the flame-retardant wall paper was successfully prepared with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) short cut fiber with flame-retardant property and wood pulp using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as binder followed by treatment of non-halogen flame retardant. Physical properties such as formation index, tensile strength, elongation, and burst strength increased as defibrillation increased except tear strength. Bulk increased but formation index, tensile strength, elongation and burst strength decreased along with addition of PET short cut fiber. It was also found that tear strength rose significantly up to 30% of PET short cut fiber and then declined (fell) rapidly. As addition level of PVA increased tensile strength, elongation and burst strength increased, but tear strength decreased slightly. Addition of 20% of PET short cut fiber and 13% of PVA provided the flame-retardant wall paper with both improved flameproofing and physical properties.

본 논문은 PET의 하나인 물질재활용에 대해 전과정평가기법을 이용하여 환경성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 국내에서 재생업체를 대상으로 데이터를 수집하여 목록분석을 실시한 후 Eco-Indicator 95의 영향평가방법을 사용하여 각 영향범주별 환경영향을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 폐플라스틱의 물질재활용공정에서 가장 영향을 미치는 것은 지구온난화로 밝혀졌다. 이는 폐플라스틱인 PET에 대해 물질재활용의 각 단위공정별 환경영향평가 결과에서 전력과 에너지를 가장 많이 사용하는 용융 및 재생원료화공정의 환경부하가 매우 높기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 환경오염물질 배출량을 살펴보면 $CO_2$가 매우 높은 비중을 차지하였으며, 그 다음은 NOx이었다. 이는 전력사용과 수송과정의 경유사용에 기인한 것이다. 폐플라스틱의 물질재활용에 대한 영향평가결과는 오존층 파괴의 영향을 제외한 거의 모든 영향범주들이 음(-) 값이며 이는 환경성이 매우 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, PET를 물질재활공정과 이를 다시 재생원료로서 사용할 경우를 비교할 때 환경부하삭감효과는 매우 크게 나타났다.
