Abstract

The aim of paper is to study the influence of environmental open air conditions on the PET-rubber composites. Two set of samples (Type I, Type II) were obtained with the same composition, but the composites of Type I are random mixed while Type II are layered. These samples were obtained by compression molding for 45 minutes, working in a temperature domain of 180 °C-260 °C. The samples were left free in atmospheric conditions (at temperature between 3 °C- 30 °C, under sun light and rain) for two months. These samples were mechanicaly tested and aging was evaluated.
