Simple thermoplastic materials and polymer matrix composites have been used in
this work. Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) plates, a copolymer of
CHDM- cyclohexane dimethanol modified polyethylene terephthalate [56], were
used, which is an amorphous and therefore transparent material, which was
available in plates or extruded sheets in a wide range of thicknesses. The PETG
sheets are of commercial type and their production process is carried out by the
company that supplied them. Also part of the study is polyamide 6.6 with 30%
short glass fibre content obtained by injection moulding and compression
moulding, which was supplied by the ESIS TC4, for the first Round Robin of
short glass fibre composite materials.
