Abstract (Englisch)

Verretex, in collaboration with LPAC at EPFL, aims to explore the limits of reinforcing sub-centimeter recycled glass fibers in thermoplastics. The project will validate fiber surface treatment and extrusion to assess whether the use of modified recycled fibers can enable true circular composites
