AbstractDepolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, waste was studied in the presence of manganese acetate catalyst and propylene glycol (PG) at different weight ratios. The glycolyzed products were analyzed for hydroxyl value and the amount of free glycol. A series of unsaturated polyesters based on the glycolyzed products, maleic anhydride and styrene, were prepared. Molecular weights and curing behavior of these polyesters were determined. Polymer concrete (PC) and polymer mortars (PM) made with these resins were investigated for their compressive strength. It has been found that the properties of PC and PM obtained from resins based on recycled PET are comparable to PC and PM made from virgin materials.
