Solvolytic recycling of unsaturated polyester resin-based sheet moulding composites
An effective and mild method for the solvolysis of UPR based sheet moulding compounds was developed. The removal of the sizing of the fibers can be influenced by choosing an appropriate catalyst. It is postulated that acetophenone reacts with the resin and as a result makes it more thermally stable.
