Then composites are obtained from the matrices mentioned above and glass fabric of a weight of 81g/m2 and 163 g/m2. The physical properties of the composites prepared are investigated by ATR- FTIR. Some mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break and thermal properties of the composites are measured. Specific matrices are selected as they are suitable for composites preparation. The latter can be used for fiberglass production. Future study is required aiming to decrease the styrene emissions during lamination and curing.enAn investigation on the possibility of fiberglass manufacture using a matrix obtained from water diluted mixtures of unsaturated lyester and polyurethane resinsArticle
