Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the interfacial and the frictional properties of copper (Cu)
reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) filament. This Cu-Embedded PET filament will be
used as an information transmitter. This filament was prepared by a co-extrusion process.
Mechanical properties of these filaments have been quantified by tensile and pull-out analyses.
It is shown that the mechanical properties of composite filament were improved by adding the
copper filament (from 0.82 to 1.2 GPa). The results of the pull-out test revealed some adhesion
between the copper and the PET despite the existence of More >
