Abstract
This research takes as an object discarded PET bottles and glass bottles. First, the bottles are subdivided. PEI flakes are heated and melted, glass is mixed, and test pieces are produced. Next, unconfined compression strength and bending strength of the pieces are obtained. The production method of the tile which is not crystalized white and can be used as construction materials was examined. Furthermore, hardness was examined as one of the intensity measurements. The following conclusions were drawn:(1) Maximum of unconfined compression strength is 8.784N/mm2.(2) Maximum of bending strength is 4.672N/mm2.(3) The piece particle diameter of glass should be 2.00-9.00mm.(4) A mold is maintained at the same temperature as the melted PET, should be made thin.(5) The thickness of a tile should be about 4-8mm.(6) This tile has the almost same hardness as boards made of vinyl chloride.
Consequently, the standard of the fundamental production method of the practical tile was obtained
