Abstract
A composite material and method are described wherein melted waste, chemically unmodified PET material and fly ash particles are mixed in a vessel to disperse fly ash particles in the melted PET material. The resulting mixture then is cooled to solidify the melted PET material to form a composite material having a matrix comprising PET and dispersoids distributed in the matrix and comprising fly ash particles.
