This work analyzes the mechanical behavior of new composite materials with polymeric matrix, made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (r-PET), reinforced with 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% Zn metal particles, processed under isothermal sintering at constant temperature (256°C) and time (15 min) conditions. The r-PET/Zn composite material samples were obtained by a powder traditional technique, namely, ball-milling, uniaxial dye-pressing to obtain pre-forms followed by isothermal sintering. The observations through optical microscopy of the overall morphologies that resulted after sintering the samples studied, were compared against the r-PET-control sample without reinforcement, processed under the same conditions. From the results, it was found that the metal particles were distributed uniformly in the matrix; further, increasing amounts of metal particles tended to improve the mechanical behavior resulting in a stronger material, as was the case of the two materials with higher metal contents (30 and 40 wt% Zn).
