This work examines the flexural and impact behavior of self-reinforced poly(ethylene terephthalate) (srPET) composites, which were produced by film stacking from fabrics composed of braiding commingled yarns with high-tenacity PET (serving as the reinforcements) and copolymerized PET (mPET) (serving as the matrix). The influence of the hybrid yarns, fabric architectures, and processing conditions on the mechanical properties of srPETs were studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
