For the resulted specimens the tensile properties are determined according to ASTM D638. The most advantageous results are obtained for the layer thickness of 0.15 mm, with the tensile strength of 58 MPa. Based on the stress-strain curves which are presented in this paper, it also can be assumed that the material is brittle. The results of the mechanical properties are very similar for each group of specimens and it can be assumed that the mechanical properties are homogenous due to the material quality and the machine performances. For all the specimens the rupture location is almost in the same area. Due to the difficulty of carbon fiber filament printing, the manufacturing defectives which appear during the manufacturing process are detected, the most common manufacturing defectives being the material gaps from each specimen, which are identified with microstructural analysis.

The paper considers a modern method of recycling PET waste with a mixture of amino alcohols - monoethanolamine and triethanolamine, taken in two different ratios. As a result of the destruction reaction, terephthalic acid diamide (N, N -bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalamide) is formed. To accelerate the destruction process, microwave radiation of various powers of 200, 540 and 700 watts was used. The optimal conditions for aminolytic decomposition of PET were determined: the time and power of microwave radiation with PET conversion up to 95% and the yield of the target product (terephthalic acid diamide) 80-85%. The destruction process was carried out according to a closed cycle of using reagents, without the use of catalysts and at atmospheric pressure, which to a certain extent reduces the energy consumption and increases the environmental friendliness of this method of PET decomposition. The aminolytic degradation product of PET (terephthalic acid diamide) was used as a monomer in the polycondensation reaction to obtain a new oligomer (terephthalic acid oligoesteramide). The degree of polymerisation (n) is in this case 7 to 11 (number of chain links). The obtained oligomer and the PET degradation product were investigated as new components in elastomeric compositions based on chloroprene rubber and in compositions based on thermoplastic elastomers. It has been demonstrated that the introduction of an oligomer based on a PET degradation product reduces the viscosity of elastomeric compositions by 25-35%.
