Novel Thermoplastic Composites Strengthened with Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composite Waste Rods: Development and Characterization KU Leuven
The increasing use of carbon fiber and epoxy resin composite materials yields an increase in the amount of waste. Therefore, we present a solution consisting of composites manufactured by hot pressing, employing polyamides (either PA11 or PA12) and a mechanically recycled carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) as reinforcement. The main objectives are to study the manufacturing of those composites, to evaluate the fiber distribution, and to ...
