New Carbon Fiber Recycling Path Identified
Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new method that they say will allow the reclamation of unrecyclable carbon fiber parts.
While the use of carbon fiber composite materials as a readily accepted material in aircraft manufacturing is growing, the technology needed to be able to provide end-of-life recycling is slowly developing.
