Composite materials are engineered combinations of two or more distinct materials, merging their individual properties to create a new material with enhanced characteristics. Typically composed of a reinforcing phase (like fibers or particles) embedded within a matrix (often a polymer, metal, or ceramic), composites leverage the strengths of each component to achieve superior strength, stiffness, lightness, or other desirable attributes. Their versatility extends across industries, from aerospace and automotive to construction and sports equipment, where their tailored design and exceptional properties offer solutions for high-performance applications.
Recycling in composites manufacturing is an evolving endeavor aimed at addressing sustainability challenges. Unlike traditional materials, composites often pose recycling complexities due to their multi-component nature. However, innovative techniques are emerging to tackle this issue. Methods like pyrolysis, mechanical recycling, and chemical processes are being developed to efficiently recover valuable components from composite waste, such as fibers or matrix materials.
Three-month trials with German bicycle manufacturers will lead to new platform implementation to promote use of recycled materials, enable emissions tracing/management.
For 42 months, the Aitiip Technology Center will coordinate the EU-funded project to design a new range of intermediate materials, such as pellets or resin-impregnated carbon fibers, which will be used to manufacture more sustainable final products.
Waste2Fiber facility will use a proprietary thermal method to separate wind blade materials for reuse and will have a processing capacity of 6,000 tons of material/year.
Through the use of EzCiclio low-dielectric epoxy hardener, PCB manufactures can make recyclable, reusable products for electronic applications.
The NCC begins a three-year program to rapidly refine and scale industry continuous carbon fiber recycling, a key solution to net-zero ambitions. Partner collaborations are welcomed to the effort.
Carbon fiber recycling specialist Vartega cut the ribbon on a new 82,000-square-foot facility in Denver, Colo., U.S.
A look at the process by which precursor becomes carbon fiber through a careful (and mostly proprietary) manipulation of temperature and tension.
The collection and recycling of carbon fiber scrap from the aerospace/defense company matures Fairmat’s plans to grow its international footprint in composites recycling.
At laboratory scale, functionalized CFRP thermosets can be “released” via heat or chemicals to reincarnate them back into their starting materials.
The Lion Bike is a German-made, injection molded bicycle with 40% recycled carbon fibers with zero scrap and enabling 67% lower CO2 emissions during production.
