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.
The new market study identifies key players in a $785 million global market that has grown by 21% year on year.
Washington State University and the Composites Recycling Technology Center are creating building materials from heat-treated wood and recycled carbon fiber.
Strohm and Evonik’s carbon fiber/PA12 pipes are now fit to use for hydrocarbons transport. A lifecycle report also found the TCP pipes to have a 60% lower carbon footprint than an equivalent carbon steel pipeline.
