Recycled Carbon Fiber for Composite Materials

Recycled Carbon Fiber for Composite Materials provides a critical review and the latest research results and applications of recycled carbon fiber composites materials in various sectors. The book discusses the different recycling processes of carbon fibers and their surface modifications. In recent years, there has been enormous research and commercialization with recycled carbon fiber composites materials, which has been published in several journal review papers and publications on industrial applications, but to date, there have been no books published focusing on recycled carbon fiber for composite materials in a systematic way. This book's chapters focus on the recycling processes, surface modification, composite types with different polymers, and various manufacturing processes and evaluates their properties. Addresses the challenges to be overcome and opportunities for application of recycled carbon fibers Presents the experienced background of the authors who have both a strong engineering and academic focus Provides up-to-date information on techniques for the recycling of carbon fibers, manufacturing methods, properties, mechanical performance, automotive and structural applications INDICE: Part One: Recycling Process 1.
