With an increase in the use of carbon fiber composites aerospace and automobile industry a collateral issue what to do with end-of-life has risen. In this study, we successfully developed second-generation composite using heterogenous mixture thermoset thermoplastic recycled (CFCs). The recovered vinyl ester epoxy CFCs (thermosets) were characterized thermogravimetric analysis. Adhesive perform...

Abstract Self-healing materials can increase the lifetime of products and improve their sustainability. However, detection damage in an early stage is essential to avoid progression ensure a successful self-healing process. In this study, sensor composite strips were developed with embedding thermoplastic styrene-based co-polymer (TPS) matrix. Piezoresistive TPS fibers composites (SFCs) 3D prin...

As with the consolidation time, the cooling rate applied during the solidification stage of the composite processing cycle influences the total processing cycle time, as well as the mechanical performance. By controlling the solidification rate, changes in the matrix morphology and crystallinity can be achieved, and hence different mechanical properties may be obtained. Control of the solidific...
