CFRP Laminates with Recycled Carbon Fiber: Resin Infusion and Mechanical Characterisation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The possibility to produce new components using reclaimed non-woven carbon fabric has been investigated. Being composite waste production increased, different strategies and technologies for recycling are developing to face criticalities and economic aspects related to their disposal. In this scenario, CFRP laminates with recycled carbon fiber and epoxy vinyl ester resin have been fabricated by Resin Infusion under Flexible Tooling (RIFT) and mechanical characterization has been performed to investigate their behavior under tensile, flexural and macro-indentation loads.
