Research progress in recycling and reusing technologies of carbon fiber reinforced plastics
Carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP)have been widely used in aerospace,national defense,military industry,sprots and leisure,rail transit and other fields due to their excellent performance,such as low density,strong wear resistance,high strength and modulus.However,high waste rate of CFRP leads to great resource wastage and environmental pollution.Consequently,recycling and re-using high-value carbon fibers from CFRP waste have become both emphasis and difficulty in the field of carbon materials research.This paper summarized the application condition,advantages and disadvantages of CFRP wastes'recycling methods.The reusing re-search status of recyclable CFRP in the industries of highway,carbon fiber felt,auto parts,carbon fiber reinforced concrete and so on was indicated.Finally,the significance of CFRP recycling in achieving the high-value reuse of carbon fibers and environmental pollution reduction was high lighted.
