Abstract

A new strategy of recycling and reusing abandoned carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is proposed: CFRPs are first fully carbonized to CF reinforced carbon (C/C) preforms, and then are manufactured into high value-added C/C composites. The results showed that the carbon residue rate of epoxy-resin (EP) matrix was fully recovered as the decomposition route of EP matrix was changed by charring agent. The recycled CF (rCF) was not markedly oxidized or thermally damaged, and possessed comparable properties with those of the virgin CF (vCF) after pyrolysis. The pyrolytic char had no obvious negative effect on the densification efficiency of the rCF reinforced carbon (rCF/C) composites. Both of the rCF/C and vCF reinforced carbon (vCF/C) composite bodies were quite dense, and exhibited almost no difference in their microstructures. The rCF/C and vCF/C composites therefore had quite close interface bonding strength (12.6 MPa and 13.0 MPa, respectively), and bending strength (106.4 MPa and 111.5 MPa, respectively). Furthermore, the rCF/C composites possessed comparable ablative rate with that of the vCF/C composites. The rCF/C composites derived from abandoned CF/EP composites present a great potential to be used as substitutes for vCF/C composites owing to their indistinguishable properties.
