Carbon fibre-reinforced composites are being more and more used since several years. In the same time the need for adequate methods to recycle fibres from industrial or post-industrial waste is rising. This paper investigates the state-of-the-art methodol-ogies for processing recycled Carbon Fibres (rCF) into reinforcement textiles, identifies key challenges, and presents novel production techniques aimed at optimizing their integration into textile structures for composites. Different processing methods are an-alysed and their impact on the mechanical properties of the composites is investigated on coupon level.

You can write a PREreview of Manufacturing Routes for Short, Potentially Recycled Carbon Fibres to Close the Loop. A PREreview is a review of a preprint and can vary from a few sentences to a lengthy report, similar to a journal-organized peer-review report.
