Funded Activity Summary

Aligned recycled carbon fibre composites for high grade structural elements. By 2025, fibre composites will be a key waste stream worldwide. Current recycling methods are inept as they cause major reduction in mechanical and physical properties of recovered fibre. This project aims to produce high grade, low cost structural component from carbon fibre composite recyclates, and revolutionise their use in construction by carrying out an integrated experimental and advanced computational analyses. Outcomes include development of a novel method for recovery and realignment of fibres without compromising mechanical and physical properties. This provides significant benefits by expanding fundamental knowledge of material science and advanced manufacturing, solving problem on waste and efficient use of natural resources.
