Journal Article
Meng, F., McKechnie, J., Turner, T., Wong, K. H., & Pickering, S. J. (in press). Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications. Environmental Science and Technology, 51(21), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.7b04069

The high cost and energy intensity of virgin carbon fibre manufacture provides an opportunity to recover substantial value from carbon fibre reinforced plastic wastes. In this study, we assess the life cycle environmental implications of recovering c... Read More about Environmental aspects of use of recycled carbon fibre composites in automotive applications.

Energy and environmental assessment and reuse of fluidised bed recycled carbon fibres (2017)
Journal Article
Meng, F., McKechnie, J., Turner, T. A., & Pickering, S. J. (2017). Energy and environmental assessment and reuse of fluidised bed recycled carbon fibres. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 100, 206-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2017.05.008

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) recycling and the reutilisation of the recovered carbon fibre (rCF) can compensate for the high impacts of virgin carbon fibre (vCF) production. In this paper, we evaluate the energy and envi... Read More about Energy and environmental assessment and reuse of fluidised bed recycled carbon fibres.
