Development of high performance recycled carbon fibre composites with an advanced hydrodynamic fibre alignment process (2020)
Journal Article
Liu, Z., Turner, T. A., Wong, K. H., & Pickering, S. J. (2021). Development of high performance recycled carbon fibre composites with an advanced hydrodynamic fibre alignment process. Journal of Cleaner Production, 278, Article 123785. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.123785

Carbon fibre composites have great potential for vehicle lightweighting but the high cost and environmental impact of their production tends to largely undermine the advantages in nonaerospace applications. Recycled fibre has the potential to signifi... Read More about Development of high performance recycled carbon fibre composites with an advanced hydrodynamic fibre alignment process.

From aviation to aviation: Environmental and financial viability of closed-loop recycling of carbon fibre composite (2020)
Journal Article
