Ultrafast carbon nanotubes growth on recycled carbon fibers and their evaluation on interfacial shear strength in reinforced composites
The global demand for products manufactured with carbon fibers (CFs) has increased in
recent years; however, the waste generated at the end of the product lifetime has also
increased. In this research, the impact of the addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the
interlaminated resistance of recycled carbon fibers (RCFs) was studied. In this work, a
recycling process of the composite material was applied via thermolysis to obtain the CFs,
followed by the growth of CNTs on their surface using the Poptube technique. The recycling …
