Recently, significant events took place that added immensely to the sociotechnical pressure
for developing sustainable composite recycling solutions, namely (1) a ban on composite …

Service lifetimes of polymers and polymer composites are impacted by environmental
ageing. The validation of new composites and their environmental durability involves costly …

The rising usage of carbon and glass fibers has raised awareness of scrap management
options. Every year, tons of composite scrap containing precious carbon and glass fibers …

Abstract Epoxy R-Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite plates were
hydrothermally aged at 60° C for 23, 75, and 133 days. The water content reached 0.97 wt …

Carbon fiber composite's high specific strength makes it incredibly useful for structural
applications. However, their low strain-to-failure can be problematic in structural applications …

Poor interface toughening reduces the utilisation of particle/fibre-reinforced thermoset
polymer composites in many engineering applications. Numerous studies have been …

This paper shows how physical ageing and plasticization processes are coupled in an
amine-based epoxy. The study combines several ageing conditions including thermal …

It is well known that printing parameters strongly affect the mechanical performance of 3D
printed parts. This work explores the role of i) extruder temperature, ii) print speed, and iii) …

Carbon and glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CFRTP/GFRTP) composites
gained widespread application in industrial circles. To provide a clearer view concerning the …

This work investigates the combined effect of water immersion and temperature on the
interlaminar shear static and fatigue strength of glass fiber epoxy composites. Interlaminar …
