Nearly 90% of thermosets are produced from petroleum resources, they have remarkable mechanical characteristics, are chemically durable, and dimensionally stable. However, they …
Exploring routes for the effective use of recycled carbon fibres (rCFs) is critical to close the loop in the life cycle of carbon fibres. This work demonstrated a potential of using rCFs for …
This study investigates the influence of hybrid toughening—via core-shell-rubber (CSR) particles and non-woven thermoplastic veils—on the delamination resistance, crack …
The exceptional mechanical properties of Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) polymers make them ideal candidates for interlayer toughening of carbon fibre/epoxy composites. Herein …
The production of advanced composites from recycled carbon fibres (rCFs) is critical for the sustainable development of carbon fibre industry. Herein, non-woven mats consisting of …
