Closed loop recycling of functional carbon fiber epoxy laminates

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Carbon fiber epoxy composites offer high performance but are difficult to recycle due to their crosslinked structure. Here, a multifunctional laminate with self-healing and EMI shielding properties is developed, enabling closed-loop recycling using a green aqueous solution
