Bondline temperature control using carbon fiber embedded resistive heaters
This research investigates the limits of temperature control and estimation when using embedded resistive heaters for adhesive bonding of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) adherends. With the increasing use of CFRP materials, high quality adhesive bonding is important for reducing costs of manufacturing, and improving ...
Evaluating Embedded Heater Bonding for Composites
Out-of-autoclave bonding of high-strength carbon-fiber composites structures can reduce costs associated with autoclaves. Nevertheless, a concern is whether out-of-autoclave bonding results in a loss of delamination toughness. The main contribution of this paper is to comparatively evaluate the delamination toughness of ...
Recycling of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers in Subcritical Water with Acetic Acid Amendment
A novel single-stage solvolysis process is proposed for recycling carbon fibers from an unknown epoxy-based composite material using 50 wt % acetic acid under subcritical conditions. The process yields 100 % recovery efficiency for fibers in less than 30 min when operating at 300 °C. Qualitative analysis of the fibers using ...
