Recovery of epoxy thermosets and their composites

Xu Zhao et al.

Summary: Epoxy thermoset, the most commonly used thermoset plastic, is extensively applied in composite materials, electronic packaging materials, coatings, and adhesives. The increasing demands for wind power as a new energy source have greatly boosted the use of epoxy thermoset composite materials in wind turbine blades. The recovery of epoxy thermosets is currently a critical challenge due to the large-scale decommissioning of these materials. This review summarizes recent advances in the recovery of epoxy thermosets through source-based recovery strategies (rational design of recyclable thermosets) and end-based recovery strategies (recovery approaches for existing thermosets). The review focuses on the physcycling and chemcycling methods based on end-based recovery strategies and highlights important considerations in chemcycling, such as mass transfer and heat transfer, solvent effects, utilization of reinforced materials and epoxy thermosets, and upcycling. It suggests the development of application-oriented chemcycling based on selective degradation and effective reconstruction. The review concludes by discussing forthcoming challenges and prospects for future development.

Study on the inter-laminar shear properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite materials with different interface structures

Junsen Ma et al.

Summary: The study reveals that enhancing the interfacial interaction between CF and EP can increase the inter-laminar shear strength of CFRPs, transitioning the interlayer shear failure from single interface debonding to a combination of interface debonding and matrix fragmentation.CF-COOH-MXene-EP with higher interfacial interaction can withstand more interlayer shear forces, contributing to improving the service life of CFRPs.
