Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics, Morphology, and Mechanical Properties of Biocomposites Based on Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) and Recycled Carbon Fiber

“…Carbon-fiber-reinforced composites were widely used as structural materials owing to their excellent mechanical properties and stability. 24 However, their high consumption of energy during the production process discourages their use from the perspective of green chemistry. 25 Luckily, based on its excellent thermal and chemical stability, recycled carbon fiber (RCF) still preserves most of its excellent properties despite being used repeatedly and is enough to be reused in the field of universal composite materials.…”

“…Nevertheless, considering of the low tensile strength and modulus of the nature fibers in comparison of the inorganic fibers, it is prospective that the reinforcing effect of the nature fibers on P(3,4HB) is not as good as that of the inorganic fibers. Carbon-fiber-reinforced composites were widely used as structural materials owing to their excellent mechanical properties and stability . However, their high consumption of energy during the production process discourages their use from the perspective of green chemistry .…”

State-of-the-Art Review of Capabilities and Limitations of Polymer and Glass Fibers Used for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

“…Carbon fiber has historically been one of the most popular types of fiber for reinforcing brittle matrix composites to improve their tensile properties [ 20 ]. The effectiveness of carbon fiber reinforcement in other types of matrices has sparked interest in using carbon fibers in FRC.…”

Experimental Characterization of the Fiber Angles of Multiple Curved Laminate Segments Using Prepreg-Based Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers as a Structure for a Non-Engaging Bellows Coupling

“…For example, they are broadly applied in aerospace industry, automotive production, shipbuilding and wind energy sector as well as in the sports equipment industry [1 -3]. Various textile reinforcement materials, resin systems and processing technologies are available for most diverse requirements [4]. For instance, in mechanical engineering prepregs (pre-impregnated materials) impart high strength, stiffness and good damping property to components subjected to extreme dynamic stresses (e.g.…”
