Thermoplastic Pultrusion: A Review

“…There are various mechanical, chemical, and thermal approaches to composites recycling. The main problem associated with the application of recycled composites lies in a degradation of mechanical properties of recycled fibers to be used in newly produced composites [ 374 , 375 ]. On the other hand, striving to minimize carbon footprint, researchers opened a new perspective on the application of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), typically used in worldwide packaging, as a raw material for thermoplastic pultrusion [ 187 ].…”

Comparative Study on Tribological Behavior of Graphene/Polyimide and Carbon Fibers/Polyimide Composites: A Review

“…Due to the rod-shaped characteristics of carbon fiber, a higher matrix volume fraction is needed to achieve compact packaging. Also, the pores in the matrix filled with CF will lead to the formation of voids, which will eventually affect the mechanical properties of the composites [82].…”

Bio-cleaning improves the mechanical properties of lignin-based carbon fibers

“…5,6 The advantages of using CF in various applications include its light weight, large surface area to volume ratio and strength to weight ratio, high exibility, corrosion resistance, etc. 7 More than 97% of all produced CF are used in composite material applications, 8 where mechanical properties of the reinforcements play vital roles. CF-reinforced polymer composites benet immensely from its high modulus and tensile strength.…”
