“…Recycled CF obtained form such processes can then be used to reinforce thermoplastics and thermosets or improve the electrical conductivity of insulating polymers, a more attractive proposal than using high cost virgin CF. The incorporation of virgin CF into a range of polymers and polymer blends, including high density polyethylene (HDPE), 2 polypropylene (PP), 2,3 Nylon 6,6, 4 styrenebutadiene-styrene (SBS), 5 epoxy, 6 ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), 7 and HDPE/PMMA blends 8 have been widely reported. However, the published literature on composites of recycled CF and polymers is limited.…”

Composites of recycled carbon fiber (CF) with up to 30 wt % loading with polyethylene (PE) were prepared via melt compounding. The morphology of the composites and the degree of dispersion of the CF in the PE matrix was examined using scanning electron microscopy, and revealed the CF to be highly dispersed at all loadings and strong interfacial adhesion to exist between the CF and PE. Raman and FTIR spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface chemistry and potential bonding sites of recycled CF. Both the Young's modulus and ultimate tensile stress increased with increasing CF loading, but the percentage stress at break was unchanged up to 5 wt % loading, then decreased with further successive addition of CF. The effect of CF on the elastic modulus of PE was examined using the Halpin-Tsai and modified Cox models, the former giving a better fit with the values determined experimentally. The electrical conductivity of the PE matrix was enhanced by about 11 orders of magnitude on addition of recycled CF with a percolation threshold of 7 and 15 wt % for 500-lm and 3-mm thick samples.

“…The interfacial adhesion between reinforcing fibers and polymer matrices in composites is the controlling factor in obtaining optimum mechanical properties of composites [11][12][13]. To achieve good interfacial adhesion between CF and thermoplastic matrices, it is necessary to increase the surface polarity.…”

Carbon fibers (CFs) have high service temperature, strength, and stiffness, and low weight. They are widely used as reinforcing materials in advanced polymer composites. The role of the polymer matrix in the composites is to provide bulk to the composite laminate and transfer load between the fibers. The interface between the CF and the resin matrix plays a critical role in controlling the overall properties of the composites. This paper aims to review the synthesis, properties, and applications of polymer matrices, such as thermosetting and thermoplastic resins.
