Abstract:

In order to recover carbon fiber reinforced resin composites(CFRP) effectively, avoid waste of resources and environmental pollution, recycling methods and progress of thermosetting and thermoplastic resin-based carbon fiber composites were reviewed in this paper. These methods include physical mechanical method, heat recovery, solvent dissociation, melt injection and slice remolding, etc. The recovery idea of solvent dissociation method was sorted out. The degradable thermosetting resin and its recovery method were introduced. The recycling mechanism of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin was described.The recycling methods of carbon fiber reinforced thermosetting resins were summarized, which have the characteristics of low recycling efficiency, high equipment requirements and poor performance of regenerated carbon fibers. It is considered that carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composite has the characteristics of rapid prototyping, low cost and multiple recycling, which is suitable for the development trend of large-scale application of CFRP in civil field.

Key words: carbon fiber, thermosetting resin, thermoplastic resin, recycling method, reutilization
