ASSESSMENT OF THE POSSIBILITY OF CARBON FIBER COMPOSITE RECYCLING USING CHEMICAL METHODS

This paper investigates an approach to the recycling of carbon fibre materials using the method of solvolysis. This method allows the extraction of reinforcing fillers from the matrix, which can be subsequently re-used for the production of polymeric composite materials. The obtained results form a theoretical framework for the development of a technology for managing waste products containing polymeric composite materials. The disposal of polymeric composite materials present a number of environmental challenges, primarily due to their resistance to external conditions as a result of increased physical and mechanical characteristics. The key approach to solving this problem is to recycle these materials. One of the advantages of recycling is the formation of a certain number of useful products that can be subsequently used in industry without a repeated pollution of the environment. For such reasons, recycling is considered to be not only a cost-effective, but also an environmentally preferred and safer approach to solving the problem of composite material disposal.
