Preliminary study of CFRP manufacturing offcuts with secondary resin impregnation via hand lay up
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been extensively used because of their excellent performance and lightweight. Due to its widespread use, manufacturing scrap and end-of-life prepregs is constantly generated. Investigation into the potential of CFRP reclamation by second impregn...

| Summary: | Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been extensively used because of their excellent performance and lightweight. Due to its widespread use, manufacturing scrap and end-of-life prepregs is constantly generated. Investigation into the potential of CFRP reclamation by second impregnation process via hand lay-up was performed. Focusing on the effects of number of layers (2, 4, 6 and 8 layers), to the physical and mechanical properties of laminated secondary impregnated Carbon Fibre Prepreg Epoxy (i-CFPE) composites. It was then compared with laminated Carbon Fibre Prepreg composites without second impregnation (w-CFP). Samples were tested under tension, flexural and impact. Mechanical properties of i-CFPE increased with the increase of laminates layer in the composites. Furthermore, i-CFPE laminated composites showed better performances if compared to the w-CFP. |
