Abstract

Abstract: The recycling of carbon fiber/resin composites (CFRC) is critical for the sustainable development of carbon fiber industry and has received intensive attention from both the academy and industry. Recycling CFRC via supercritical fluid (SCF) is an effective and clean technique to recycle carbon fibers without damaging the properties of the carbon fibers. This article reviews the recent progress of the recycling of CFRC via SCF. The influence of the SCF system, reaction condition, and catalyst on recycling of carbon fibers are systematically discussed. Finally, the future development of the recycling of CFRC via SCF is also discussed in this article.

Key words: supercritical fluid, carbon fiber/epoxy resin composites, recycle
