Overview

Experimental study demonstrates competitive impact strength but reduced tensile properties for recycled carbon fiber woven composites, highlighting the strong influence of reinforcement architecture.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the mechanical behavior of thermoset composites reinforced with woven fabric made from high-content recycled carbon fiber (rCF) yarn compared to unidirectional rCF and virgin carbon filament composites.
  • Produced a friction-spun yarn containing >90 wt% rCF from a carded and drawn sliver, then wove it into a 2/2 twill fabric.
  • Fabricated thermoset composites using resin transfer moulding across three reinforcement types: rCF woven fabric, unidirectional (UD) rCF yarn, and virgin carbon filament woven fabric.
  • Evaluated mechanical properties using tensile tests and Charpy impact tests.
  • The UD rCF composite achieved the highest mechanical values: tensile strength of 1173 MPa, Young’s modulus of 100 GPa, and impact strength of 87.7 kJ/m².
  • The rCF woven fabric composite exhibited a tensile strength of 227 MPa and Young’s modulus of 27 GPa, compared to 677 MPa and 55 GPa for the virgin carbon filament woven composite.
  • The rCF woven fabric composite demonstrated an impact strength of 70.1 kJ/m², comparable to the 66.2 kJ/m² measured for the virgin carbon filament woven composite.
