摘要
This study investigates closed-loop thermoset composite recycling through grinding and reincorporation. Contrary to many other studies, it is shown that by careful attention to the separation and reformulation procedure, the mechanical integrity of recycled composites can be improved, and the use of substantially larger volumes of recyclate is possible. Both factors are important aspects affecting the economic viability of regrinding as a possible future solution to the composites recycling problem. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
