While composites are attracting broad market interest for their exceptional mechanical properties and lightweight nature, the absence of #sustainable #recycling solutions is a big drawback. To address this issue, the CBE JU-funded VIBES Project 2021-2025 introduces reversible #biobased bonding materials that allow for improved greener recycling technologies. ♻ In the recent #CBEresearch, this project bridges the use of reversible chemistries and composite design. Thereby showcasing the potential of a novel recycling approach, employing an external stimulus to chemically separate both the carbon #fibre and the #epoxy resin in composite materials.

Our infrastructure: Innovative research into the production of round fibres using melt and solution spinning processes 🧵 Around 75% of all fibres on the market are man-made fibres, and the most common methods for processing thermoplastic polymers into these fibres are melt and solution spinning. For the establishment of a circular plastics economy, it is of great importance to develop circular solutions for the production of these fibres. At the Fraunhofer CCPE, filaments and yarns for a wide range of applications - from textiles to building materials - are produced on state-of-the-art melt and solution spinning systems. Specific examples include roof underlays made of PP and PET (from recyclates) and geotextiles made of PLA and PBS with adjustable degradation behaviour. We have recently developed stereocomplex PLA filament yarns that can be used in mono-material composites - a decisive step towards improving recyclability. 👉 Find out more about our research infrastructure and how we are helping to shape the future of fibre production here: https://lnkd.in/djiXX2xV Over the coming weeks, we would like to introduce you to the technical equipment at the Fraunhofer CCPE. This will give you an insight into the equipment that our scientists use every day to shape the path to the circular economy!

Driving innovation in aerospace by advancing material sustainability, product durability, and performance.
Additive Manufacturing Solutions Ltd (AMS) is leading a new Innovate UK-funded project, Recycling and Reuse of Aerospace Materials for Additive Manufacturing (R2AM2). The project aims to explore using recycled metallic materials in additive manufacturing (AM), investigating their feasibility and performance in producing new aerospace parts. AMS believes this initiative could lead to a significant environmental impact by promoting sustainable material resources. The project targets the recycling of approximately 600 tonnes of aircraft parts into high-quality feedstock for metal AM, potentially revolutionizing the UK's supply chain and reducing costs. CEO Robert Higham emphasizes the importance of securing a sustainable supply chain for onshore manufacturing, positioning this effort as a crucial step towards achieving that goal. #AdditiveManufacturing #RecyclingMaterials #SustainableManufacturing /https://lnkd.in/gETaA97j

Senior Scientist @A*STAR Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy & Environment (ISCE2) || ISSP Member || Textiles Expert ||
“If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or composted, then it should be restricted, designed or removed from production.”– Pete Seeger Another great piece of work, we have published a critical review https://lnkd.in/g2ccUqnk of recyclable Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) in @Angewandte Chemie International Edition journal (IF 16.6) . CFRPs are highly valued for their lightweight, strength, stiffness, and resistance to extreme conditions, finding extensive use in sports, automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors. However, their traditional forms pose significant recycling challenges due to permanent covalent crosslinking in polymer matrices. Addressing the imperative of resource conservation and environmental responsibility, ongoing efforts focus on developing recyclable CFRPs by integrating covalent adaptable networks (CANs) with carbon fibers. CANs introduce reversible covalent bonds, such as ester, imine, disulfide, boronic ester, and acetal linkages, allowing CFRPs to be disassembled and reprocessed multiple times without compromising their integrity or performance. Advances in materials interface science are crucial for optimizing interactions between dynamic polymers and carbon fibers to enhance mechanical properties and durability. Future strategies will likely advance through innovations in dynamic covalent chemistry and materials science, promising sustainable solutions for high-performance composite materials and environmental stewardship. #resourcecircularity #decarbonisation #A*STAR Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy & Environment (ISCE2)
