Use of recycled carbon staple fibers in an advanced thermoforming process and analysis of its crash performance

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPC) are one of the promising lightweight materials in car production and show excellent energy absorption potential. In this paper, crash absorbers made of recycled carbon staple fibers (rCSF) and polyamide 6 are manufactured by an advanced thermoformin...
