Matrix and Filler Recycling of Carbon and Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Review

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are low-density, high-performance composite materials, which find important applications in the automotive, aerospace, and energy industry, to only cite a few. With the increasing concerns about sustainability and environment risks, the problem of the recycling of su...
