Market Opportunity
The global demand for carbon fiber composites is expected to reach 146,000 tons per year in 2020, consuming 89,000 tons of carbon fiber. Current composite recycling methods focus on recovery and reuse of only carbon fibers. Polymer matrices in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) can be of substantial value, yet they...
