Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites, or CFRPs, have excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratios, high stiffness, and the potential to bear dynamic loading in service ...

Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites represent a class of advanced materials that integrate the exceptional strength and stiffness of carbon fibres with the lightweight nature and ...

A polymer, functionalized carbon fibers and a crosslinker are mixed and cured. The components can be retrieved by addition of an alcohol, pinacol. In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department ...

In a win for chemistry, inventors have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and later recovering all of its starting materials. In a win ...
