Recycling of anhydride-cured epoxy resin-based carbon fiber-reinforced composites via a β-phenethyl alcohol/TBD catalytic system
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are widely applied due to their outstanding mechanical properties. However, the intrinsic difficulty in recycling their thermoset resin matrix has led to serious environmental pollution and resource waste, becoming a major bottleneck hindering the sustainable development of CFRPs. In this study, a green and efficient chemical recycling strategy was developed by constructing a synergistic catalytic system composed of β-phenylethanol and 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), enabling the rapid degradation of anhydride-cured epoxy-based CFRPs under mild conditions (190 °C, atmospheric pressure). By optimizing the mass ratio of the catalyst to the composite material [TBD : CFRP (wt : wt) = 1 : 3.27], nearly complete resin degradation (>99%) was achieved within 2 hours. The reclaimed carbon fibers retained up to 93.2% of their original single-fiber tensile strength. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirmed that no significant deterioration occurred in the surface chemical functionalities or the degree of graphitization of the reclaimed fibers compared to the pristine ones. This work offers a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for the closed-loop recycling of thermoset-based CFRPs.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
