Compression Molding of Chemical/Thermal Resistant Composite Materials Using Wastes of Glass Fiber Reinforced PTFE and Carbon Fiber

摘要

This report proposed the compression molding method of chemical/thermal resistant composite materials reinforced by the carbon fiber extracted from CFRP waste and the waste of glass fiber coated by PTFE. The FEP resin was used for the matrix material. The contents of carbon fiber and FEP resin were varied in the experiments, and the mechanical properties of composite materials were discussed in detail. As a result, the bending strength and modulus increased with increasing the content of carbon fiber. It is concluded here that the chemical/thermal resistant composite materials with high tensile properties can be obtained by using the waste materials of PTFE and carbon fiber. The molding system described in this paper shows promise as a contribution towards the recycling of waste of glass fiber coated by PTFE and carbon fiber extracted from CFRP waste.
