PULLMAN,Wash. – A WSU research team for the first time has developed a promising way to recycle the popular carbon fiber plastics that are used in everything from modern airplanes and sporting goods to the wind energy industry.
The work, reported in Polymer Degradation and Stability, or provides an efficient way to re-utilize the expensive carbon fiber and other materials that originate up the composites.
