Efficient recovery of carbon fibers from carbon fiber-reinforced polymers using direct discharge electrical pulses

Abstract Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are lightweight, high-strength composite materials that are widely used in various industries. However, recycling CFRPs remains a significant challenge because of the difficulty in separating carbon fibers (CFs) from the polymer matrix. This study co...
