HYBRID COMPOSITES
Effects of Mechanical Recycling on Carbon Fiber-based Hybrid Composites
Journal Aspects: " Sustainability, Recycling and Biomaterials " were the primary focus areas covered in this issue.
The photo on the cover shows typical composite (mostly glass fiber) wind blades that are often removed from
service and replaced by longer blades. Recycling such blades is beginning to be huge market potentially. This
issue's lead article, by Helicoid Industries, Inc., and the National University of Singapore, looks at the use of natural
flax fibres (with epoxy) and glass fibre laminates using bio-inspired " helicoid " architectures for improved damage
resistance. Bamboo fiber technology was used by the combined group at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville
and Oak Ridge National Research Laboratory to assess overmolding textile grade carbon fiber tape and bamboo
fiber polypropylene composites. Environmentally friendly " bio-based thermoset resins " using distilled tall oils
(DTO) from biologically refined Kraft wood products in order to make composites within the vinyl ester family.
Ingevity Corporation (North Carolina) developed the product. The last article, looked at the effects of " mechanical
recycling " using recycled carbon fiber coupled with another fiber portion while exploring the effects on the various
mechanical properties of structural interest. The team from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and University of
Tennessee-Knoxville, teams with Ford Motor Company in studying the effects on ultimate properties. The SAMPE
Leadership article for this issue, introduces Dr. Kay Blohowiak, Senior Technical Fellow in Materials & Manufacturing
Technologies for Boeing Research & Technology. Kay, a SAMPE Fellow, is well known for her adhesive bonding
research and technology wok with over 50 patents and 90 publications. This Journal issue also contains a Tech
Tidbits that discusses the " materials technology market expansion " in today's post-COVID world of aerospace,
industrial and consumer segments.
