Abstract

Different technologies based on solvolysis were applied to degrade an epoxy resin model and a carbon fibre reinforced RTM6 epoxy resin representative of aerospace applications: CO₂-expanded water and generally recognised as safe solvents used neat or in mixture with water. The most efficient solvolysis conditions were then selected to scale up the process and to recover carbon fibres, which were subsequently reused to make new materials.
