The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will use recycled carbon fibers to fabricate composite materials suitable for use in the transportation sector. As recycled carbon fibers have properties that differ from those of virgin carbon fibers, conventional composite processing techniques cannot be used for fabricating composites from these recycled fibers. Thus, the overall goal of this Phase I effort is to prove the technical feasibility of using one or more composite processing techniques for fabricating new composites using recycled carbon fibers. Use of the proposed composite materials would help in reducing the weight of vehicles, thereby increasing fuel economy; and would divert carbon fiber composite wastes from landfills toward new automotive applications. The development of new recycled carbon fiber parts fabrication and and processing technologies will enable the resuse of the carbon fibers in areas where the use of this high performance raw material has been limited in the past by high production and raw material costs.

小企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将使用回收的碳纤维来制造适用于交通部门的复合材料。由于再生碳纤维具有与原始碳纤维不同的特性，传统的复合材料加工技术不能用于用这些再生纤维制造复合材料。因此，第一阶段工作的总体目标是证明使用一种或多种复合材料加工技术来制造使用回收碳纤维的新复合材料的技术可行性。使用建议的复合材料将有助于减轻车辆的重量，从而提高燃油经济性；并将把碳纤维复合材料废物从垃圾填埋场转移到新的汽车应用中。新的再生碳纤维零件制造和加工技术的开发将使碳纤维在过去因生产和原材料成本高而限制使用这种高性能原材料的领域得到重新利用。
