FURHY: Fully Recyclable HYbrid bio-composite for transport applications

该项目旨在开发一种新的、生物基的、智能的、完全可回收的复合材料，通过快速、低能耗的高压灭菌法获得。该基质将由一种新型的生物基环氧树脂配方制成，该配方由膨胀石墨（EG）填充，它将在材料和制造工艺的增强方面发挥多重作用，提供智能功能。将开发一种混合复合材料，使用大麻和再生碳纤维（rcf），从而从生命周期的角度最大限度地提高环境效益。杂交将利用两种纤维的优点，最大限度地减少相关的缺点。制造过程将包括一个低能量版本的预浸料压缩成型（PCM）。航空和汽车领域是主要的兴趣领域。

The project aims at the development of a new, bio-based, smart and completely recyclable composite material, obtained by fast and low energy consumption out-of-autoclave process. The matrix will be made by a new bio-based epoxy resin formulation filled by expanded graphite (EG), that will have a multiple role in the enhancement of both material and manufacturing process, providing smart-functions. A hybrid composite will be developed, by the use of hemp and recycled carbon fibers (rCFs), thus maximizing the environmental benefits with a life-cycle perspective. The hybridization will let to exploit the advantages offered by both fibers, minimizing the relevant drawbacks. The manufacturing process will consist in a low energy version of the prepreg compression moulding (PCM). Aeronautics and automotive field are the main sectors of interest.
