Carbon fibre-reinforced composites are the modern materials of choice for lightweight applications, ranging from aerospace to automotive. But a challenge with such materials is end of life recycling., the nature of the materials themselves making this particularly difficult by physical methods. This project aims to develop new catalytic methods to digest the thermoset polymer matrices of composites, allowing fibre to be recovered and the matrix digestion products to be reused in a circular economy context. Initial objectives will focus on model substrates where the performance of homogeneous catalysts in the crucial C-O and C-N bond breaking reactions can be assessed. We will them take the most promising systems for further investigation with real composite materials.

碳纤维增强复合材料是从航空航天到汽车等轻量化应用的现代首选材料。但这种材料面临的挑战是寿命终止回收。材料本身的性质使得通过物理方法进行这一点特别困难。该项目旨在开发新的催化方法来消化复合材料的热固性聚合物基质，从而在循环经济的背景下回收纤维并重新使用基质消化产品。最初的目标将集中在模型基板的性能，均相催化剂在关键的C-O和C-N键断裂反应可以评估。我们将他们采取最有前途的系统与真实的复合材料作进一步的研究。
