- Abstract
This study considers reprocessing of Carbon Fiber Polyphenylene Sulfide (C/PPS) thermoplastics over six generations to evaluate the resulting properties as a function of recycling and reprocessing. The mechanical properties achieved with recycled fibers were similar to those achieved with commercial long fiber thermoplastics (LFT). We investigated the influence of reprocessing through measurement of resonant frequency and damping by subjecting C/PPS samples from each generation to vibration excitation. We observed very little change in the vibration response of C/PPS, and thereby properties with each step of recycling with successive generations further corroborating the viability of multiple cycles of recycled carbon fiber in applications.
