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首选现代材料。但此类材料面临的挑战是报废回收，材料本身的性质使得物理方法特别困难。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，从而回收纤维并在循环经济背景下重复使用基质消化产物。最初的目标将集中在模型基质上，可以评估均相催化剂在关键的 C-O 和 C-N 键断裂反应中的性能。我们将采用最有前途的系统来进一步研究真实的复合材料。
