Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) play a crucial role in industries such as aerospace, automotive, wind energy, construction, and sports in Australia due to their exceptional strength, lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. Typically, CFRPs are composed of carbon fibres and thermosetting polymers. However, CFRPs utilizing traditional thermosetting polymers have three significant limitations: petroleum base, flammability and lack of recyclability. To address those challenges, this project aims to develop bio-based, flame-retardant and recyclable epoxy vitrimer based on dynamic covalent bonds for application in CFRPs and establish sustainable recycling methods of CFRPs.
