Article Abstract
Due exceptional properties such as its high-temperature resistance, mechanical characteristics, and relatively lower price, the demand for carbon fiber has been increasing over the past years. The widespread use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers or plastics (CFRP) has attracted many industries. However, on the other hand, the increasing demand for carbon fibers has created a waste recycling problem that must be overcome. In this context, increasing plastic waste from the new 3D printing technology has been increased, contributing to a greater need for recycling efforts. This research aims to produce a recycled composite made from different carbon fiber leftover resources to reinforce the increasing waste of Polylactic acid (PLA) as a promising solution to the growing demand for both materials. Two types of leftover carbon fiber waste from domestic industries are handled: carbon fiber waste (CF) and carbon fiber-reinforced composite (CFRP). Two strategies are adopted to produce the recycled composite material, mixing PLA waste with CF one time and with CFRP the second time. The recycled composites are tested under tensile test conditions to investigate the impact of the waste carbon reinforcement on PLA properties. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is carried out on composites to study their thermal properties.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are widely used in fields such as aviation and aerospace. However, subtle defects can significantly impact the material's service life, making defect detection a critical priority. In this paper, delamination defects in CFRP are detected using line laser infrared thermography, and a defect characterization algorithm that combines differential thermography with a frequency-domain filter is proposed.

Carbon-based nanofibers are critical materials with broad applications in industries such as energy, filtration, and biomedical devices. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is a primary precursor for carbon nanofibers, but conventional electrospinning techniques typically operate at low production rates of 0.1-1 mL/h from a single spinneret, limiting scalability.

Precise prediction of adsorption in a multicomponent system is vital for successful design of dye-contaminated industrial wastewater treatment processes. The present work looks for the reason behind the failure of the competitive Langmuir model (CLM) to describe adsorption in such systems, while the Langmuir model (LM) successfully describes the process for a single dye solution. With that end, derivations of LM and CLM have been revisited, and a criterion for the universality of active sites has been defined.

Materials and devices that harvest acoustic energy can enable autonomous powering of microdevices and wireless sensors. However, traditional acoustic energy harvesters rely on brittle piezoceramics, which have restricted their use in wearable electronic devices. To address these limitations, this study involves the fabrication of acoustic harvesters using electrospinning of the piezoelectric polymer PVDF-TrFE onto fabric-based electrodes.

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are essential for various industrial fields, but wrinkles inside will greatly reduce their mechanical properties. Full-matrix capture (FMC) is a popular data structure for ultrasonic phased array imaging in composites. However, such structure may lead to data redundancy and noise interference.
