Carbon fibres are widely used in modern industrial applications as they are high-strength, light in weight and more reliable than other materials. The increase in the usage of carbon fibres has led to the production of a significant amount of waste. This has become a global issue because valuable carbon fibre waste ends up in landfill. A few initiatives have been undertaken by several researchers to recycle carbon fibre waste; however, the properties of this recycled material are expected to be worse than those of virgin carbon fibre. The incorporation of polymers, nanoparticles and other hybrid materials could enhance the overall properties of recycled carbon fibre waste. However, the degradation of fibre composites is expected to occur when the material is exposed to certain conditions and environments. The study of fibre composite degradation is crucial to enhance their properties, strength, safety and durability for future applications.
碳纤维因其高强度、重量轻且比其他材料更可靠，而被广泛应用于现代工业领域。碳纤维使用量的增加导致产生了大量废弃物。这已成为一个全球性问题，因为有价值的碳纤维废料最终被填埋。一些研究人员已采取了一些举措来回收碳纤维废料；然而，这种回收材料的性能预计会比原始碳纤维的性能差。聚合物、纳米颗粒和其他混合材料的加入可以提高回收碳纤维废料的整体性能。然而，当材料暴露于某些条件和环境时，纤维复合材料预计会发生降解。研究纤维复合材料的降解对于提高其性能、强度、安全性和耐久性以用于未来应用至关重要。
