An approach to chemical recycling of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin cured with amine has been investigated. Amine cured epoxy resin was decomposed totally when it was treated with nitric acid solution under certain conditions. The impacts of nitric acid concentration and decomposition temperature on recycling method were studied with decomposing time and the performance of carbon fiber as indexes. Epoxy resin matrix decomposed entirely after 23hrs at 95°C in the 8mol/L nitric acid solution. Scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) and monofilament strength were used to characterize the recycled carbon fibers.

The degradation behaviour of an anhydride-cured bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) epoxy resin in near-critical water was studied in this paper. The experiments were performed in a stainless steel reactor (100ml) without stirring. Epoxy resin could be decomposed successfully at 270°C for 30 min. The degradation rate of epoxy resin increased with an increase in reaction temperature and reaction pressure. The degradation reaction products were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The degradation reaction was associated with the scission of ester and ether bonds which further destabilizes the epoxy network.

An immersion test was made with an amine cured epoxy resin under nitric acid solution. Amine cured epoxy showed very poor resistance in nitric acid solution. An application of this behavior to glass fiber composite disposal or recycling was tried and discussed its possibility.
