In this study recyclable Twin Matrix Composites (TMC) have been developed and analysed. The reinforcements of these composites are pultrdued rods, which are made from carbon fiber and Bisphenol A Epoxy. These rods are embbed in a secondary matrix which is made from a bio-based epoxy resin and recyclamine curing agents.
This study focuses on the interlaminar properties of these TMCs and how they are impacted by recycling. The results indicate that the change in rod/secondary-matrix interface due to recycling is insignificant. This suggests that these TMCs can be considered as favourable condidates in for sustainable composite industries.
