Problems solved by technology

Due to the disordered shape and dispersed properties of fibers, it is difficult to ensure stable quality after cutting, which limits the comprehensive performance of composite materials used as reinforcements
In addition, fiber cutting introduces additional operation steps, which is troublesome to implement. At the same time, the cut carbon fiber is not suitable for the processing method of braid forming, which greatly limits its application field. Therefore, a large number of researchers are studying how to deal with recycled carbon fiber , such as Chinese patent CN108586797A discloses a method for recycling and preparing waste carbon fiber PA6 composite materials. Although this partial recycling method can maintain the integrity of carbon fiber tow to a certain extent, the recycling process involves many steps, which is not conducive to large-scale recycling operations

Embodiment 1

[0029] The bidirectional carbon fiber cloth recovered by pyrolysis was ultrasonically cleaned with ethanol for 1 h. Then the cleaned carbon fiber cloth was placed in a vacuum oven at 60°C and dried for 12 hours. Then the recycled carbon fiber cloth is non-woven and cut into rectangular pieces of 10cm×5cm for later use. Using conductive silver paste, two copper sheet electrodes with a size of 4cm×5cm were bonded to both sides of the cut recycled carbon fiber cloth, placed in a vacuum oven at 70°C, and dried for 3 hours. The dried sample was transferred to a closed box with an argon protective atmosphere, and the positive and negative poles of the regulated DC power supply were connected to the copper sheet electrodes. Use a voltage of 150V to conduct electricity treatment on carbon fiber cloth, and the voltage density is 3V / cm 2 , the power-on time is 1min. After energizing, take out the sample, remove the copper electrode lugs at both ends, use acetone to clean the carbon f...

[0032] Ultrasonic cleaning is performed on the carbon fiber precursors obtained by the method of supercritical dissolution of thermosetting composite materials, and the cleaning time is 1 h. Then the cleaned carbon fiber cloth was placed in a vacuum oven at 60°C and dried for 12 hours. Then the recycled carbon fiber cloth is non-woven and cut into 8cm×6cm rectangular pieces for later use. Two pieces of copper foil with a size of 6 cm × 5 cm were bonded on both sides of the cut recycled carbon fiber cloth with conductive adhesive IAC, and placed in a vacuum oven at 70 ° C for 3 h. The dried sample was transferred to a closed box with an argon protective atmosphere, and the positive and negative electrodes of the regulated DC power supply were connected to the copper foil. Use a voltage of 120V to conduct electricity treatment on carbon fiber cloth, and the voltage density is 2.5V / cm 2 , power-on time is 3min. After electrification, take out the sample, remove the copper foil...

Abstract

The invention relates to a retreatment method of recycled carbon fibers. The retreatment method comprises the following steps of (1) preparing the recycled carbon fibers into a recycled carbon fiber felt body; (2) cleaning and drying the recovered carbon fiber felt body to remove surface impurities; and (3) connecting lugs to the two ends of the recycled carbon fiber felt body, connecting the recycled carbon fiber felt body with a power supply through the lugs, performing high-voltage treatment, taking down the lugs after treatment, and performing cleaning and drying to obtain a product. Compared with the prior art, the method is wide in application range and can be suitable for carbon fiber products which have different resin residues and are recycled by using different methods. Meanwhile, the treatment time is short, and it can be guaranteed that the performance of the carbon fibers is improved under low energy consumption.
