Recycled carbon fiber reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) thermoplastic composites: fabrication, crystallization behaviors and performance evaluation

TL;DR: In this article, a surface-treated carbon fiber surface was cleaned and treated with a concentrated solution of nitric acid and then a solution of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A as macromolecular coupling agent so as to improve the interfacial adhesion between the RCF and PBT matrix.
