Graphene nanoplatelets are two-dimensional carbon structure materials with single or multilayers graphite plane which possesses attractive characteristics. In this study, the environmental aging effect on interlaminar properties of graphene nanoplatelet containing different proportions (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 wt%) reinforced epoxy/carbon fiber (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) composite laminates including interlaminar shear strength and fracture toughness were investigated. The interlaminar properties of graphene nanoplatelets/carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite laminates were improved over that of neat carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite laminates. Experimental results showed that the composite laminates containing graphene nanoplatelets possesses the appreciable improvement. The mechanisms responsible for the interlaminar enhancement were identified by studying the fracture surfaces using field emission scanning electron microscopy.

Fiber-reinforced plastic composite materials are increasingly used in many industrial applications, leading to an increase in the amount of waste that must be treated to avoid environmental problems. Currently, the scientific literature classifies existing recycling technologies into three macro-categories: mechanical, thermal, and chemical; however, none are identified as superior to the others. Therefore, scholars and companies struggle to understand where to focus their efforts. Patent analysis, by relying on quantitative data as a precursor to new technological developments, can contribute to fully grasping current applications of each recycling technology and provide insights about their future development perspectives. Based on these premises, this paper performs a patent technology roadmap to enhance knowledge about prior, current, and future use of the main recycling technologies. The results show that recycling macro-categories have different technology maturity levels and growth potentials. Specifically, mechanical recycling is the most mature, with the lowest growth potential, while thermal and chemical recycling are in their growth stage and present remarkable future opportunities. Moreover, the analysis depicts several perspectives for future development on recycling technologies applications within different industries and underline inter- and intra-category dependencies, thus providing valuable information for practitioners and both academic and non-academic backgrounds researchers interested in the topic.
