5th EuReComp Webinar: Advancing Inspection & Identification Technologies
The 5th EuReComp Webinar explored advanced inspection and identification technologies designed to enhance the reuse and recycling of end-of-life (EoL) composite materials. The session was led by Camilo Prieto and Miguel Gómez Fernández from AIMEN Centro Tecnológico, who provided valuable insights into the role of AI, digital tools, and automated detection technologies in improving composite recycling processes.
New Research Milestones from EuReComp
Enhancing Safety in Advanced Manufacturing
EuReComp is pleased to share a new research publication in Materials MDPI, titled "Computational Fluid Dynamics as a Digital Tool for Enhancing Safety Uptake in Advanced Manufacturing Environments Within a Safe-by-Design Strategy." This research contributes to improving safety measures and digital adoption in composite recycling and manufacturing environments.
Restoring Performance of Recycled Carbon Fibres
Another significant milestone in EuReComp’s research efforts is the publication of the paper "Performance Restoration of Chemically Recycled Carbon Fibres Through Surface Modification with Sizing." This study highlights how chemical surface treatments can enhance the mechanical properties of recycled carbon fibres, paving the way for their reintegration into high-performance applications.
