Abstract

The subject of recovery and recycling of composites has assumed great importance since large-scale applications, especially in the aerospace and wind industries. Different repair techniques such as cosmetic repair , bolted repair , and bonded repair are described. This is followed by a description of different recycling techniques used for PMCs: mechanical recycling , thermal techniques, solvolysis , and microwave assisted recycling . Recycling of aluminum matrix composites and recycling of tungsten carbide particulate composites are described.
