Evaluation of functionality and recycling of carbon/biomass fiber composite material
Mixing biomass fibers into plastic does not bring high physical properties so I will solve this problem by adding carbon fibers. Furthermore, I will carry out material design while bearing in mind compatibility and recyclability of the resin and fibers.
Polymers (plastic fiber) raise environmental issues regarding its separation, processing, and disposal, as well as its production. I aim to establish an environmentally-conscious composite structure design technology with improved mechanical properties, performance, and function.
At Kyushu Institute of Technology, I performed research mainly on “Chemical recycling of polyl (actic acid) by thermal degradation” and “Composite materials and functionality of lignocellulose nano fiber/general purpose resin.”
