The WIRreFa research association is intended to make the "Elbe Valley Saxony" region a pioneer in the processing and recycling of fiber composite materials. Through a cross-industry cooperation between universities, institutes and practice partners, the innovation location Saxony shall be further developed. In this starter joint project, initial possibilities for closing the material cycle for carbon fibers are to be proposed. This includes the preparation, recycling and reshaping of carbon. In particular, the step of preparation and
recycling in particular poses major challenges for the project partners. Through the targeted integration of practical partners, the gap between laboratory scale and industrial scale is to be partially closed. The joint project is one of 3 starter projects and is intended to lay the foundation for further research and establishment of the recycling of fiber composites in the various sectors (construction industry, automotive/aerospace industry, etc.).
In this joint project, the Institute of Construction Management and the Institute of Solid Construction at the TU Dresden and CARBOCON GmbH are investigating and developing, in particular, a process chain and a requirements profile for reused carbon fibers. By creating a numerical model and conducting calibration tests, a meaningful requirements profile for follow-up projects is to be created.
By creating the process chain and investigating the cross-industry use of recycled carbon, an optimization or specification of the respective manufacturing steps shall take place.
Participants:

Duration: 12/2022 to 01/2024
The project is funded by the "WIR - Change through Innovation in the Region" program of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under project number 03WIR6003.
