Recycling research finds new process to transform glass fiber-reinforced plastic into silicon carbide

Glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP), a strong and durable composite material, is widely used in everything from aircraft parts to windmill blades. Yet the very qualities that make it robust enough to be used in so many different applications make it difficult to dispose of—consequently, most GFRP waste is buried in a landfill once it reaches its end of life. According to a study published in Nature Sustainability, Rice University researchers and collaborators have developed a new, energy-efficient upcycling method to transform glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) into silicon carbide, widely used in semiconductors, sandpaper, and other products. "GFRP is used to make very large things, and for the most part, we end up burying the wing structures of airplanes or windmill blades from a wind turbine whole in a landfill," said James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor and professor of chemistry and of materials science and nanoengineering. "Disposing of GFRP this way is just unsustainable. And until now, there has been no good way to recycle it."

Fibers used in composite materials for racing car applications - Part 1: Characteristics, glass and carbon fibers

A composite material is made from the combination of two components, the matrix and fibers. The first is basically a binder for all fibers of the laminate. These are the compounds in charge of the laminate strength. They can be disposed in several ways as unidirectional, bi-directional and multi-directional. Usually fibers are bonded to the matrix in order to form a ply or a lamina. The coupling…

I love a rainbow quilt and I love love love the way that fabric designer Alison Glass colors her fabrics. So this quilt was a delight to work on and kept me smiling thru out the process. There are about 30 hours in the quilting of this one.

Another recent piece, also untitled - blown glass, crochet, handmade + dyed rag rug, and found metal armature

Bonus spider that got caught in the sculpture under the cut

tfw ur spider boyfriend is actually a cat

also a fluffy version bc im incapable of drawing anything that doesn’t induce cavities

#spider man: across the spiderverse #spider punk #spider noir #hobie brown #noirpunk #thanks to voidpants for the initial idea & the discord for building on it!!!#fluffy version under cut <3 #a good amt of spiders have this thing called a tapetum over some of their eyes #essentially its a layer of fibers or CRYSTALS over their eyes that doubles nighttime sensitivity #(many mammals like cats also have this. we don’t bc we’re god’s worsties)#so at night if noir has tapeta he can actually see twice as good #no glasses! just this once!!!#if ur bf looked at u at night and u saw full on nictitating membrane cat eyes youd be freaked too #for abt 0.1 seconds before the FUCK THATS COOL factor shows up #or is that just me #i firmly believe hobie is lazy and just uses silk/satin pillowcases instead of a bonnet #but then i liked it too much when i drew it waaaah #hm…… they’re in love

Corrie Guard: Fox & Patches

@megneato did two more AMAZING commissions for me (the first was Ma Dong-Seok as Paz Vizsla, he’s beautiful, go look at him), which was to help get my headcanon down for what Fox looks like, and a design for my Corrie Medic OC, Patches! (I belatedly realized that is a common medic OC name. I am. Not sorry. ...or original.)

CC 1010: FOX

tired

like, so fucking tired

Constantly Vibrating Ball of Rage

hair gone white from stress and torture via Evil Sith Shenanigans

lightning scars around his neck, continue below armor on the right side of his torso

no tattoos so that he could pass as some of the other clones (this works up until the scarring and the trauma hair)

CT 9113: PATCHES

MASSIVE baby bro/vod’ika vibes, is from one of the more recent batches

very gentle and sweet and smiley

name comes from his patchwork scars, which were the result of being yeeted through a pane of glass (exact scenario as of yet undecided)

does actually have a kind bedside manner, but do not be fooled: he will also use the big sad eyes RUTHLESSLY

‘i’m not mad, just disappointed’ except instead of disappointed dad it’s your little brother who looks up to you and thinks the world of you and now you let him DOWN

that said, if he’s visibly angry, you should probably run.

It's estimated that by 2030 carbon and glass fibre composites (CFRP), materials commonly used in wind turbine blades, hydrogen tanks, airplanes, yachts, construction, and car manufacturing, will be a key waste stream worldwide. The annual accumulation of CFRP waste from aircraft and wind turbine industries alone is projected to reach 840,300 tonnes by 2050 -- the equivalent of 34 full stadiums -- if suitable recycling methods are not adopted. While recycling methods do exist, most of this waste currently goes to landfill or is incinerated. The production of "virgin" composites has further implications for the environment too, including resource depletion and high energy input during production. This is despite the existence of numerous methods to recycle carbon fibre composites which a research team at the University of Sydney says, if fully implemented, have the potential to significantly reduce energy use by 70 percent and prevent key streams of materials from going to waste.

pst. you should buy things from my sister. tbh. also remember the store takes comissions! message the shop to make requests :) my sister is physically disabled and this is what she's been doing to support her family since she can't work. the etsy store is my mom's and you can find things that she made as well!

if someone beats you to something you want, we take commissions! if you don't see exactly what you want but you have an idea of something we can make, we take commissions! my sister beads and my mom beads and crochets :)

reblogs really help! they are also free.
