Carbon fibre in 2020s: Recycling pyrolysis
Read the condition on Carbon fibre before the nickname. Year 2020s, line “Recycling pyrolysis,” figure 230. Inclusions, voids, knots, pinholes or residual stress start the failures that mill certificates do not list.
This atlas treats Carbon fibre as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: high along fibre; low through-thickness in composites. Insulation score 24/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: fibre A1-ish; CFRP follows the matrix. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: Edison carbon filament; Shindo/Watt 1960s PAN, Japan / UK / US. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: graphene. Circularity mark 26/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Carbon fibre honest. The 2-D cousin in the same carbon family. The metal CFRP replaced in aero skins. EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire letter (A1–F), not a wall rating. Thermal conductivity in W/m·K. Lower means better bulk insulation.
The label keeps Carbon fibre, 2020s, and 230. “Recycling pyrolysis” is the condition on the figure.2020s
