A lightweight, strong and tough composite material, CFRP is useful for reducing weight and increasing fuel efficiency of automobiles, airplanes and spacecraft. However, conventional CFRPs are difficult to recycle. Most have been single-use materials, so their carbon footprint is significant. By contrast, ORNL’s closed-loop technology, which is published in Cell Reports…

In a notable advancement for chemistry, innovators at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have devised a closed-loop process for synthesizing an exceptionally resilient carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and subsequently recovering all of its initial components.

In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptional

As the world races to enhance the efficiency of cars and other vehicles so as to control greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the range of electric vehicles, the hunt is ongoing for lighter materials that are sufficiently robust to be employed in the car’s body.
