• Near- and supercritical solvolysis of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) for recycling carbon fibers as a valuable resource: State of the art (2012, background): “fluidized bed processing [20, 21] and solvolysis at near sub- or supercritical fluids.”
• Microwave pyrolysis as a method of recycling glass fibre from used blades of wind turbines (2012, methodology): “Pickering et al.(5) used a fluidised bed reactor to recover glass fibres at different temperatures.”
• Recycling and reuse of composite materials for wind turbine blades: An overview (2019, methodology): “Pickering et al.23,25 used fluidized bed to recover thermoset composites waste, and the bulk moulding compound (BMC) products was prepared by thermosetting resins and recycled fibers which replace some original fibers.”
• Composite Material Recycling Technology—State-of-the-Art and Sustainable Development for the 2020s (2020, neutral): “Mechanical ~78% [147] Fluidized-bed process ~50% [148] Pyrolysis ~52% [149] Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis ~52% (**) n/a Chemical ~58% [150–152] High Voltage Fragmentation ~88% [153]”
• Recycling technologies for thermoset composite materials—current status (2006, background): “These have suffered a 50% degradation in mechanical strength, similar to findings of other workers [25] and were incorporated successfully as 25% substitution for virgin short glass fibre in a polyester dough moulding compound with little reduction in mechanical properties of the composite.”
• Chemical recycling of glass fibre reinforced composites using subcritical water (2012, background): “But in the case of glass fibre reinforced composites, the fibres are strongly degraded [3].”
