Abstract

Twin matrix composites (TMC) are novel composite architectures where reinforcing composite elements are embedded in a secondary resin to address various mechanical functions suited for diverse engineering applications such as morphing wings. Here, for the first time, a recyclable twin matrix composite using micro-pultruded rods as reinforcements will be manufactured. Within the scope of the work, the design of the TMC mould which allows 0°/90°/0° reinforced layup will be discussed and created through additive manufacturing. Recycling and remanufacturing TMC will be conducted up to 4 times, and surface characteristics of the rods will be examined to monitor the effect of recycling. Interlaminar shear strength of TMC made from fresh and recycled rods will be investigated comparatively.
