| Abstract | The continuous growth in the use of preimpregnated semielaborated products to manufacture continuous carbon fiber-reinforced polymer parts has led the industry to face an important challenge in the management of the prepreg scrap, as the amount of waste produced can reach almost 75% due to the inefficiency of the cutting phase. In this context, this industry is pushed to move toward a circular economy approach by conferring a new use to their waste. The main problem arises from the fact that shortening carbon fiber leads to nonefficient mechanical reinforcement and that other thermal or chemical recycling approaches are environmentally hazardous. In this work, mechanical recycling of carbon fiber prepregs from expired virgin prepregs or scrap from an automated manufacturing operation is proposed as an economical and environmentally efficient method to obtain multifunctional coatings with Joule effect heating capabilities, which are demanded by different industries as a high-value product. As a coating, mechanical performance is not so relevant; nevertheless, obtaining high electrical conductivity by the incorporation of proper size and distributed short recycled carbon fiber can lead to a self-heating coating that could be used for anti- and deicing purposes or any other thermally activated function with very low power consumption. In this way, electrical conductivities up to 2 S/m were obtained, which allowed for achieving temperatures of 200 degrees C by the Joule effect in all samples in less than 17 s by the application of voltages below 48 V for bulk materials and 100 V for the coating. |
