Abstract
Thermo-gravimmetric analysis was carried out on carbon fibre composite material under reduced oxygen conditions. The results showed that reduced oxygen levels had a significant effect on rate of the devolatilisation of the polymer but played a more important role in slowing down the char oxidation. Kinetic modeling has been undertaken and good agreement has been found with the experimental results for the full range of oxygen concentration and heating rates investigated. The model can be used to investigate the operation of carbon fibre recycling processes.
