Pioneering Cross-Disciplinary Thermoplastic Composite Sounding Rocket Airframe
Technology Introduction:
This technology integrates textile carding with polymer processing to develop directional recycled carbon fiber prepreg tapes for laser 3D-wound composite sounding rockets. Integrating a complete supply chain—from microwave pyrolysis recovery and prepreg/equipment development to advanced laser-winding fabrication—the final airframe is practically validated by NYCU’s ARRC. This convergence of rCF recycling and precision manufacturing successfully drives the industrial transition from sports applications to aerospace technology.
Industrial Applications:
Recycled carbon fibers are classified by length for diverse applications: short fibers serve as functional fillers in cementitious composites; medium-long fibers are compounded and pelletized for thermoplastic composites; and long fibers are converted into rCF mats via needle-punching. These flexible intermediate forms facilitate cross-industry integration, accelerating end-product development.
