Sustainable shape formation of multifunctional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites: A study on recent advancements

Abstract

Shaping multifunctional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has gained significant attention in recent times. This study investigates the progress made in developing environmentally friendly techniques for shaping CFRP composites. The focus is on achieving sustainable manufacturing processes while maintaining the desirable properties of CFRP composites. Therefore, this review article examines the impact of machining, tools, monitoring, and cooling techniques on CFRP composites. Delamination factors are also considered from a materials engineering standpoint. The objective is to meet diverse application needs and enhance CFRP machining processes, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices in shaping the future of composite materials.
