Researchers Unveil Novel Carbon Nanotube Recycling Method

In a significant step toward creating a sustainable and circular economy, Rice University researchers have published a landmark study in the journal Carbon demonstrating that carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers can be fully recycled without any loss in their structure or properties. This discovery positions CNT fibers as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like metals, polymers and the much larger carbon fibers, which are notoriously difficult to recycle.
