A simple and feasible chopped/hot-press method was proposed for multiple recycled carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The effect of regeneration times on the tension and impact properties of carbon fibre-reinforced polypropylene thermoplastic composites was investigated experimentally. The results showed that the r1-CFRTP specimen decreased by 69.34\% in tensile strength and 48.66 \% in tensile modulus compared with v-CFRTP. However, its tensile properties were improved with the increase of regeneration times (before 3 times). The impact strength of r2-CFRTP and r3-CFRTP is 12.65\%, 20.85\% higher than v-CFRTP, while r1-CFRTP and r4-CFRTP are 8.02\% and 7.06\% lower than v-CFRTP. When the third regeneration makes relatively excellent mechanical properties for recycled carbon fibre/PP composite, the chopped/hot-press method is a meaningful attempt at recycling and reusing the thermoplastic composites.}, number = {02}, urldate = {2023-05-07}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Ruan, Fangtao and Yang, Qingyong and Zhang, Bobo and Xie, Xinyu and Yang, Li and Xu, Zhenzhen}, month = may, year = {2023}, pages = {223--229}, }
