One of the problems with the use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) is the difficulty of recycling or disposing of them. Hence, it is necessary to find processes to treat CFRP wastes faster and more effectively. Because carbon fibers are good microwave absorbers, there is significant potenti...
