OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Feb. 8 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
In a win for chemistry, inventors at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed a closed-loop path for synthesizing an exceptionally tough carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer, or CFRP, and later recovering all of its starting materials.
A lightweight, strong and tough composite material, CFRP is useful for reducing wei . . .
