The end

objective is to improve the interaction of various resin systems with the recycled carbon fibre in order to

improve the overall composite strength and modulus. This will deliver a low cost, low weight but high strength

material which is ideal for use in the mass automotive market.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
