The increasing societal awareness of, and preoccupation with recycling of materials poses a technological problem for composites, in terms of both recycling of products and reuse of waste constituent materials. Although economical, the resin transfer molding (RTM) process generates substantial amounts of waste fabric that is traditionally discarded. In this paper the reuse of scrap fabric through the fabrication of preform material and its subsequent processing through RTM is discussed. Performance levels achieved through the use of glass and hybrid carbon-glass secondary level recyclate preforms are reported and are shown to have considerable potential for further development. Dynamic mechanical analysis is also used to assess the viscoelastic behavior of the specimens.
