We present catalytic, aerobic conditions for depolymerizing amine-linked epoxy thermoset matrix polymers commonly used in high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. Unlike other recycling methods, this process preserves the fibers aligned and woven in the same pattern as the parent material and returns valuable materials from the thermoset matrix.
