In spite of resin recycling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is very important as well-known on the viewpoint of environmental protection and resource conservation, the development of effective resin recycling had hardly been investigated. In this study, we investigated the operating conditions for microwave decomposition of CFRP using various alcohols as solvents. In order to avoid rapid absorption of microwaves into carbon fibers (CF), choline chloride was added to the solvent for microwave degradation. Ethylene glycol monoallyl ether (EGMA) was used as a solvent in order to reuse the resin part. Double bonds could be introduced into the resin degradation products. The preparation of cured products by condensation reaction by using the resin degradation products was also successful.
