This paper discusses the feasibility of recycling fiberglass with an epoxy matrix by solvolysis in ethanol under supercritical conditions. The solvolysis process completes successfully within four hours in an environment of a pure solvent containing 10% water at a temperature of 280 \u00b0C when the solvent passes into the supercritical state. The treatment time increases up to 10 h at a process temperature of 250 \u00b0C. When using a coordination compound of copper(II) chloride with organic chloride salt having 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium as the counterion, having the composition of (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium)2[CuCl4], the treatment time is reduced. The addition of the complex of 5% by weight makes it possible to completely remove the epoxy matrix at a temperature of 250 \u00b0C for two hours. The products separated from the solvolysis liquid were studied by infrared spectroscopy. The resulting fibers were examined by thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The residual strength of the recovered fibers is 98%. Thus, the resulting fibers can be reused in the composite industry. Including both for the production of decorative products and for the production of structural products made of polymer composite materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15061559","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]],"date-time":"2023-03-21T06:56:48Z","timestamp":1679381808000},"page":"1559","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Recycling of Epoxy\/Fiberglass Composite Using Supercritical Ethanol with (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium)2[CuCl4] Complex"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5238-6388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander E.","family":"Protsenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Komsomolsk-na-Amure State University, 681013 Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra N.","family":"Protsenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Komsomolsk-na-Amure State University, 681013 Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2366-6708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga G.","family":"Shakirova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Komsomolsk-na-Amure State University, 681013 Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor V.","family":"Petrov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Komsomolsk-na-Amure State University, 681013 Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"262","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compositesb.2019.05.049","article-title":"Failure Mode Analysis of CFRP-SPCC Hybrid Thin Laminates under Axial Loading for Structural Applications: Experimental Research on Strain Performance","volume":"172","author":"Muflikhun","year":"2019","journal-title":"Compos.
