“…8 CMCs enable high-energy, efficient processes for hightemperature applications and are under investigation in this capacity for use in hydrogen combustion systems, hydrogen engines for trucks, and gas turbines for aero engines. [9][10][11] With the growing awareness of the global environmental challenges, particulary those associated with decarbonization, the environmental impacts of CMC production are becoming more relevant, but little has been investigated in this area up until now. This means that, moving forward, sustainability issues must be considered in the material design phase to identify, quantify, and evaluate the environmental impacts (inputs and outputs) leading to "Sustainable Ceramic Matrix Composites" (SCMCs).…”

Over the past 40 years, development of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) has focused mainly on the improvement of material performance and optimization of cost-efficient production routes. Recently, more fields of application have opened up for CMCs, in which environmental impacts are relevant. These impacts have barely been investigated so far but receive growing interest due to increasing awareness of the environmental consequences. Our innovative approach frames material properties in relation to environmental impacts (e.g., global warming potential in CO 2 emission) by varying process parameters to balance optimum performance against environmental considerations. First, the process of wet filament winding has been investigated up to the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) state by changing both the curing and tempering temperatures. During the production of CFRP plates, mass and energy flows were tracked in each step. Three point-bending and interlaminar shear tests have been performed on the resulting samples to identify basic mechanical properties. The environmental impacts are determined by a cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), using the software SimaPro. The resulting tradeoffs between mechanical properties and environmental impacts show nonlinear behavior, thus revealing optimum points above which improved mechanical properties are associated with significantly higher CO 2 emissions.
