Cover Story: Engineered nanomaterials are used as reinforcement in carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) to prevent debonding at the fibre–matrix interface, thus preventing composite failure. This study covers a comprehensive approach for evaluating occupational hazards during the sizing of carbon fibres at a pilot scale using multi-walled functionalized carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and few-layer graphene (FLG). The analysis included material hazard banding, a ‘what-if’ process hazard analysis investigating hypothetical process failure scenarios, human error and malfunctions in utilities, and on-site measurements of airborne particles monitoring the exposure potential to micro- and nano-scale particle concentrations, thus providing insights for the effective implementation of a safe-by-design strategy. View this paper
