Abstract:Fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are well established for load bearing applications in the aerospace, automotive and wind power industries, due to their light weight and high durability. These composites are based on thermoset resins, consisting of σ bond-based linkages and aromatic backbones, embedding glass or carbon fibers1. In lieu of viable recycling strategies, end-of-use composite-based structures such as wind turbine blades are commonly landfilled1-4. Due to the negative environmental impact of plasti… Show more
