Data on the mechanical properties of recycled wind turbine blade composites

Abstract

Wind turbine blades that face end-of-life recycled mechanically. The recycled material was first comminuted via a hammer-mill through a range of varying screen sizes, resonated (polymeric Methylene diphenyl isocyanate (pMDI)) and then hand-formed and hot pressed. The hot press temperature and time were set as 138 °C and 5 min accordingly, typical for pMDI composite processing. Mechanical properties (Modulus of rupture (MOR), Module of elasticity (MOE) and Internal bond(IB)) dataset of composites made from recycled wind turbine blades(rWTBs) presented. Dataset also presented the influence of resin level, moisture content, mill screen size and density on the mechanical properties of composites [1], [2].

Experimental data on the mechanical and thermal properties of extruded composites from recycled wind turbine blade material

“…A high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (0.3 MFI) was obtained from a commercial vender and used as the matrix for the second-generation extruded composite. The rWTB material was hammer-milled through 3.18, and 1.59 mm screen size (MSS) and particle size distribution of the refined material was performed with Ro-Tap sieve analysis procedures [4]. A commercially available 60-mesh pine (P. stobus) was used for baseline comparison to the rWTB filled extrudate.…”
