“…We suggest a new pathway for reducing cost of recycling by considering the mechanically recycled wind turbine blades as a feedstock for second generation composites [1][2][3]. In this method, first we analyzed the material thermally to find the thermal stability of the material and also provide an estimate of the composition of materials within the rWTB (Figure 1).…”

During the past decades many researchers focused on finding a solution for the wind turbine blades that faced end of life but the main challenge for all the previous research was lack of acceptable pathway that was viable economically. Because these blades currently considered as a waste, spending lots of energy and chemical material for them is not an acceptable solution, that is why we suggest an innovative method for solving this problem by considering mechanically recycled wind turbine blades (rWTBs) as a feedstock for making second generation composites.

“…Through previous research, the development of a composite panel derived from mechanically re ned rWTB was investigated using a thermoset adhesive as a binder [4,7,8] and the development of an extruded composite derived from mechanically hammer-milled recycled WTB using a thermoplastic matrix [9][10][11]. The objective of this research is to help further the development of the wind turbine blade recycling process by understanding what impact different compositions of balsa wood and berglass SCs have on the properties of the composite panels.…”

The utilization of wind power has increased almost exponentially during the last decade, leading to the growth in both the number and size of wind turbines. Modern turbine blades are typically made of berglass sandwiched around a balsa wood (BW) core. With an increase in the use of wind energy a collateral issue of what to do with the large and voluminous wind turbine blades (WTB) that reached end-of-life has arisen. Through previous research, we developed a recycling process that will keep these turbine blades out of the land ll by considering recycled wind turbine blades as a feedstock for second generation composite panels. The objective of this research is to further the research by understanding the effect that different compositions of wood and berglass have on the properties of these panels. Through testing, it was found that the addition of balsa wood increases the modulus of rupture (MOR) and the modulus of elasticity (MOE). The internal bonding (IB) strength values are well above that of typical particle board. All panels tested were visibly more resistant to water sorption than typical particle board. The thermal conductivity for all samples was within the typical range for particleboard. Fire test result indicates that the addition of balsa wood increases the heat and visible smoke release rate of composites.

“…One of the ways to recycle thermosetting and chemosetting composite materials with glass fibres is their fragmentation (mechanical recycling). By doing so, a filler is obtained that can be used to modify various materials, including polymer composites [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

This paper presents the method of using glass fibre with carbon deposit (GFCD), derived from the recycling of wind turbine blades, for production of composite materials based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Composite materials containing from 1 to 15 wt% of GFCD were produced by plasticising with a plastographometer and then by pressing. The processability and performance were studied. Mechanical properties in static tension, impact strength, and thermal stability were determined. Glass transition temperature was also determined by means of the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The GFCD percentage of up to 15 wt% was found not to slightly affect the change in the processability, thermal stability, and glass transition temperature. PVC/GFCD composite materials are characterised by a definitely greater elastic modulus with simultaneous decrease of tensile strength and impact strength. An analysis with scanning electron microscopy revealed good adhesion between the filler and the polymer matrix.
