The application of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has increased substantially in
recent years as a result of need for lighter and stronger materials. Currently, the reuse and/or …

As the global demand for wind power continues to increase, there is growing concern about
the disposal of waste wind turbine blades, which are predominantly composed of glass fiber …

The large number of wind farms that will have to be dismantled in coming years is prompting
a search for reliable wind-turbine-blade recycling methods, but there is not yet a broad …

This research explores the sustainability of recycling polymer composites using fused
deposition modelling (FDM). The objective was to assess how different recycling cycles …

Abstract Raw-Crushed Wind-Turbine Blade (RCWTB) is a novel material from the recycling
and non-selective crushing of wind-turbine blades composed of fiberglass-composite fibers …

Thermal recycling is an attractive method for recovering carbon fibre from carbon fibre-
reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite waste. The main drawbacks of the thermal recycling …

Carbon nanofibers are a class of lightweight, high-performance composite materials. Their
bespoke porous defects, intricate multiporous channel topography, and substantial specific …

This study focused on laser patterning of the biomimetic microstructures of gecko and tree
frog patterns on the bonding surface of CFRP and AA5052 to improve their single-lap …

The growing demand for renewable energy has led to a significant increase in the
deployment of wind turbines globally. As these turbines reach the end of their operational …

Wind power will meet nearly 20% of the global energy demand by 2050, and the forecasted
increase in wind power capacity combined with the proximate end-of-life (EoL) of existing …
