Abstract
Process Modelling of Thermoplastic Composites for Wind Turbine Blade: This work proposes process modeling simulation for future manufacturing of wind turbine blades using fully recyclable thermoplastic composites. The formation of crosslinks in thermosets composites makes them non-eco-friendly and difficult to recycle, resulting in a massive amount of composite material to the waste stream. The use of thermoplastic resins versus their thermosetting counterparts can potentially introduce cost savings due to non-heated tooling, shorter manufacturing cycle times, and recovery of raw materials from the retired part. Thermoplastic resin systems have long been discussed for use in large-scale composite parts but have yet to be exploited by the wind energy industry because of their manufacturability.
A newly developed ELIUM thermoplastics by Arkema has been studied for its unique combination of mechanical properties and manufacturability
