Abstract

Fibre-reinforced epoxy-amine resins are common materials for wind turbine blades, yet they are challenging to recycle. Now, researchers formulate an alternative resin using biomass-derived polyester with easier-to-break covalent linkages, demonstrating the industrial manufacturability and recyclability of the resin with a nine-metre blade prototype.
