The objective of BLADE2CIRC project is to develop a more sustainable alternative to traditional wind turbine Blades increasing the share of high-performance bio-based composite materials with enhanced recyclability towards a scenario of circular wind energy farms. With that purpose, new bio-based materials will be developed, such as carbon fibre or dynamic resins to manufacture composites. In addition, new self-healing coatings and reversible adhesives will be formulated. It will be completed with strategies of chemical and enzymatic degradation.
Aitiip will offer its knowledge and experience in coordination of European projects and composites manufacturing. The main technical task to be developed is the design and development of a bio-composite for the final blade, but also the synthesis of additives to provide the resins with dynamic behavior, and validating the self-healing performance of the coating. Finally, the safe and sustainability of the complete process will be assessed.
