EOLIAN – Bio-based, repairable and recyclable vitrimer composites and advanced sensors for highly reliable and sustainable wind blades
Wind turbine blades are made up of composite materials, but current wind blade composites exhibit relatively short life spans, are problematic to repair and are difficult to recycle. The project will develop an innovative new smart wind turbine blade, manufactured from an infinitely recyclable circular platform chemistry, with in-mould electronics (recyclable sensors and heating actuators) that detect damage early before it becomes a major issue.
MATIS4T, Innovative Sustainable Materials and Technologies for Transportation – description
The project aims to test and validate new solutions for materials and technologies for the mobility and transportation sector. Reducing the weight of components, using sustainable materials, including those derived from recycling, and researching innovative sensor technologies for passive safety components are the main issues that will be addressed.
