Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

From Wind Turbine Blades to Recycled Glass Fibers: Analytical Modeling and Lab‐Scale Recycling Protocol

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lab‐Scale Composite Dissolution Experiments were used for Prediction of Dissolution Duration. ABSTRACT Glass fiber‐reinforced thermosets are widely used in wind turbine blades. However, recycling these materials remains challenging because thermoset matrices cannot be remelted, and high‐temperature processes degrade glass fibers.
