每年有超过一百万吨的复合材料被用于制造风电机组叶片。但由于这些叶片采用热固性复合材料(环氧树脂或聚酯)生产,因此在报废后并不容易被回收。为解决这一问题,Arkema公司开发了被称为“Elium”的首款液体热塑性树脂,并可以使用与热固性复合材料相同的注脂工艺和设备。在美国IACMI支持下,生产出一支9m长Elium热塑性树脂风电机组叶片 More than one million tons of composite materials are used to make wind turbine blades each year. However, since these blades are made of thermosetting composites (epoxy or polyester), they are not readily recyclable after they have been scrapped. To address this issue, Arkema has developed the first liquid thermoplastic resin known as “Elium” and can use the same grease-dispensing processes and equipment as thermoset composites.
