Abstract

Thermoplastic composites possess robust mechanical characteristics, flexibility, the capacity to be welded, recyclability, and a lightweight nature. Wind turbine blades are increasingly being designed to achieve higher power output, larger dimensions, and improved cost efficiency. Consequently, there is extensive research being conducted on the utilization of thermoplastic composites in wind turbine blades. This study provides an in-depth account of the research conducted on the optimization methods for designing wind turbine blades using thermoplastic composites. It also covers the manufacturing joining processes and the attributes associated with these materials. The text provides a comprehensive examination of recycling and reuse strategies for thermoplastic composites, specifically focusing on their suitability for wind turbine blade applications. The future research on the utilization of thermoplastic composites in wind turbine blades has been organized and determined.

期刊介绍： Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development. The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
