| Abstract Scope |
Plastics pose an urgent environmental challenge, accumulating as millions of metric tons of waste in our oceans annually. Properly managing the end-of-life waste from wind turbine blades (WTB) is crucial. Mechanical recycling of composite WTB enables the recovery of glass fibers (GF) that enhance properties compared to pure PAN polymer. Through dry-jet wet spinning, PAN/GF coaxial-layered fibers with 0.1wt% GF in the middle layer have been successfully produced. These fibers exhibit improved mechanical properties and lightweight characteristics. Notably, the composite fiber displays a remarkable 19.6% increase in strength and a 15% increase in modulus, making them highly suitable for diverse industrial applications. Their potential in manufacturing electric vehicle components can contribute to enhanced performance and energy efficiency in the automotive sector. |
