Abstract
Wind turbine blades are usually made of glass fibre reinforced epoxy. But with the wind power industry growing fast, the quest is on to find less time consuming production processes. Yes, if we could only replace that epoxy by a thermoplastic, we could build those blades so much faster. They've been making headway on this at the Delft University of Technology, as freelance journalist Django Mathijsen reports.
