The escalating demand for renewable energy through the use of wind turbines has raised concerns about the end-of-life of used wind turbine blades. Currently, wind turbine blades consist of a fiber-reinforced epoxy matrix. However, issues arise upon attempting to separate the epoxy matrix from the fibers when recycling. Next generation wind turbine blades may consist of poly(dicyclopentadiene) (pDCPD), an insoluble, cross-linked polymer network containing an unsaturated olefin backbone. In this work, we are proposing a method to depolymerize the pDCPD matrix through olefin cross-metathesis with a small molecule (4-octene). Olefin metathesis reactions have long demonstrated the ability to interchange chemical structures containing carbon-carbon double bonds, and may be used to break down an emerging wind turbine blade material by exchanging segments of the polymer chain with a small molecule. This research delves into the kinetics of olefin metathesis as a method of depolymerizing thermoset plastics through various reaction conditions. The rate of initiation was found to depend strongly on reaction temperature, whereas the extent of depolymerization was most affected by catalyst type. The project ultimately aims to liquify and repurpose wind turbine blade material, permitting the reuse of fiber reinforcements.
