    Professor Aniruddh Vashisth of the University of Washington has developed a new, very strong, lightweight carbon fiber composite material


    The new carbon fiber composite material is as strong as the traditional carbon fiber, but has the advantage that it can be repaired repeatedly with heat


    Professor Vashisth said the heat source can be used to delay the aging process of his new carbon fiber composite material indefinitely


    vCFRP relies on glass fibers that can be linked, unlinked, and relinked, providing a kind of middle ground compared to the other two materials


    Today, one of the common uses of carbon fiber composite materials is wind turbine blades


    The recycling of materials made of carbon fiber composites (such as wind turbine blades) highlights a little-known challenge for wind energy


    If these blades can be made with new vCFRP in the future, it may be possible to simply update the blades with heat to make them ready for operation again
