dc.abstract.enNowadays, a significant increase in interest in renewable energy sources can be observed. Wind farms have been one of the solutions representing this trend for many years. One of the important elements of windmills is the blades. The data indicate that what to do with the blades after their use is a global problem, and so it is important to find a way to recycle them. Hence, this work aimed to use these blades in the production of wood-based materials. Two fractions of a fragmented blade were used for the tests: a small one and large one. Boards characterized by densities of 650 kg/m3 and 700 kg/m3 were produced, in which the assumed substitution of the wood material with a polymer was 20% or 40%. Mechanical properties such as bending strength (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and internal bond strength (IB) were investigated. The 2S65 variant achieved the highest static bending strength and a modulus of elasticity of 2625 N/mm2. The second best result was noted for the 4S65 variant, which was significantly different from the 2S65 variant. In the case of the variants with a density of 700 kg/m3, no significant differences were found and their results were significantly lower. Moreover, research on thickness swelling (TS) after 24 h of immersion and water absorption (WA) were also conducted. The obtained results indicate that the manufactured boards are characterized by good physical and mechanical properties.
