Zusammenfassung:A method is described for repairing the surface of rotor blades or aircraft wings, comprising (a) a composite substrate; and (b) a protection layer having at least one area of at least partial damage, the method comprising (i) removing at least part of the damaged part of the protection tape; (ii) optionally, reconstruct the surface of damaged composite substrate; (iii) optionally, apply primer solution to the surface of the composite substrate; (iv) optionally, apply a polymer solution, preferably in at least one organic solvent; (v) applying a repair patch of a polymer tape comprising at least one thermoplastic elastomer onto at least of a part of the composite surface; (vi) applying heat so that the repair patch melts and covers the damaged area, thereby forming a protection layer.
