Research project: sol-gel derived rain erosion resistant coating for wind turbine blades
Abstract
The aim of this project is to develop a new rain erosion resistant coating for wind turbine blades by using sol-gel technique; using carbon nanoparticle in the structure of the coating to enhance the mechanical properties of the coating is the other goal of this project. This coating is required to be cured at room temperature to save the energy of the curing process and also the thickness of the coating needs to be maximum 10 micro meter so it will not have any effect on the weight of the blade and aerodynamic structure of the blade as well. The main duty of the coating is to protect the blade from rain erosion but it is desired to make it multifunctional coating.
