Within the framework of the research project that the University Institute of Ceramic Technology of the Universitat Jaume I is carrying out in collaboration with the companies Siemens-Gamesa and Clam Desarrollo and with the AIMPLAS plastic technology centre (EOLO+), the methods for characterising the materials used to make wind turbine blades have been fine-tuned.

Increasing the dimensions of wind turbine blades, which is necessary to increase the production of wind energy, has a series of technical limitations associated with it, due to the fact that the end of the blade of the wind turbine is subjected to greater speeds and the particles and drops of water that impact on it become projectiles that deteriorate the surface of the blade, which not only weakens its structure, but also reduces the resistance of the materials, which reduces the durability of the blade.

The characterisation methods developed determine both the properties of the new materials obtained, such as flow curve, viscosity, curing time, etc., as well as those of the coatings developed: chromatic coordinates, brightness, opacity, coating thickness, adhesion, flexibility, ageing due to UV radiation, wear due to erosion, wear due to rain erosion, etc.

The project (RTC-2017-6341-3) has been financed jointly by ERDF funds and the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through the State Research Agency.
