Taurine-Modified Boehmite Nanoparticles for GFRP Wind Turbine Rotor Blade Fatigue Life Enhancement

Advanced nanoparticle-reinforced glass fibre composites represent a promising approach to improving the service life of fatigue-loaded structures such as wind turbine rotor blades. However, processing particle-reinforced resins using advanced infusion techniques is problematic due to, for example, h...
