| Résumé : |
The wind power industry's move toward developing and manufacturing longer, larger, more productive wind blades requires advances in composites technologies used in their construction. Bayer MaterialScience, LLC developed a new class of stronger and tougher composite materials for the manufacture of 1.5+ MW turbine wind blades. These new low-viscosity, long-gelling VOCs, sustainable raw materials from renewable resources (soy), faster infusion times, and superior tensile fatigue,interlaminar fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth. For example, in tensile fatigue the polyurethane-based composite outperformed VE and epoxy by as much as 9 and 14.8 order of magnitudes. Whereas, at a peak load of 10000 psi the epoxy fractured at 93216 cycles and the VE at 57507 cycles, while the polyurethane fractured only after 849881 cycles. Additionally, in interlaminar fracture toughness testing (G1C), the polyurethane composite with its stable delamination G1C value of 3798 j/m2 outperformed epoxy by a factor of 2, and the vinyl ester by approximately a factor of 3. Similarly, the polyurethane outperformed both the epoxy and vinyl ester samples in fatigue crack growth testing at all stress values.
In this paper we will discuss the development of this new polyurethane class of resins and its implication in the manufacture of large wind turbine blades, and compare its performance in composite systems to systems made from epoxy and vinyl ester. |
