2. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE
