A light material for wind turbine blades

Nowadays, people have built mega-watt scales of wind turbines to generate electricity from wind energy. These big scales of wind turbine blade need lighter materials in order to optimize the generation of electricity. Due to this issue, purpose of this paper is to find a light material which is suit...
