ExoTechnologies and its partners have been rigorously testing the transverse tensile strength of ExoBlade™, a cutting-edge composite material. The tests focused on understanding how wind turbine blades respond to acceleration, crucial for larger offshore turbines. While carbon fiber still holds a slight advantage, ExoBlade™ significantly outperforms glass fiber, reducing the need for carbon fiber reinforcement in blade construction. This breakthrough promises not only increased safety and mechanical strength but also addresses end-of-life waste challenges in the renewable energy sector.
