The gigantic wind turbine blade is a thin-shell structure made by composite materials – fiber-reinforced plastic, or fiberglass, that is light weight and of high strength.
It is a man-made composite material that changes the conventional properties of light and electromagnetic waves by designing and reorganizing the fine structure of the material.
Initially, graphene research into materials over the past decade has been composite materials, coating materials, membranes, for example, but we're seeing a big shift into construction materials.
One thing that has been happening in the field of aircraft manufacturing is that the aircraft are becoming lighter thanks to use of composite materials, as opposed to the aluminum or aluminum.
The other new technology on the rise is recycled and composite materials for the car chassis - like BMW’s i3 - whose passenger compartment is completely made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, making it much lighter.
