Wind energy is one of the important renewable energy generation resources for the solution of globalenergy problem. Wind turbine blades experiences wind and gravity loading which are critical factors for theperformance of the consideration for the materials used. E-type Glass Fiber with Epoxy matrix possesses high stiffness,low density and good fatigue resistance along with low cost, which makes them good candidate for the selection of windturbine blade material. In this paper, mechanical properties of E-type Glass Fiber with Epoxy matrix compositematerials are discussed with future challenges for materials in the field of wind turbines.
