AUTOMOTIVE FOCUS AT NPE2009 WILL BE ON INNOVATIVE DESIGN, SUSTAINABILITY, AND PRODUCTION ECONOMY

Vehicle underbodies made from natural fibers and recycled plastics The project partners Fraunhofer WKI, Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research (TITK e.V.), Röchling Automotive SE & Co. KG, BBP Kunststoffwerk BBP Kunststoffwerk Marbach Baier GmbH and AUDI AG have succeeded in developing a sustainable overall concept for vehicle underbodies. It is made from #natural fibers and recycled #plastics. The researchers have taken a challenging component group with a high plastic content and made it accessible for the utilization of natural materials. Until now, natural-fiber-reinforced plastics have predominantly been used in #cars for trim parts without significant mechanical functions. Structural components such as vehicle underbodies are, however, exposed to enormous loads and place high demands on the bending and crash behavior of the material. In modern lightweight vehicle concepts, high-performance materials made from glass-fiber-reinforced plastics are therefore utilized. The focus at the Fraunhofer WKI was directed at the development of the materials for injection molding as well as the hydrophobization of #flax and #hemp #fibers for natural-fiber-reinforced mixed-fiber non-wovens. https://lnkd.in/eqDCiQdJ (Image: 政徳 吉田, Pixabay) #automotive #fibers #fibres #recycled #lightweight #cars #technicaltextiles

Ever thought about how plastics could revolutionize the way we drive? If not, buckle up! You're in for an interesting ride. Lightweight, durable, and versatile - plastics are the unsung heroes of the automotive world. They're transforming the way cars are designed and produced and are driving major innovations in the industry. Let's start with weight reduction. The lighter the car, the less fuel it consumes, right? And less fuel means less money spent at the pump and lower emissions. Cool, huh? That's where advanced plastics come in. They take up space, provide structure, but don't add a ton of weight. But it's not just about weight. Advanced plastics also contribute to safety on the roads. They're used in everything from seat belts and airbags to child safety seats. They're even in bumpers and door panels, absorbing impacts and protecting passengers. And let's not forget about design. Plastics give designers the freedom to create sleek, aerodynamic shapes and innovative interiors that simply wouldn't be possible with traditional materials. The use of plastics in the automotive industry is a trend that's not only here to stay, but it's also gaining speed. With the new breakthroughs on the horizon, who knows where we'll end up? Next time you're in a car, take a look around. You'll be amazed by how many parts are made from plastic. It's just another way the plastics industry is driving us into the future. #PlasticsInAutomotive #DrivingInnovation #AdvancedPlastics #FutureOfDriving #AutomotiveIndustry

Bosch Research developed a prototype housing for an airbag control unit made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material in co-creation with Bosch Mobility Electronics. ♲ This material, sourced from household plastic waste out of the recycling bin, has high emissions (odor), which usually disqualifies it for use in vehicle interiors due to OEM specifications (VDA 270). However, our researchers have successfully reduced the odor emissions using a proprietary method, enabling the material's use in vehicle interiors without any addition of new material. This breakthrough not only applies to airbag control unit housings but also holds potential for various other vehicle interior components, reducing the carbon footprint. This innovation was therefore recognized at the Special Award for Sustainability at the SPE AutomotiveAward 2024! 🎉 #BoschResearch #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy #AutomotiveAward2024
