Polymeric Materials for Automotive Applications - Why Plastics in Cars Matter

🎥 My Polymer Engineering playlist on the Channel!:    • Polymer Engineering   🎥 My Polymer Material Selection playlist on the Channel!:    • Polymer Material Selection For Automotive ...   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this video we will uncover which plastics are used for which parts in the car. In the past 40 years plastic materials incrementally found their way into automobiles. The applications using polymeric materials and composites indicate further growth in the future as well. The utilization of plastics supports weight reduction and fuel economy. However, this is not the only reason plastics are used. The design freedom associated to plastics allows new approaches in the design of parts and lead to increased innovation such as the integration of different parts and material combinations. Additionally, plastic parts show minimum corrosion when compared with metals which improve vehicle lifetime. Last but not least, plastics enhance vehicle safety, comfort and and are recyclable as well.
