Biocomposite and Synthetic Composites for Automotive Application

Biocomposite and Synthetic Composites for Automotive Applications provides a detailed review of advanced macro and nanocomposite materials and structures and discusses their use in the transport industry, specifically for automotive applications. This book covers materials selection, properties and performance, design solutions, and manufacturing techniques. A broad range of different material classes are reviewed with emphasis on advanced materials and new research pathways where composites can be derived from agricultural waste in the future, as well as the development and performance of hybrid composites. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis of composite products in automotive application is also discussed, and the effect of different fibre orientation on crash performance, synthetic/natural fibres composites for aircraft engine fire designated zones are also linked to automotive application. Additional chapters are included on the application and use of magnesium composites and its comparison to biocomposites in the automotive industry, autonomous inspection and repair of aircraft composite structures via vortex robot technology and its application in automotive applications, composites in a three-wheeler (tuk tuk), and thermal properties of composites in automotive applications. The book will be an essential reference resource for those researching materials development and industrial design engineers who need a detailed understanding of materials usage in transport structures.
