This year’s SAMPE Germany will be hosted by RWTH Aachen University, organized by AZL Partner Institute IKV (Institute for Plastic Processing in Industry and Craft). On April 2nd and 3rd, 2025, composite experts from research and industry will meet to discuss on the key topic “Clean energy and mobility: Shaping a sustainable future with composite…
Despite the predicted weight and cost advantages for various alternative multi-material concepts, today’s battery pack structures are predominantly made from aluminum and/or steel. As a first step OEMs are looking at replacing the less complex components, such as the lid and bottom protection plate, parts that don’t affect the battery pack internal design very much….
Natural fibre reinforced plastics (NFRP) combine a promising potential for lightweight applications with a significant carbon footprint reduction, compared to conventional fibre reinforced plastics (FRP). Additionally, the specific material properties of natural fibres can enable further advancements, regarding e.g. low density, low material costs and high damping properties. Especially for applications in mobility, these properties…
…this well-worn phrase actually works slightly different. But improving existing parts and technologies is often the best way to get the most out of a minimal investment. In this context, the question arises: can components that are currently produced in high volumes in the injection moulding process be optimised in terms of their carbon footprint…
