商品簡介
This book provides critical reviews and the latest research results and applications of various lightweight materials in automotive. It provides current applications and future trends of lightweight materials in automotive area. There are a few books published on lightweight materials in automotive applications mainly focusing on metallic lightweight materials, but there is no book focusing on lightweight materials including, metal, plastic, composites, biofiber, biopolymer, carbon fiber, glass fiber, nanomaterials, rubber materials, and foaming materials, which this book covers. It also includes case studies of commercial lightweight automotive parts from sustainable lightweight materials.
