The Use of Plastics in Automotive Industry and Analysis of CFRP on Impact Loads and Energy Levels

Plastics find the major application in automobile components and the interiors and exterior furnishings. There are many applications of plastics in automobile ranging from power trains, under the hood and chassis. Polypropylene (PP) is been widely used in the automobile sector in recent years. Polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene (PE) are the major plastics used that have been great demand in automobile engineering. But after certain period these plastics begin the degradation process, thus the use of the reinforced plastic is been on the large scale. These reinforced plastics are degradable in nature. Its high time need to test the reinforced plastic under impact load and energy levels.
