The need to lightweight vehicles is highlighted in reports where it states that for every 100kg added to a vehicle, its fuel consumption is increased by 0.6 litres/100 km. In addition, the European Union (EU) wishes to limit the production of waste arising from end-of-life vehicles and to increase re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of end-of-life vehicles and their components. With these constrains in mind the current study involves the light weighting of polymeric components in automobiles by the addition of natural fibres from renewable sources. In doing so, both the weight and cost of the products can be reduced. This will also have the added advantage that the end product can be recycled through granulation and remoulding, and at the end of its usefulness this material can also be incinerated 2013-12-27T08:03:40Z 2013-12-27T08:03:40Z 2012-06-18 Other p. 1287 978-967-5760-11-2 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/30900 en The 2nd International Malaysia-Ireland Joint Symposium on Engineering, Science and Business 2012 (IMiEJS2012); Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) |
