项目摘要

In the EU, fleet auto emissions targets are set at 95g CO2/km by 2020 and 68g CO2/km by 2025 and the UK has committed to achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. One key factor affecting the emissions of CO2 from cars is weight - reducing a vehicle's mass by 50kg reduces its emissions rate by 5gCO2/km. Lightweighting through the use of composite materials is increasing, but the rate of adoption is limited by material cost and processing times. Thermoplastic overmoulding (TPO) addresses these barriers through the judicious use of high performing materials in local areas combined with the high rate processing capability of injection moulding.Our project will bring together leading researchers from the University of Nottingham and Michigan State University, with Surface Generation, a high technology and manufacturing company headquartered in the UK and with facilities in North America and Asia. Surface Generation's patented Production to Functional Specification (PtFS) technology enables manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive and consumer electronics sectors to work with composite materials, saving costs, energy and producing significantly lighter weight products.Our proposed research, building upon the highly successful predecessor project TOSCAA, will allow automotive Tier 1 and OEM suppliers to adapt overmoulding techniques in the creation of components for the UK, EU and Global automotive market.

在欧盟，车队汽车排放目标设定为到2020年95克二氧化碳/公里，到2025年68克二氧化碳/公里，英国承诺到2050年实现二氧化碳净零排放。影响汽车二氧化碳排放量的一个关键因素是重量--车辆重量减少50公斤，其排放率就减少5克二氧化碳/公里。通过使用复合材料实现轻量化的趋势正在增加，但采用率受到材料成本和加工时间的限制。热塑性包覆成型（TPO）通过在当地明智地使用高性能材料，结合注塑成型的高速加工能力，解决了这些障碍。我们的项目将汇集来自诺丁汉大学和密歇根州立大学的领先研究人员，以及Surface Generation，一家总部位于英国，在北美和亚洲设有工厂的高科技和制造公司。Surface Generation获得专利的按功能规格生产（PtFS）技术使航空航天、汽车和消费电子领域的制造商能够使用复合材料，从而节省成本、能源并生产出重量显著减轻的产品。我们提出的研究基于非常成功的前项目TOSCAA，将允许汽车一级和OEM供应商在为英国，欧盟和全球汽车市场创建组件时采用包覆成型技术。
