The aim of this proposed research program is to establish the ability to manufacture a structural automotive component from a material with a density less than any structural metal using a process that is capable of meeting the cycle times required by the mainstream automotive market. The material system of focus is glass fibre reinforced polyamide manufactured via the Direct Long Fibre Thermoplastic (D-LFT) I compression molding process. Polyamide is chosen as a representative engineering polymer, while the focus on the D-LFT process is based on the ability to achieve higher fibre lengths, resulting in higher toughness, and greater suitability for structural applications.

这项研究计划的目的是建立用密度小于任何结构金属的材料制造结构汽车部件的能力，使用能够满足主流汽车市场所要求的周期时间的工艺。重点材料系统是通过直接长纤维热塑性塑料（D-LFT） I压缩成型工艺制造的玻璃纤维增强聚酰胺。聚酰胺被选为具有代表性的工程聚合物，而D-LFT工艺的重点是基于实现更高纤维长度的能力，从而获得更高的韧性，并且更适合结构应用。
