Long Fibre Thermoplastic Moulding Compounds with Reduced Environmental Impact: Eco-LFT

Eco-LFT项目将显著降低用于制造关键汽车部件（如前端模块、尾门和车门部件）的塑料模塑料的重量和对环境的影响。这些部件目前是由玻璃纤维制成的，玻璃纤维相对较重，来自不可再生资源，该项目将开发使用天然亚麻纤维的新材料。这些材料将减少车辆部件对环境的影响，因为它们来自农作物来源，并通过减轻车辆重量来提高燃料经济性。

The Eco-LFT project will significantly reduce the weight and environmental impact of the plastic moulding compounds used to make critical car parts such as front-end modules, tailgates and door components. These parts are currently made with glass fibres which are relatively heavy and derived from non-renewable resources, and this project will develop new materials using natural flax fibres. These materials will reduce the environmental impact of the vehicle parts as they are derived from crop sources and improve fuel economy by reducing vehicle weight.
