Thermoplastic polymer composite architecture: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Delamination and structural failure in lightweight vehicle parts increase warranty costs and safety risks. These innovations control the interfacial bonding and layer sequencing to ensure structural integrity during high-stress operation.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Thermoplastic polymer composite architecture?

Excessive vehicle structural weight

(20)evidences

High mass in automotive assemblies limits fuel efficiency and increases emissions. Reducing component weight through thermoplastic integration improves vehicle range and performance.

Interior component surface wrinkling

(11)evidences

Structural shifting and fiber misalignment during the transition from textile semi-finished products to complex three-dimensional shapes. Preventing these defects ensures dimensional accuracy and structural integrity in multi-component composite manufacturing.
