Automotive Interior Odors: An Unavoidable Challenge for Material Engineers
2025-07-10
Odor is both a sensory experience and a perceived measure of quality. In the confined space of a car cabin, the "new car smell" from plastics is not a symbol of luxury—instead, it often becomes a major source of consumer complaints. This article, grounded in engineering practice, systematically explores the sources, mechanisms, analytical methods, and controllable strategies related to odor. It ai...

Application of Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites in Automotive Lightweighting
2025-08-21
With the rapid development of the automotive industry, long glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (LGF) have been increasingly applied. Under the trend of automotive lightweighting, “replacing steel with plastics” has become a mainstream approach. By taking full advantage of LGF’s low linear expansion coefficient, high specific strength, high specific modulus, and excellent dimensional s...

Customer Project: PA12 filled Long Carbon Fiber in Bike Bottle Cage
2025-08-27
Application Background The bicycle bottle cage may look like a small accessory, but it plays an essential role. It needs to securely hold a bottle in place on rough roads, withstand outdoor exposure to rain, temperature shifts, and UV, while still allowing smooth insertion and removal. At the same time, riders expect it to be lightweight, durable, and visually aligned with the premium image of mod...

Composite Material Repair: Process, Methods, and Key Points
2025-09-01
Overview Composite material repair refers to the technology of restoring the mechanical properties, structural integrity, and functional performance of composite components (such as carbon fiber reinforced composites and glass fiber reinforced composites) that have been damaged during use or processing (e.g., cracks, delamination, holes, wear). With advantages such as high specific strength and ex...
