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...
