Abstract:
The aim of the BIO-LICHT project is to develop sustainable light-weightmaterials and composites on the basis of renewable materials in the plastics
industry, and the transportation sector (manufacturing industry and
transport). Within the framework of the BIOLICHT project attention is paid to
the following subjects: mapping the possibilities for lightweight materials
on the basis of natural fiber composites in the construction of coachworks
and trailers; research on natural fibers and natural fiber composites to
manufacture agro-fiber reinforced synthetic materials with optimal
properties; the development of production processes for the processing of
natural fibers in composites; life cycle analysis to be able to choose
environment-friendly variants; and the development of product concepts on the
basis of new materials and processes. Several products were tested
successfully: a spoiler - light shaft by means of the Sheet Moulding Compound
(SMC) process; a raised roof for a jeep by means of the vacuum injection
process; and a headlight hook for a touring car by means of Resin Transfer
Moulding (RTM)
