This project focuses on researching sustainable materials for vehicle manufacturing, with a focus on reducing the environmental footprint of automobiles. The goal is to find materials that are both lightweight and eco-friendly.
Research Areas #
- Use of biodegradable polymers for interior components.
- Investigating carbon fiber alternatives for structural parts.
- Evaluating the recyclability of materials used in car manufacturing.
Technologies Used #
- Material science testing in laboratory environments.
- SolidWorks for testing material applications in vehicle design.
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools to evaluate environmental impact.
Achievements #
- Identified a biodegradable plastic alternative that can reduce interior component weight by 12%.
- Reduced carbon emissions by 20% through the use of recycled materials in vehicle structures.
