Today's engineering applications require material knowledge beyond that typically possessed by mechanical engineers involved with automotive design. This book explains how chemists are taking on design responsibilities in the automotive industry and explores the critical role that polymers play in the design process. In addition to making automobiles lighter, polymers also make them more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, polymer films and nanomaterials are key to fuel cells, foams, and filtration systems under the hood. With over 20 years of vehicle design and laboratory experience, the author explores this shift and helps define a new role and new requirements for those interested in automotive design.
