Hierarchical Micro/Nano Reinforced Multiscale Hybrid Composites for Vehicle Applications
SBC: ADVENT INNOVATIONS LTD CO Topic: 17cLast year, vehicles transported more than $32 billion worth of goods each day and moved people more than 3 trillion vehicle-miles. Most of the vehicle fuel consumption goes to vehicle acceleration (kinetic energy), climbing hills (potential energy), and overcoming frictional forces, all of which are associated with the vehicle body weight. To reduce energy consumption in next generation vehicles, ...
