Research and Markets: Materials for Next Generation Automobiles: Smart Technologies and the Demand for Lightweight, Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Spur Growth of Future Automobiles Materials
DUBLIN--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0c1d14/materials_for_next) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Materials for Next Generation Automobiles" to their offering.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Materials for Next Generation Automobiles provides an outlook for and analysis of the global industry developments and current technological trends of materials that are utilized in the industry of next-generation automobiles. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine a variety of materials in the structural and component sectors of steel, aluminum, magnesium, and polymeric composites. It also studies the electronics and smart materials segments, such as smart memory alloys (SMAs), self-healing materials, self-healing coatings, nano-electromechanical systems (NEMSs), and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMSs), for the markets of structural components, under-the-hood components, interior components, as well as safety and navigational devices.
Smart Technologies and the Demand for Lightweight, Fuel-efficient Vehicles Spur Growth of Future Automobiles Materials
A wave of bad press about the irreversible effects automobile emission has got governments and legislative bodies across the globe scurrying to minimize the damage to the environment. They have introduced emission standards as well as regulations regarding the use of recycled materials in the manufacture of automobiles, compelling auto manufacturers to use more recycled materials as well as advanced, lightweight materials that decrease vehicle weight and fuel consumption. End users' partiality toward fuel-efficient vehicles will boost the sales of automobiles, encouraging carmakers to persist with their new designs. "Automobile materials manufacturers have rung in changes in manufacturing and research and are now concentrating on creating more lightweight materials that are structurally strong," says the analyst of this research. "This is emphasized by research activities in the fields of high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium, and particularly, polymeric composites." Another distinct improvement is the use of nanotechnology to create more smart and electronics-based material systems that greatly aid in creating safer, more sophisticated automobiles.
