The Lina electric vehicle, developed by TU\/Ecomotive (the student team of Eindhoven University of Technology)<\/p>\n
employs a combination of a bio-based composite and bioplastics to create a lightweight chassis.<\/p>\n
The bio-based composite is made from flax, a plant that can be grown in the any moderate climate,<\/p>\n
and polylactic acid (PLA) from NatureWorks as the matrix resin.<\/p>\n
Further, EconCore\u2019s technology for cost-effective, continuous production of thermoplastic honeycomb materials<\/p>\n
yielded the bioplastic honeycomb, also based on PLA.<\/p>\n
The honeycomb core made of PLA \u2013 100% biodegradable resin derived from sugar beets \u2013 is placed between<\/p>\n
two flax fiber composite sheets to deliver a sandwich panel effect: high stiffness and strength at minimal weight.<\/p>\n
The bio-composite shows strength\/weight ratio similar to that of glass fiber.<\/p>\n
Electric car employs PLA resin in honeycomb plus composite structure<\/em><\/p>\n According to TU\/Ecomotive, the concept has the potential to drastically reduce the carbon footprint compared<\/p>\n to other lightweight materials used in the industry. The drivetrain of Lina is electric.<\/p>\n Power is supplied by modular battery packs, giving a power output of 8 kW using 2 DC-motors.<\/p>\n This allows Lina to reach a top speed of 80 km\/h.<\/p>\n To complement Lina\u2019s sustainability, she is equipped with several high-tech features.<\/p>\n For example, near field communication (NFC) technology implemented in her doors is used to detect and<\/p>\n recognize different users, making the vehicle highly suited for car-sharing platforms.<\/p>\n Yap\u0131sal olarak Bio-Kompozitlerden in\u015fa edilecek D\u00fcnyan\u0131n ilk otomobili hakk\u0131nda bilgi almak i\u00e7in a\u015fa\u011f\u0131daki linke t\u0131klay\u0131n\u0131z.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" World\u2019s first car made from bio composites makes global debut Plastics Today, Stephen Moore, Automotive and Mobility, 08.06.2017 The Lina electric vehicle, developed by TU\/Ecomotive (the student team of Eindhoven University of\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-duyurular"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1702"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1704,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1702\/revisions\/1704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kompozit.org.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
