Sommario/riassunto |
|
"With the exception of advanced composites, mainly used in aerospace and defense applications, until recently plastics were not considered engineering materials. Now plastics have become important for several |

reasons. First, their cost-effective use has been demonstrated in demanding automotive structural applications. An important example is the all-plastic bumper used in the 1984 Ford Escort, which was capable of withstanding an 8 kmph (5 mph) barrier impact"-- |
