Creative use of plastics in cars

Abstract

The increasing use being made of plastics in vehicle construction is due to the concerted efforts made to apply the results of research and development work on raw materials and use these for large-scale production. This is important, since material costs account for more than 50% of production costs. In new and important areas however, car developers are lagging behind or are proposing solutions hardly likely to effect a real breakthrough. People should get out of this rut. What we need is innovation and creativity - and this is also the slogan of the 1984 Annual Conference on April 4 and 5 at Mannheim.
