They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength.
The Impact
Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars.

Some supply issues, such as the ones caused by the scarcity of substances and raw material shortages, are complex and difficult to overcome on short notice, especially in the healthcare area, due to high safety standards.
Having multiple sites also means there is always a backup site producing to the same high-quality standards.

As shown in figure 2, in high shear rate regimes, the viscosity is at the
lower end of the spectrum which helps the TPE to flow into and fill the thin-walled sections commonly
encountered during overmolding.
The testing is
conducted on a molded substrate with a TPE skin insert molded onto it.
Overmolding TPE for Acetal and their Copolymers:
Acetal is an abrasion resistant high performance polymer with a high degree of crystallinity (>98%).

The coloration of biodegradable polymers—such
as PLA, PHA, PBAT or blends—requires a careful
selection of pigments that must comply with strict
environmental standards.
