They have manufactured the moulds and adapted the methodology to form the various different materials in complex geometries.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Eurecat researcher, innovation in composite materials \u201cmay be key for the car sector\u201d in providing an answer \u201cto the legal requirements to reduce emissions by 2020, as well as the demand for light and robust materials in electric vehicles\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect the consumption of polymeric matrix composites will double in less than three years\u201d, given that their features offer \u201cgreat interest for the aviation, land, railway and naval transport sector\u201d, adds Rodr\u00edguez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eurecat is looking at improvements in the mechanical properties of composites for cars Researchers at the technological centre are studying the hybridization of reinforcing yarns and fabrics and the introduction of microwaves to improve the manufacturing cycle.
