In the run-up to the renowned congress Kunststoffe im Automobilbau, which will run under the new name “PIAE” (Plastics in Automotive Engineering) from 2018, Dr. Hans Wobbe will give the introductory lecture at the VDI Special Day “Plastic Foams in Vehicles” (“Kunststoffschäume im Fahrzeug”) on 13 March 2018 at the Congress Center Mannheim. Title of the lecture: “No lightweight construction without foamed plastics – Where do we come from? Where do we want to go?” (“Kein Leichtbau ohne Schaumkunststoffe – Wo kommen wir her? Wo wollen wir hin?”)
The lecture outlines the fundamentals of foamed thermoplastics, gives an overview of the different processes on the market and shows the limits of use of foamed plastics, as well as giving an outlook on conceivable future applications and processes.
