Comparative analysis of the thermomechanical properties of soft PVC used in the automotive industry and bio-composite: A sustainable alternative

The automotive industry is highly impacted by technological advances, especially in the field of materials science and their impact on the environment. Most of the materials used in the automotive industry are of fossil source, such as PVC. Our research project aims to reduce the use of fossil materials in the automotive industry by using bio loade. Our study will compare the thermomechanical properties of soft PVC and a PVC bio-composite, and evaluate the environmental impact of PVC. Our results indicate that the bio-composite, composed of 90% soft PVC and 10% biomaterials, outperforms the soft PVC traditionally used in the automotive industry in terms of thermomechanical performance. In addition, the use of bio-composite can help reduce the environmental impact of the automotive industry.
