Introduction: In this project, we going to see the polymers use in Exterior trim in Automotive, discuss the advantages and disadvantages, and see some examples on polymer used in Exterior trim but first What is the Exterior trim? It is any part use on the outside body of the car to protect other parts or just to add aesthetic look on the car like bumpers, car tyers and door handles...….etc. The figure below show some exterior part made of plastic: (Plastic still has a poor image even today
reinforcing fibers (glass, carbon, kevlar). Advantages of natural fibers over traditional ones are low cost, high toughness, low density, good specific strength properties, reduced tool wear (nonabrasive to processing equipment), enhanced energy recovery, CO2 neutral when burned, biodegradability. Because of their hollow and cellular nature, natural fibers perform as acoustic and thermal insulators and exhibit reduced bulk density [29,30]. Some of the disadvantages and limitations of natural fibers, when
the elements are combined together to achieve a system which is more useful and more functional than any of the constituent alone. Composite materials are becoming more and more important to today’s material due to the advantages it brings to us. Some clear evidence of the advantages of composite materials is that composite materials are low in weight, resistant against corrosion, has high fatigue strength etc. Nowadays, they are widely used in the manufacturing of aircraft structures, electronic packaging
