Low-energy-substrate adhesives pave the way for metal-plastic structures. An emerging trend in the automotive industry is the increasing use of metal/plastic hybrid structures. They incorporate metal-reinforcing members strategically attached to a plastic framework, combining the structural integrity of metal with the net shape and weight-to-stiffness advantages of fiber-filled plastics. The resulting structures help meet increasing mechanical demands while addressing disassembly and recycling needs at the end of the vehicle's useful life.
