摘要

TENCate Advanced Composites and BASF have entered into a strategic alliance to cooperate on the development, production and commercialization of thermoplastic composite materials suitable for high-volume vehicle production. The main goal of this partnership is to offer car manufacturers custom-engineered solutions for high-performance composite structures, which enable this industry to further reduce weight and carbon dioxide emis- sion. The growing need of the automotive industry for composite materials used in mass production calls for a rapid development of materials and manufacturing processes.
