Abstract

Polyolefins in automobiles have experienced a great deal of interest in the last twenty years, and their applications have been increasing with a tendency of further growth compared with other materials used in automobiles. The major advantages of polyolefin materials are their functionality, cost-effective manufacturing methods, and comparatively lower fuel consumption. In automobiles, the polymeric materials can be used in the internal and external areas, in the engine section, and in the bodywork. Polyolefin can be shaped easily, their surface can be smooth, and they are chemically resistant, lighter than metals and glass, and are also good insulators. All these good properties make the polyolefin popular in the field of automotive industry.
