From the development of polymers that make cars lighter to fuels
that make them run cleaner, the chemist's role in the automotive
industry has evolved to be one that is more outside the laboratory
than in it. Drawing on the author's 20 years of experience in
vehicle design and laboratory experience, The Role of the Chemist
in Automotive Design elucidates how the skills of chemists are put
to use in the automotive industry and their effect on all phases of
design. A glance through the table of contents provides an overview
of the issues commonly encountered by chemists in the automotive
industry. The author discusses fuels cells, lithium ion batteries,
carbon nanotubes, and nickel metal hydride technology, all of which
require the technical knowledge of a chemist but cross the lines of
various disciplines. He also covers future technology including
items such as battery technology, fuel cell membranes, and
environmentally friendly plastics such as nylons that use castor
oil as a primary component. The book examines environmental
concerns such as CARB legislation and how the industry plans to
deal with the new legislation with strategies such as Ozone
Reduction Catalyst. The increasing technological, environmental,
and economic issues facing the auto industry underscores the need
for a basic reference that covers technologies that can be used to
make vehicle more fuel efficient, environmentally friendly, and
cost efficient. Exploring the expanding role chemists will play in
future automotive design and technology, this book delineates the
areas and technologies that require the technical knowledge of a
chemist but that cross the lines of many disciplines.
