Materials Meets Electronics: A New Paradigm for Automotive Components

Speaker: Nello Li Pira | Company: FIAT Research Centre | Date: 10-11 March 2021 | Full Presentation


This work discusses one of the main future challenge in automotive materials addressing the integration of embedded electronic functionalities and sustainability.


The cars of the future will have an elegant and ergonomic design with embedded sensors, touch surfaces and biomimetic multi-coloured components. E-mobility and autonomous driving are becoming fundamental demands in vehicles but at the same time, they have to merge with sustainability introducing biomaterials and strengthening the circular economy. This implies a continuous development of current products with increase of electronics contents meeting in parallel the main issues of economy of the future: limiting the presence of hazardous chemicals, increase uptake of recycled materials and developing bio-based plastics.
