- Abstract
Recently, there has been a serious awareness about the use of materials derived from renewable resources due to reasons such as global warming, environmental pollution and the possibility of running out of oil. With the production of composite materials from natural sources, there has been a significant reduction in carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions from the production of composites to the end of their useful life. In addition, the use of environmentally friendly composites produced from natural resources in the automotive industry has reduced costs, lightened the vehicle and reduced fuel consumption. Green composites emerge as a good alternative to the composites currently used in construction, aerospace, automotive, sports, packaging and, similar fields due to their features such as sustainability, biodegradability, high specific strength and specific modulus. However, the weak interfacial bond of the green composites between the matrix and the natural fibers, high moisture absorption, flammability at relatively low temperatures, low impact resistance and relatively poor strength must be further improved. In the study, the work carried out by researchers to improve these characteristics was reviewed and presented as a summary. The studies showed that different modification processes were applied to enhance the interfacial bond of the green composite and that additives were used for fire resistance. The aim of the study is to provide up-to-date information about the mechanical of green composites, their production methods, and their place in the automotive industry. The green composites provide weight loss in automotive parts is between 1.2–1.9 kg in the front door console, 0.8–1.6 kg in the rear door console and 1.5–2.5 kg in the trunk console of well-known car brands such as BMW, Ford, Renault and Volvo. Average gas emission target for new cars will be 95 g CO2 km-1 after 2021 in the EU. Using light weight green composites will significantly decrease the fuel consumption of vehicles consequently total car CO2 emissions reduce as well.
