Automotive rubber parts from forestry waste

Purpose and goal

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The purpose of this project is to enable the use of non-fossil-based rubber materials, other than natural rubber. The goal of the project is to map the properties of rubber materials produced from forest waste.

Expected effects and result

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project is expected to deliver knowledge about the properties of the new rubber material, to enable its use in real applications.

Planned approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project is carried out in 2 parts. Part 1 is the characterization of the material and its properties, to determine which applications may be suitable areas of use for the material. Part 2 is focused on optimizing the material´s properties and developing a real prototype.
