| 1. Crash worthiness analysis of different Impact Modified TPO’s With Special Reference to Automotive Exterior Applications |
 |
Crash worthiness for exterior parts are analyzed on the basis of stress strain behavior |
|
Bending deformation resistance is a vital factor |
|
Impact is one prime criterion. |
|
Test at different speed and simulated further |
| |
 |
 |

|
|
|
| 2. Polyolefin compositions having superior paint ability for automotive exterior applications. |
|
The improvement of surface properties of polypropylene by inducing specific functionalization from the use of grafted methods |
|
Improvement of Surface properties is the key for Paint ability. |
|
Paint ability is Essential for Aesthetic Looks in Automotive Applications.
|
|
|
| 3. Polypropylene Composite Materials and Alloys with Enhanced Low Temperature Toughness. |
|
Ethylene Based Copolymer Elastomer and Plastomers are known to be useful modifiers for polypropylene impact copolymers. |
|
The addition of plastomers makes it possible to obtain blends with enhanced properties, such as improved low temperature ductility and Balanced Stiffness. |
|
Introduction of HDPE results in a better balance of Low temperature toughness with reduced sacrifice in stiffness and dimensional stability. |
|
This technology resulted in a wide range of low temperature flexible applications including automotive exteriors and Bumpers.

|
| 4. Study the effect of Compatibilizers in Thermoplastics Glass Filled Polypropylene Composite Materials |
|
Compatibilizers or Coupling Agents Improve Strength Properties of Reinforced PP. |
|
Compatibilizers chemically bond PP and Reinforcing Agent and cause a interfacial layer. |
|
Copatibililized High Stiff Fiber Reinforced High Strength materials have good load bearing capacity under High Temperatures specially required for Under The Bonnet Applications
|
|
|
| 5. Studies on the Effect of Reinforcing Fillers on Polyolefin Thermoplastics: |
|
Mineral Fillers Improve Stiffness and Dimensional Stability of Polypropylene and Toughen Thermoplastic Polyolefins. |
|
Mineral Fillers Improve Dimensional Stability |
|
Improvement if Stiffness results in Reduced Flexibility and Low Temperature Toughness. |
|
Window is established for balanced stiffness and toughness vital for head impact criteria in automotives |
