As part of one of the research directions of the \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network, which is \u201cIntelligent Mobility\u201d, the \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 Institute of Aviation team together with its partners carried out the MOTOKOMP project. The aim of the project was developing a technology for the production of composite load-bearing structures for electric vehicles with the functionality of safe storage of vehicle batteries.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process uses AFP (Automatic Fiber Placement) technology and pressing technology. The team of \u0141ukasiewicz-Institute of Aviation implemented the assumptions of the additive manufacturing technology by producing a preform with the use of a robot, which was then consolidated into the final form using a high-temperature hydraulic press. After the production of a set of elements constituting the housing of electric cells, a technology demonstrator was assembled, which is the goal of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe energy storage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The advantage of the developed technology is the reduction of the vehicle\u2019s weight, which will allow it to increase its load capacity or take more batteries. The use of composite materials with a thermoplastic matrix reinforced with carbon fiber reinforcement allowed to combine the functionality of the load-bearing structure with a fire barrier, protecting the flame from escaping in the event of battery ignition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conducted flammability tests confirmed the non-flammability of the composite. At the same time, it was developed to protect the composite load-bearing structure with an elastomeric coating, doubling its impact resistance, which will positively affect the service life of the vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MOTOKOMP project was implemented by the consortium: \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 Institute of Aviation (project leader), \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 Automotive Industry Institute (partner) and \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network \u2013 Institute of Polymer and Dye Engineering (partner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
