Sustainable Engineered Designs and Manufacturing of Waste Derived Graphenes Reinforced Polypropylene Composite for Automotive Interior Parts.

ABSTRACT: The automotive sector is actively pursuing a lightweighting strategy as a means to urgently decrease greenhouse gas emissions, which are a significant driver of climate change. The development of lightweight composite structures has been identified as crucial for enhancing part performance while mitigating negative environmental impacts and adopting energy-efficient manufacturing methods. This comprehensive study aimed to decrease the main reinforcement content of talc in commercial compounds while integrating graphene derived from waste polypropylene (PP) grown on talc and graphene nanoplatelet obtained from waste tires by upcycling processes into the PP compound. The entire value chain of interior automotive part production, from compound development and scaling up with a high-shear mixe
