1 Preface In the early 1990s, a research team from Toyota Central Research Development Laboratories in Japan worked on Nylon 6 clay nanocomposites and revealed an improved process for producing Nylon 6 clay nanocomposites using in situ polymerisation similar to the Unichika Co. (Japan) method, who produced the first organoclay hybrid polyamide nanocomposite. The first commercialisation of polymer nanocomposites took place in 1991 with the development of timing belt covers by Toyota Motor Co. In 2002, General Motors initiated a step-assist automotive component made of polyolefin reinforced with 3% nanoclay and, over the last decade, nanocomposite production has increased. The objective of this book is to discuss the increasing demand for light weight automotive rubber parts and the role of polymer composites. Due to their advantages, e.g., superior strength and light weight, the application of polymer nanocomposites in automotive components enables the production of light weight vehicles, improved engine efficiency and decreased carbon dioxide emissions, which results in enhanced automobile performance. It is forecasted that by the year 2022, the production of light vehicles on a global scale will reach 112 million units. In parallel, the global polymer nanocomposite market will be worth US $12,000 million by Stringent government directives governing automotive emissions in a number of countries including, the USA, Germany, China, India and so on, have led to the growing use of polymer nanocomposites. A team of ingenious scientists, professors and experienced rubber professionals, with extensive knowledge and research experience involving polymer nanocomposites and nanotextiles in automobile applications, have all contributed to this book. The many advantages of nanocomposites over conventional composites, in terms of mechanical, electrical, thermal, barrier and chemical properties, e.g., increased tensile strength, improved heat deflection temperature, flame retardancy and so on, are reviewed in this book. In addition, examples of the scope and applications in the automobile industry, e.g., hoses, seals, tyres, tubes and flaps, are highlighted. iii

2 Rubber Nanocomposites and Nanotextiles in Automobiles This book is comprised of six chapters that detail comprehensive views on the polymer nanocomposites and nanotextiles that feature in the fast-growing lighter automotive industry. Chapter 1 portrays the scope of application of elastomeric nanocomposites in automotive engineering with the utilisation of organoclay masterbatches that are light weight and exhibit balanced mechanical properties. Chapter 2 focuses on manufacturing tyre treads, with a description of elastomer nanocomposites, a vital component of pneumatic tyres that provide an extraordinary balance among three operational requirements, i.e., safety, comfort and cost. Chapter 3 is a narrative on automotive components with respect to their mechanical characteristics. Chapter 4 discusses rubber clay nanocomposites in relation to automobile components, and how the nanofillers, contrary to conventional ones, can significantly improve the functional properties of polymers. Rubber nanocomposites have also received considerable interest for strategic and critical applications in defence and aerospace sectors, which are also highlighted in this chapter. Chapter 5 details a comprehensive discussion regarding the advantages of ionic liquid(s) (IL)- mediated surface modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) over other methods, and the different roles of IL in CNT rubber composites. An overview of CNT elastomer composites is also presented. Nanofibres (NF) or nanocomposite fibres for functional nanofinishing, nanocoatings or polymer nanocomposite coatings are gaining considerable interest for the development of smart, functional and high-performance textiles. Nanocomposite fibres have immense potential in automobile engineering components, and may transform the textile industry with new functionalities including: self-cleaning surfaces, conducting textiles, antimicrobial properties, controlled hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, protection against fire and ultraviolet radiation, which are reviewed in Chapter 6. The focus of this book is to offer concise information to the automobile component manufacturing industry, polymer technologists, students and researchers to obtain an overall view of polymer nanocomposites, its development and various applications in automobiles; in combination with the elaborate idea of NF and textiles engineered in the automobile industry. It is perceivable that future automobiles, railways and aerospace will endeavour to extensively employ nanotechnology. I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Ms Helene Chavaroche, Commissioning Editor, for her most sincere efforts to make this project successful and also to Mrs Eleanor Garmson, the Development Editor. We also appreciate the editorial service provided by Dr Liz Rees. I indeed express my earnest thanks to all the staff of Smithers Rapra who assisted in the preparation and publication of this book. iv
