It's impressive solution when Banana's celulosa will be ductile and strong materials for car components

Rio de Janiero - Sweet Bananas and pineapple was not only delicious to eat. Delicious Fruits were also shown to serve as an objective alternative to plastic car components, the written article in addition to strong and cellulose are two kinds of fruit were also truly stronger

As firmly proclaimed by thegreencarwebsites.co.uk, Tuesday (29 / 3), the results of objective research scientists that have been really presented at the 241st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Rio de Janeiro, Sunday (27 / 3).


"Tough Fiber (fruits) were used to amplify a new plastic made from environmentally friendly materials. Cellulose of nano fiber in the fruit was as strong as Kevlar, "said Alcides Leao, leader of the research project.

Amazing Kevlar is a ductile material known for strong and rigid. So far, besides kevlar used to frame the car is also for clothes or bullet-proof vest.

Leao claim, objective research results prove that the sweet banana and tasteful pineapple fiber weighs 30 percent lighter than ordinary plastic fibers. In fact, fiber fruit 3-4 times is truly stronger than plastic fibers of the fossil material.

Not only that. Fiber from fruit was much cheaper and can be used as materials for various components in all parts of the car.

"We believe some car parts, including dashboards, bumpers, door trim, panels, will be made of nano-fiber fruit," said Leao.

The proper use of ductile and strong materials, he said, would help to reduce the weight of the fastanstic car and that will increase the level of fuel efficiency. As a result, the level was lower CO2 emissions and global warming can be reduced.

Due to nations of Arabic Middle turmoil is recently spreading, F1 Racing Season Opener 2011 in Bahrain, it is doubtfully Continued

Manama - increasingly Violence Increases in the crowded streets of the kingdom of Bahrain raised doubts that Formula One racing competition will really continue to go, given the GP2 Asia at the end of this week have been officially canceled on Thursday night after the bloody violence.

At least three people were killed and more than 200 people were reportedly truly injured in the capital city of Bahrain, Manama. Victim fell after police tried to clean the streets from anti-government protesters.

It is obviously seen that the conquering rulers of Bahrain hopes fracture wave of protests by police with gunfire and hurling tear gas to control the fluctuated city and quell public protests.

"I spoke with Crown Prince this clouded morning. He does not know anything than you or me, but they certainly continue to monitor what happens. We may soon make a quick decision no later than Tuesday or Wednesday next week," he said.

"If the unpredictable situation continues like today, the answer is no. If the unpredicted conditions are no better and calm until Wednesday, then sya thought, might be canceled," added Ecclestone.
