This remote event was the opportunity to share their recent outcomes with great progress noticed on fractionation of wood and hemp shives alongside
epoxy\/thermosets preparation. A focus was made on the successful implementation European hemp woven reinforcements and the preparation of its first batches of inhouse bio-based composites. Finally, first complete prototypes of a green loudspeaker system and a cockpit dashboard were presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sustainable vibes: The Green Loudspeaker by Wilson Benesch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2021\/12\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-12-01-um-14.03.11-1.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe “Green Loudspeaker” belonging to Wilson Benesch\u2019s Precision Series reached its first complete form! As of Today, it is the first-of-its- kind biobased high-end audio speaker with tangible market possibilities. With great deal of collaborative work, the final demonstrator is composed of an eco-friendly sandwich material notably composed of a woven hemp fabric developed by Linificio & ENSAIT combined with a recycled PET foam. Aesthetic qualities \u2013 notably color \u2013 are very good and when tested at UFC\/FEMTO Institute, it demonstrated better vibro-acoustic performances than the current version of the loudspeaker in both low (< 80 Hz) and high (> 6 kHz) frequencies which is very good news for audiophiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying with natural fibers: Electrical aircraft Cockpit Panel by EADCO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2021\/12\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-12-01-um-14.03.24-1.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Cockpit Panel for Electrical Aicraft has been entirely designed by two of our partners, of Bristol Composites Institute (ACCIS) and EADCO GmbH. The core of the panel is made of a sandwich composite composed of an epoxy\/flax composite the FlaxtapeTM, recently marketed by the French company Ecotecnilin combined with aerospace-graded foam with a bio-based content of approximately 40% in weight. To our knowledge, SSUCHY\u2019s demonstrator cockpit panel is currently the only biobased structural cockpit part to have reached performances compatible with EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) regulations requirements and more specifically the very harsh aircraft specifications and certification rules (CS-23). Objective for the last year of SSUCHY: replace the FlaxtapeTM by a woven hemp-based reinforcement treated with a biobased epoxy polymer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greener mobility: Biobased Monocoque scooter frame by NPSP and car trunk load floor by Tr\u00e8ves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2021\/12\/Bildschirmfoto-2021-12-01-um-14.03.37-1.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNPSP is working towards the development and production of an enhanced bio-based monocoque scooter frame. With the help of Bristol Composites Institute (ACCIS), NPSP entirely redesigned a first version of the prototype that was based on the initial scooter containing a steel frame. Notably, they managed to correct local failure by putting in place local strengthening thus reinforcing safety & durability. The overall work lead to a drastic reduction of the expected manufacturing costs compared to the current process while increasing the overall biobased content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nTr\u00e8ves is targeting weight and noise reduction by developing a hemp-based trunk loadfloor, as an alternative to a current B-Preg\u00ae solution composed of glass fibres, honeycomb and Polyurethane. It is also expected to display better creep resistance at high temperature together with an increased damping capacity. To stay competitive in the automotive market, the new solution had to be fast, simple and compatible with existing production lines. As of now, UFC\/FEMTO Institute is finalizing data analysis on the final selected materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
