GROUNDBREAKING technology developed by researchers at the University of Limerick could lead to the cars of the future being manufactured from paper waste. The researchers, based at UL’s Bernal Institute, have produced carbon fibre from sustainable bio-resources. These materials have been used to produce car wing mirrors and sections for wind turbine blades, paving the way towards a more sustainable future for materials used in the automotive and wind energy sectors. Carbon fibre is used as a reinforcement in plastic materials to produce composite materials, which are deployed in commercial high-end goods such as cars, aircraft computers and sports equipment like golf clubs.
