Biobased Lightweight Construction for E-Bike

News- The Fraunhofer Institute and Ansmann AG, a leading manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, have developed organosheets with flax fibres in the “BioBattery” project

The focus of the project was on production a bio-alternative for the battery housing, which has so far been made from metal sheets. The bio-based product could be lighter and promise interesting material properties such as superior impact strength. This results from the low splintering tendency and high elasticity of many plant fibers, which means high stability of the battery housing in the event of an accident

The researchers initially used polypropylene as a carrier material for the flax fibers. However, later tests showed that bio-based polyamide could promise even better mechanical properties
