Corn-based engineering plastics on the way.(NOTABLE)(DuPont Engineering Polymers introduced...

Although there is a great deal of buzz about E85 and biodiesel, DuPont Engineering Polymers is doing its part for automotive sustainability by launching a family of high-performance thermoplastic resins and elastomers based on renewable resources--like corn sugar. These new materials are not for some sort of light-weight applications, either, as automotive applications for Hytrel made with the Bio-PDO material include extruded hose and tubing, blow-molded boots for CV joints, and injection-molded parts including airbag doors and energy dampers. In fact, they've compared convention
