On the surface, an elastomer O-ring may appear straightforward in terms of design and development, but there are far more processes involved than simply injecting rubber into a mold. Our expert Richard Katona explains how advanced materials development and simulation expertise can mean the difference between a good seal and an excellent one.

A deeper look at the trend towards electrification and the possibilities surrounding haptic feedback. Haptic feedback is an example of these advances and is an area that is increasingly important in terms of vehicle design, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

How environmentally friendly a hybrid vehicle is, depends on a great many variables, not least the way in which the boundaries of assessment are drawn. What is often overlooked is the fact that the effectiveness of plug-in hybrid vehicles in terms of their environmental impact depends very much on the driving and charging discipline of their users, especially in the case of large SUVs or luxury vehicles, which are common with this type of powertrain.

In a hybrid vehicle, the powertrain consists of a combustion engine and an electric motor. How environmentally friendly this technology really is, depends on many factors

Project ETEMI was launched in 2020 to address challenges in applications related to new mobility. The project has a material development scope that covers conventional elastomers, liquid silicone rubber and thermoplastics.

Datwyler is expanding its in-house capabilities through a focus on Electrically and Thermally Conductive and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding Materials (ETEMI™).

Datwyler wants to develop new materials that conduct electricity and heat, and shield electromagnetic interference. The focus is on functional seals.

The article explains how component development for the cars of the future can enable safe, sustainable and intelligent autonomous mobility.

Datwyler provides an insight into the development, manufacture and application of its sealing components, which can be equipped with sensors and thus be used for predictive maintenance. The focus is on the benefits for electric vehicles. An article by Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development.

Engaging with expert component suppliers can provide a competitive edge as players scramble to prepare for electrification, writes Datwyler’s Andreas Minatti.

Datwyler takes a closer look at how safe, sustainable and more intelligent mobility is being enabled by the evolution of components in the cars of the future.

Close cooperation between manufacturer and supplier is a must, particularly as the requirements at a component level can be entirely different for electric or hybrid vehicles.

The requirements for material and component parts in electromobility are more extensive than in the field of combustion engines. Andreas Minatti, Head of Business Development at Datwyler, talks about the challenges of electrification from the perspective of a sealing expert.
