4 Material specific potential of thermosets for hybrid materials
Motivation Most mechatronic systems consist of a complex build-up of single components each only featuring one major function (e.g. housings, heat sinks, pressed-in magnets). This leads to high system costs due to large numbers of components and multiple assembly steps. Thermosets suit a number of essential requirements for mechatronic systems (e.g. media resistance, low creep, good electrical properties, low CTE1). Injection molding is a large scale production technology with only few limitations in design freedom which in terms of thermosets allows processing with very low tolerances (IT 7-9). “Customizing” the functional properties of the thermoset resins by adding functional fillers enables totally new design concepts for mechatronic components reducing process chains to a minimum. 1: Coefficient of Thermal Elongation 4 Dr. Gerrit Hülder, Dr. Sven-Robert Raisch, Torsten Maenz | © Robert Bosch GmbH Alle Rechte vorbehalten, auch bzgl. jeder Verfügung, Verwertung, Reproduktion, Bearbeitung, Weitergabe sowie für den Fall von Schutzrechtsanmeldungen.

19 Conclusion and outlook
Material specific potential of thermosets for hybrid materials Conclusion and outlook Thermoset show great potential as a basis for hybrid materials Apart from functional properties the high achievable filler contents allow improved mechanical stability by using additional fillers for reinforcement. The specific thermoset flow behavior needs to be considered when designing functional parts. The specific properties of the matrix material are the key to their application. Further improvements especially in the field of characterization of the processing properties of thermoset molding compounds are necessary to achieve competitiveness of thermosets. For an effective utilization of the material specific potential in future a combination of process and part simulation (e.g. filler orientation) is necessary. 19 Dr. Gerrit Hülder, Dr. Sven-Robert Raisch, Torsten Maenz | © Robert Bosch GmbH Alle Rechte vorbehalten, auch bzgl. jeder Verfügung, Verwertung, Reproduktion, Bearbeitung, Weitergabe sowie für den Fall von Schutzrechtsanmeldungen.
