Sekisui Mobility Solution - Design/Comfort -
The SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group provides materials that contribute to improving the design and comfort of upcoming vehicles, especially the bonding, heat dissipation, and molding technologies we have developed over time.
Challenge
As automated driving evolves, cars are changing from methods of transport to “mobile living rooms.”
At the same time, a lot of systems need to be installed to achieve automated driving, such as ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface). These need to immediately present information to the driver during an emergency, and encourage both safe and smooth operations.
For that reason, designs that seamlessly blend HMI and conventional interior décor are required in order to balance both safety and the comfort of your living room.
In addition, with the reduction of CO2 emissions as a way to counter global warming being a global issue, the shift to EVs (electric vehicles) is moving rapidly.
Even as we pursue lightness to increase range, there is an increasing need for materials that can create a sense of high class and comfort through senses other than sight, such as touch.
Solution
The SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group provides materials that contribute to improving the design and comfort of upcoming vehicles, especially the bonding, heat dissipation, and molding technologies we have developed over time.
For example, interlayer films for laminated glass do not stop at just preventing glass from shattering, their core conventional function, but now allow a range of colored designs to be applied.
"In addition, combinations of different solutions such as sound deadening or thermal insulation, or wedge-shaped interlayer films for head-up displays (HUD) contribute to the comfort and safe of vehicle interiors.
Capacitive touch sensors can respond to a variety of input methods, and allow both designs to be applied and 3D-forming.
We are developing a foam that can give a pleasant feel without ruining light displays which will improve the added value of conventional interior cushioning materials, and through combinations of these technologies, we can offer new display designs.
In addition, we are moving ahead with proposals to improve the comfort of vehicle interiors and improve the reliability of next-generation HMI devices through increasing the functionality of bonded materials by adding low-odor, low-VOC and high heat resistance as well as increased lightness and improved design by drawing on sputtering technology and injection molding technology.
