Israeli scientists are developing a super strength polypropylene, one of the world`s most commonly used plastic, to replace steel and other materials used in pipelines and machinery.
Moshe Kol, professor of chemistry at the Tel Aviv University (TAU) who is behind the project, said this could have a long-term impact on many industries, including car manufacturing, in which plastic parts could replace metallic car parts.
Durable plastics consume less energy during the production process. And there are additional benefits as well. If polypropylene car parts replaced traditional steel, cars would be lighter overall and consume less fuel, for example.
