O2, and hydrocarbons, leading to a NH3 selective sensor. Arguments in favor of using a zeolite-based sensor in NH3 detection for automotive apphcations are low cost, high temperature stability, and suitability for use in thick-film technology, of common use in the automotive industry [72]. The sensors were tested on an engine test bank and the authors claim that the sensor itself meets aU the technological and economical demands of the automotive industry [73]. 

Adhesives and sealers can be an important part of a total corrosion protection system. Structural bonding procedures and adhesives for aluminum, polymer composites, and titanium are well established in the aerospace industry. Structural bonding of steel is gaining increasing prominence in the appliance and automotive industries. The durability of adhesive bonds has been discussed by a number of authors (see, e.g., 85). The effects of aggressive environments on adhesive bonds are of particular concern. Minford ( ) has presented a comparative evaluation of aluminum joints in salt water exposure Smith ( ) has discussed steel-epoxy bond endurance under hydrothermal stress Drain et al. (8 ) and Dodiuk et al. (8 ) have presented results on the effects of water on performance of various adhesive/substrate combinations. In this volume, the durability of adhesive bonds in the presence of water and in corrosive environments is discussed by Matienzo et al., Gosselin, and Holubka et al. The effects of aggressive environments on adhesively bonded steel structures have a number of features in common with their effects on coated steel, but the mechanical requirements placed on adhesive bonds add an additional level of complication. 

H. Heinemann History of Industrial Catalysis The first chapter reviews industrial catalytic developments, which have been commercialized during the last fourty years. Emphasis is put on heterogeneous catalytic processes, largely in the petroleum, petrochemical and automotive industries, where the largest scale applications have occurred. Homogeneous catalytic processes are briefly treated and polymerization catalysis is mentioned. The author concentrates on major inventions and novel process chemistry and engineering (79 references). 

In addition to Dow s own technology base 1n RIM, Injection molding and compression molding, the data 1n this study was developed from literature references and from consultation with authorities 1n the automotive Industry, material suppliers and equipment manufacturers. 

From the development of polymers that make cars lighter to fuels that make them run cleaner, the chemist s role in the automotive industry has evolved to be one that is more outside the laboratory than in it. Drawing on the author s 20 years in vehicle design and laboratory experience, The Role of the Chemist in Automotive Design elucidates how the skills of chemists are put to use in the automotive industry and their effects on all phases of design. 

A glance through the table of contents provides an overview of the issues commonly encountered by chemists in the automotive industry. The author discusses fuels cells, lithium ion batteries, carbon nanotubes, and nickel metal hydride technology, all of which requires the technical knowledge of a chemist but crosses the lines of various disciplines. He covers future technology including items such as battery technology, fuel cell membranes, and environmentally friendly plastics such as nylons that use castor oil as a primary component. 

As part of this directive, EU member states are required to establish collection systems for the end of life vehicles. They must also ensure that all vehicles are transferred to authorized treatment facilities. Since the treatment facilities are to depollute and remove fluids and specific compounds, etc., the automotive industry provides them with information about the vehicles and their components. 

In addition, the reviewed NAP policy emphasizes the success of the whole Malaysian automotive industry [16, 43]. NAP aims to attract more established automakers to invest in Malaysia. At the same time, NAP also encourages local participation via localization and offers more customers proliferation, as many Malaysian vendors depended solely on Proton. This policy provides more opportunities for Malaysian vendors to receive technology transfer from foreign investors [5]. Vendors valuable experience in working with other established automakers can improve vendors technical proficiency and enable them to look into potential buyers other than Proton. There are a number of CSFs (highlighted in bold font) mentioned directly or indirectly in the findings. The CSFs from literature is specific to the Malaysian automotive industry, except for culture. The rank of the CSFs may not be the same as in Table 24.3 because of a different scenario. Therefore, authors have to further analyze the information and data provided, according to its importance, as area of focus for future DC development framework [44]. 

To evaluate environmentally friendly processes for aluminum alloys, the improvement of the adhesion between a lead-free epoxy primer used in the automotive industry and aluminum alloy 6016 has been studied (Poelman et al., 2005). In particular the authors have compared samples pre-treated with a commercial Zr/Ti conversion coating with no pre-treated ones. 

In October 1941 the War Department authorized procurement of 160,879 more E38R2 shells later this authorization was changed to 143,230 M2 shells and 33,584 M3 shells. The OC, CWS, directed the Pittsburgh district to procure these additional shells, whereupon the contracting officer of that district sent invitations to bid to six prospective contractors. The successful bidders were the Lempco Products Co. of Cleveland, a producer of industrial machine tools, grinders, and equipment used in the automotive industry the Hydril Corp., Rochester, Pa., a manufacturer of oil field supplies and equipment and the H. K. Porter Co. which was already working on the shell. 

In this paper, we build on the experience of the authors in developing and evaluating safety cases in the context of ISO 26262. We examine the significance and nature of the product-based safety rationale within the argument and the role this rationale should play in assessing functional safety. The paper also builds on existing work on safety cases across different domains [3-5], and in the automotive industry in particular [6], [7], taking into account issues related to product-based and process-based assurance [8], the process of compliance [9] and assessment of confidence [10], [11]. 

Reply bv the Authors The coating was sprayed using low carbon steel with a nominal 1020 composition as wire feed stock. In all the wear tests the same coating composition was used. The wire with this composition is of significant interest for the automotive industry because of cost considerations, and good ductility. 

It would be impossible to analyze all the different commercial applications of TPEs however it is impossible not to mention their very important role in automotive industry. Many authors reviewed this field of application [154,182]. Some particular parts of the car call for specific materials, e.g., poly (ether-6-polyesters) are particularly appraised in air bag doors and dashboards [183] (see also Chapter 17). 

The MISiC and MISiC-FET sensors have been tested in a variety of applications, both in simulated environments in the laboratory [24,116] and in real applications in the field [51, 76, 77,128,133,134]. The authors have identified several areas in automotive and industrial applications where the excellent properties of SiC can be exploited. This section will review applications in both car exhaust gases and flue gases from boilers.
