SUBMISSION DATE :
1. From the background we read, there are some information that we can get to
find a better material that we can produce to make a quality car bumper. Below
consist the features that fit in the bumper car :
 Design must be flexible enough to reduce the passenger
 Stay intact in low-speed impact
 Less fuel consumption
 Less weight design of car bumper
 Good rust resistance
 High strength
 High volume manufacturing
 Easy to shape
 Material for car bumper must low cost

2. The other information should to know to make car bumper is:

 What are the of material that we can used to make a car bumper ?
-epoxics
-polyesters
-polyactide
-polyamides
-polyetheretherketone
-Polyethylene terephthalate
-polyoxymethylene

 What are the properties

 3. Our opinions on design requirement of the car bumpers is :
