In line with the principle of sustainable development, tire manufacturers are also looking for alternatives to rubber. As a result, Michelin introduced the concept of tires, thinking of using wood as an alternative material. Some people would say that wood is a thing that is buried in the earth, Michelin is empty. The idea is really eye-catching.
Michelin's so-called wooden tires, in fact, are transformed products that use waste wood as a raw material and convert it into a flexible polymer to produce a relatively environmentally friendly tire. It not only has the same elasticity as traditional rubber, but also degrades. Reduce pollution to the environment.
This is just one of the ideas. Michelin’s earlier concept of 'Vision' tires, the raw material is basically 'garbage'! Including natural rubber, bamboo, paper, tin cans, wood, plastic waste, hay, tire shavings, second-hand metals, 4. Fabric, cardboard, syrup, orange peel, etc., after transformation into polymer.
And structurally, this new type of tire is completely different from the traditional rubber tire. It is no longer a pneumatic tire, but relies on a complex mesh structure as a support, and it has eliminated the hub and replaced it with its own structure. In addition, it The sensor is also embedded inside, and the real-time status of the tire can be known in real time.
In addition, because it does not need inflation, puncture, gas leakage and other problems do not exist, and it can be recycled and reused, through the 3D printing technology replaced with a new tread, the use can still be safe and reliable.
