Abstract:

As the global automotive industry actively pursues environmental protection and low carbon, new energy vehicles have become the core development trend due to their unique energy configuration and usage characteristics. Compared to traditional vehicles powered by internal combustion engine, the functional components of new energy vehicles play a crucial role in constituting critical performance parameters, including range, driving experience, and safety, and meanwhile there is a higher demand on the used materials. Polymers exhibit important application values in the functional components of new energy vehicles due to their advantages, such as easy processing, low cost, and modification. This paper reviewed the research progress in the development and applications of polymers in the functional components of new energy vehicles, including power batteries, thermal management systems, control, and drive systems, etc., and also prospected the future development of polymers in new energy vehicles.

Key words: new energy vehicle, polymer material, functional component, research progress
