Abstract
A review is presented of automotive bumper systems with reference to design, materials selection and function. A description is given of bumper components and a critical review of polymer-based bumper systems with specific methodology, are provided. Advantages and disadvantages of polymer based composite materials, compared to those of traditional steel materials, are discussed, together with factors which need to be considered in the selection of a bumper system. 33 refs.
