In the automobile industry, getting out of the structure which is depending on oil is a problem concerning not only an energy field such as the fuels, but also some parts of a vehicle. We have developed a practical molding method for converting rice husks united with poly vinyl alcohol into component of a vehicle. This component of mold piece is the porous structure with continuous pore, which is useful for sound absorbing and environment-friendly material that has biodegradable performance. The new component was evaluated for its performance of noise reducing effect and crash energy absorption effect in a vehicle. As a result, it was shown that physical properties of rice husks molding compare favorably with those of plastic foam molding. Although some problems for commercialization have been left, it has been understood that this method is efficient measures to realize the advanced low carbonization society.
