For a while, one of the chemical companies was advocating plastic radiators.=
 They even had some on display at an SAE conference.  Apparently they tested=
 well.  Their argument was that the important factor was the net water to ai=
r heat transfer, and that the limiting things were the water to radiator mat=
erial and then the radiator material to air, not the radiator material itsel=
f, as I recall. They said they could mold a radiator into unusual shapes tha=
t would enable better vehicle aerodynamics with more design freedom in the f=
ront end=E2=80=A6.
Never went anywhere to my knowledge.
