Electric Vehicles

High-performance thermoset materials cannot be remelted or reshaped. Consequently, recycling carbon-fiber-reinforced composites poses significant challenges.

Developing high-performance solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) represents a major leap forward for energy storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries.

Manufacturers increasingly use lightweight yet durable plastics to replace metals, with new applications emerging regularly.

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, efficient, safe, and long-lasting batteries become critical to meet energy and performance needs. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) power most EVs, but they face energy density, safety, and long-term reliability limitations.

Sustainable polymer-based anticorrosive coatings offer technical, economic, and environmental advantages. Continuous advancements in this technology aim to overcome current challenges.

Incorporating recycled rubber as a filler in carbon black for NR/BR/SBR ternary blends offers a sustainable solution for the automotive tire industry, enhancing both performance and environmental impact.

Companies like Polymer Resources Ltd. lead pioneering technologies that address industry challenges and set new thermoplastic benchmarks.

The automotive industry leads in material innovation, and polymers play a crucial role in shaping the design and manufacturing of today’s vehicles.

Durable plastics play an integral role in modern society, but their durability challenges their recyclability and end-of-life.

Craig Veeser, Automotive Manager at Formerra, shared insights on how the company innovates in the electric vehicle (EV) sector by replacing traditional metal components with advanced plastic materials.
