The risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery systems remains a critical challenge, necessitating advanced thermal management solutions for improved safety and reliability. This study introduces a high-temperature resistant foam engineered to enhance battery pack protection through robust insulation and mechanical adaptability for pouch and prismatic cell form factors. The material demonstrates superior thermal resistance across both LFP and NMC chemistries, effectively mitigating heat propagation and maintaining structural integrity under extreme conditions. Designed for versatility, the foam can be integrated across battery components —cell-to-cell pads, vent covers, and gaskets. It provides thermal barrier protection, high-temperature sealing, and targeted venting at the cell, module, and pack levels.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Multi-functional material that provides mechanical support and thermal protection
• Mechanical properties’ tuning for pouch or prismatic form factors
• Robust thermal insulation properties for LFP or NMC
• Performance highlights from: i.) NMC811 testing, ii.) high temperature furnace & hot microscope study and iii.) preliminary benchmarking
• Application case studies based on thermal protection at cell, module and pack level

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 2/3: Beyond the Standards: Device-Specific Testing
After choosing your cell and manufacturer (Part 1 of this series), most likely, they will have passed the tests of various standards organizations. However, depending on your operating environment, you may need to go above and beyond the baseline to ensure your product operates as intended. This webinar is Part 2 in a three-part series and will review a variety of factors to consider in your device-specific testing, including designing tests to predict the outcomes of various user-abuse scenarios, understanding the mechanisms of gas generation, capacity retention based on different voltage windows, and what happens if you need to cycle your cells outside of their operating range (outside in an Arizona summer or Minnesota winter, for example).
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• User-abuse scenarios to prevent against
• Causes and effects of various gas generation mechanisms
• Voltage limitsPresenter

A Raft of EVs and Hybrids are Coming – Will the Buyers Follow?
Current sales trends for hybrid and electric vehicles will be detailed as will the effect of public policy on these vehicles. California is moving forward even as the US EPA and NHTSA pull back, with states aligning with California that represent 40% of total US sales.
There is a plethora of new products coming from a variety of automakers, with certain automakers taking their own unique approaches, which will of course differentially affect suppliers and consumers. While China may be “ground zero” for product introductions and sales, the US will see a significant number of new products, particularly if we include vehicles that are “electrified” (as opposed to fully electric vehicles).
Changes in technology affecting the cost and therefore the price to consumers will be discussed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current Sales Trends Regarding EVs and Hybrids
• Current Status of the EPA/NHTSA Midterm Review
• Current Status of CA Regulatory Intentions Regarding Fuel Economy and Zero Emission Vehicles
• Automaker EV Plans Through 2025
• Other Factors Affecting EV and Hybrid Sales in this PeriodPresenter

The Potential Impact of a New U.S. Administration on Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
The impact of the election upon government policy & the automotive industry is complicated and unclear. Fuel economy regulations are in place through Model Year 2021. We will explore the potential impacts on Model Years 2022-25 & beyond including the Midterm Review & the California Zero Emission Vehicle regulations which become more stringent in 2018.
The strategies of the global automakers will be discussed including Volkswagen (as it attempts to recover from its diesel scandal) & the Detroit Three automakers that are focusing their expansion on markets outside North America. The role of China will also be assessed.
Technology improvements and their implication upon cost will also be discussed, as will the full impact of electrification (including 48 volt technology) on the vehicle fleet.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Potential Legislative & Regulatory Changes Affecting Manufacturers and Consumers
• Potential Responses by Industry & the New Administration to EPA Regulation for Model Years 2022-2025
• Potential Responses from NHTSA Which May Still Rule on 2022-2025 Period
• Reaction From California & the Impact of Its Zero Emission Vehicle Policies
• Impact of Automaker Strategies Which are Global
• Impact of Business & Technological TrendsPresenter
