(FREE) SAINT GOBAIN: Advanced Thermal Foams for Battery Pack Protection

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

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

(FREE) KIM & CHANG: Artificial Intelligence, Battery Technology, and Patents from a Korean Perspective

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been much in the spotlight recently for having reached the point where it is able to perform tasks that in the past required human intelligence, and often much more efficiently. The field of battery technology is no exception to these trends. AI has achieved remarkable reductions compared to existing experimental methods in the time needed to discover new battery materials and optimize battery design, as well as increasing the accuracy of real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and fault diagnosis through smart battery management systems (BMS). Data-based approaches utilizing AI are expected to significantly increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes by reducing the trial and error normally involved in such processes. This webinar will review the status of AI-related battery technologies in the market and in development, the patent landscape for AI-powered battery technologies, particularly from a Korean and Asian perspective, and will provide practical advice for prosecuting AI-related battery patents in Korea based on examination guidelines and early case studies.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• Current status of AI-related battery technologies in the market or development
• Patent landscape for AI-related battery technologies
• Practical advice on prosecuting AI-related battery patents in Korea

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.
