Excerpt
Multi-functional materials make batteries safer to prevent fire in an electric passenger car. Without them, battery cells can be damaged and cause a fire in the battery case, which must not be allowed to spread outside the battery case. In this ATZ interview, Katleen van Nuffel and Stefan Groh of Rogers Corporation explain how polyurethane- and silicone-based foams act as cell-to-cell spacers in the battery to protect against thermal runaway.
Katleen van Nuffel, M. Sc., works as a Senior Tech Service & Development Engineer since 2010 at Rogers Corporation at the site in Evergem (Belgium). She has ten years of experience with Rogers polyurethane and silicone based elastomers in electric vehicle battery applications. Her tasks include among others facilitating joint development of specialty elastomers with battery designers. She holds an M. Sc. in Physics from the University of Ghent (Belgium).
