On Demand Webinar: The Right Amount of Force: Reworkability of Gap Fillers in EV Battery Packs
The fast-growing electric vehicle market demands robust and efficient thermal management solutions for battery packs, such as gap fillers and thermal pads. Gap fillers outperform thermal pads to achieve lower thermal impedance, as the gap fillers conform to surface roughness before curing. This allows gap fillers to adhere well to surfaces and provide mechanical support during normal operation. However, this also poses a challenge during repair, removal and re-manufacturing. Currently, there is no set standard for measuring vertical pull-off, and hence, there is a lack of knowledge on what level of pull-off force is needed to service these battery packs.

On Demand Webinar: How to Select an Engine Isolation System
Vibrations, from indiscernible to intense, can negatively impact the performance, reliability, comfort and safety of the equipment you design. The adverse effects can range from simple annoyances to shorted equipment life. The right vibration isolator, properly applied, will improve your products. They will operate more smoothly and quietly, and they will be less disturbing to surrounding equipment and personnel, less susceptible to damage. Elastomeric vibration isolators provide cost-effective solutions to problems involving vibration, shock and structural noise control.
On Demand Webinar: Structural Adhesives 101
Structural adhesives (acrylic, epoxy and urethane adhesives) improve appearance, strength and durability, while offering design flexibility and total cost savings. Compared to traditional fastening methods such as rivets, welds and fasteners, structural adhesives eliminate the costs associated with metal preparation and finishing operations to improve your manufacturing processes. These adhesives are used in a wide variety of applications across many industries. If you’re looking to learn more about adhesives, this is the webinar for you.
On Demand Webinar: Using Data to Power Technology
Join us for a look at how MicroStrain wireless sensors are being used to accelerate the development of an all-electric aircraft large enough to carry passengers. Beta Technologies' prototype Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft is the first of its kind and could be used to save lives. In order to validate its safety and rapidly iterate the design of the aircraft, it is critical to have a sensor measurement system capable of accurate, reliable, and repeatable measurements in all environments. MicroStrain wireless sensors are aiding in that purpose and helping bring prototypes to market faster.

On Demand Webinar: Innovative Thermal Interface Materials: How Adhesives And Gap Fillers Are Accelerating xEV’s
Traditional joining techniques in the automotive industry includes welding and mechanical fasteners. However, many challenges arise when using these methods. By using structural adhesives, the need for mechanical fasteners as well as post-weld rework is eliminated. Adhesives also eliminate heat-affected zones and can double as a sealant. In traditional fastening methods, mounting lugs, screws, and rivets pierce through the aluminum battery box, which can cause a potential leak point and risks potential for outside moisture to seep into the battery pack. This presentation will dive into four top trends we’re seeing in the market for 2021 when it comes to thermal management solutions used in electric vehicle applications. Insights, data and real-world testing.
