Sakuu® a leading provider of commercial-scale equipment and technologies to the battery and supercapacitor manufacturing industries, has printed a 100% dry anode and dry cathode metal-free battery cell using carbon composite and polymeric current collector (PCC) technology on its Kavian® manufacturing platform. A breakthrough in materials science, this fully functional metal-free cell possesses all the safety benefits of PCC architecture and all the structural integrity of carbon fiber while remaining flexible and extremely lightweight.  “The ability to manufacture safer batteries at scale is essential to meeting surging demand across industries, yet battery manufacturing technology has been stuck in a rut for 30 years,” said Arwed Niestroj, president and chief operating officer of Sakuu. “Our dry-printed carbon fiber PCC test cell demonstrates how to produce innovative batteries that can safely power — and also conform to and strengthen — new structural designs in data centers, ae...

An emulsion resin consists of polymer particles dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase. The smaller the particle size, the greater the total surface area available for interaction with water, surfactants, additives, and other components of the formulation. This can influence several critical properties: • Emulsion stability: Particle size and distribution affect resistance to aggregation, sedimentation, and phase separation. • Rheology: Smaller particles and their distribution can influence viscosity and flow behavior. • Film formation: During drying, particles come closer together, deform, and coalesce to form a continuous polymer film. Particle size can therefore af...

Syensqo, a global leader in high-performance polymers, has won first place in the Compounding & Materials category of the inaugural Fakuma Innovation Award 2026 for its #Ryton®PPSXE3500OR , demonstrated in an extruded busbar manufactured by Standard-Metallwerke.  Designed specifically for DC fast-charging busbars, Ryton® PPS XE3500 OR addresses the demanding insulation requirements of charging systems capable of taking an #EVbattery from 20% to 80% in around 20 minutes. The material combines high temperature resistance and dielectric strength with excellent impact toughness, while maintaining its distinctive orange color for reliable high-voltage identification and enhanced safety. Its durability and temperature stability support longer-lasting components and can enable higher power density and more compact designs, with the potential to reduce material use and service needs over the product lifetime.  Presented for the first time in 2026 by Schall Messen and K-Zeitung, t...
