DuPont’s EV Battery Adhesive Receives R&D100 Award

-

 DuPont announces that DuPont™ BETAMATE™ broad bake #adhesives for sustainable mass manufacturing of battery electric vehicles have won the 2023 R&D100 Awards in the Mechanical/Materials category.


The R&D 100 Awards, sponsored by R&D World Magazine, recognizes the 100 most innovative technologies of the previous year.


Offers Significant Energy Savings:

DuPont™ BETAMATE™ broad bake adhesives are a novel solution enabling sustainable #manufacturing of next-generation #electricvehicles through a significant reduction of the e-coat oven temperature. This solution provides significant energy savings while durably bonding the high mass underbody of EV body structures in the body shop.


In addition, BETAMATE™ broad bake adhesives provide excellent #corrosion resistance, enhance passenger safety, deliver high elastic modulus and tensile strength, maintaining the quality of the bond over the vehicle’s projected lifetime and with a #shelflife of at least six months.


“We’re honored to be recognized for our teams' unwavering commitment to excellence, helping our customers address their most pressing sustainability challenges – from clean water to #sustainable shelter to next-gen automotive,” said Alexa Dembek, #DuPont chief technology & sustainability officer. “Receiving these awards exemplifies the commitment and dedication our teams display every day to deliver essential innovations to thrive.”

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
