The test helps predict material performance in a thermal runaway event.

UL Solutions announced the Battery Enclosure Thermal Runaway (BETR) evaluation, the first material screening test method at UL Solutions to evaluate electric vehicle (EV) battery enclosure material. The offering is based on UL 2596, Test Method for Thermal and Mechanical Performance of Battery Enclosure Materials. Battery performance has continually presented...

The “Rheology and Processing of Polymers” Special Issue contains the most recent discoveries in the field of rheology and polymer processing, featuring cutting-edge research concentrating on the processing of sophisticated polymers and composites.

To further improve the comprehensive service performance of Zn, hot extrusion combined multi-pass equal channel angular pressing route were applied to process Zn-1(wt%)Mg alloy and 1(vol%)β-TCP/Zn-1Mg composites. As-cast cylinders specimens with a diameter of 60 mm were finally processed to the ECAP-processed specimens with the dimensions of 15 mm × 15 mm × 120 mm. The evolution and corresponding mechanism of the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and biocompatibility ...

The application of Additive Manufacturing in the field of biocompatible material manufacturing has truly been beneficial in increasing the biomechanical performance of the end products, as expanded upon in new research in Polymers.
