As new battery cell-to-pack designs are commercialized in electric vehicle powertrains, the role of thermal adhesives has become increasingly critical. There is a growing need for innovative thermal adhesives that effectively bond battery cells to pack components while addressing performance and manufacturing challenges. This presentation will delve into recent advancements in thermal adhesives that not only provide strong bonding capabilities but also enhance thermal management, pack design flexibility, and long-term durability.

These multifunctional materials are engineered to deliver robust structural integrity across diverse bonding surfaces, including metals, PET, and composites, while addressing the pressing concerns of battery pack designers regarding cost and manufacturing efficiency. Key improvements in acrylic and urethane thermal adhesives include: tailorable bond strength for structural or reworkable pack designs, increased elongation for enhanced durability, and tailored cure speeds and methods to facilitate high-throughput manufacturing.

Join this webinar at our September Virtual Conference on EV Engineering, presented by Parker Lord, where we will also provide insights on how to select a thermal adhesive that aligns with specific cell-to-pack designs and needs. By focusing on these performance enhancements, this presentation aims to equip battery pack designers and material engineers with the knowledge to optimize pack performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Key Takeaways:

• Recent advancements in thermal adhesive solutions provide tailorable bond strengths and elongation properties, enabling structural or reworkable pack designs.
• Improved manufacturing efficiency: Tailored cure methods and speeds of thermal adhesives and how these facilitate high-throughput and flexible manufacturing.
• Versatile material compatibility: Thermal adhesives can bond multi-material designs together effectively to transfer both load and heat.
