The increasing number of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and the larger, heavier batteries they require, has necessitated a move to composite battery enclosures. The use of composites is required to achieve this larger, protective, but still lightweight structure. This presents a number of challenges versus traditional metal enclosures – the structure must still meet the necessary fire and thermal management requirements whilst also providing shielding to electromagnetic interference (EMI). TFP’s nonwovens provide the solution and in this presentation Neil will demonstrate how these materials can be incorporated directly into the composite structure to provide this required functionality.
