The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on a multiphase CTMA initiative to investigate several different approaches to improve the safety of electric vehicle (EV) batteries through the development of high temperature adhesives and cutting-edge dielectric materials.

Specific objectives for Phase II include:

• Development of adhesives that maintain long-term integrity at elevated temperatures (up to 135°C or higher), commonly encountered in vehicle components, which may aid in heat dissipation.
• Creation of materials with high dielectric strength and low thermal conductivity to insulate electrical components in EVs.
• Development of processes to enable automatic dispersion and rapid curing.
