Henkel and North Carolina State University Enter Research Partnership Focused on Power Electronics
Henkel will leverage services from NC State’s Packaging Research in Electronic Energy Systems (PREES) lab facilities as part of the agreement.
Henkel and North Carolina State University's (NC State) Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Engineering Research Center recently announced a new partnership agreement designed to study the impact of materials technology on power electronics applications. Henkel has joined the FREEDM Systems Center as an associate member and will also leverage services from NC State's Packaging Research in Electronic Energy Systems (PREES) lab facilities as part of the agreement.
"Henkel and NC State have previously partnered on various projects," said Iqbal Husain, professor of Electrical Engineering and FREEDM director, noting that the new association marks a more formal collaboration. "Most recently, Henkel's team provided specialized materials that enabled us to meet aggressive targets in the design of a high-power electric vehicle fast charger. We see many areas such as this where our relationship can bring notable results."
