Adhesives in Action

Seven Ways Adhesives Push Electric Vehicle Design Forward

The transformation of the world’s vehicles from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to electric vehicles (EVs) relies in large part on what holds the vehicles together—namely, adhesives.

Solving Challenges in Electric Vehicle Batteries with Pressure-Sensitive Tapes

Automakers are investing heavily in electric vehicle (EV) technology and are setting long-term goals for phasing out internal combustion engines. This strategic shift is driven by government policy, long-term competitiveness, and innovations in lithium-ion technology and production that have extended the EV driving range and reduced battery pack costs.

Solving Glue Transfer Challenges with Peristaltic Pumps

Careful consideration must be taken with pump selection when handling the transfer of glues. Depending on the type, these adhesives can be highly viscous and often harden and solidify when exposed to air. Glues are typically either water or solvent based; in this instance, the former is relevant.

Bonding with Differing Coefficients of Thermal Expansion

We are using epoxy adhesives to bond steel substrates that are exposed periodically to both 150˚C and as low as 0˚C. Our problem is in maintaining adhesion to the two steel surfaces at such divergent temperatures because of the response of materials to thermal conditions when going through heating and cooling cycles. Do you have any suggestions?
