APPLICATIONS
THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONICS
Electronic devices release heat and do not work well when they get hot. For instance, when watching a long video on a smart phone, you will notice that it will get hot and the battery will drain very fast.
Electronic components, especially chips, both release heat and do not like heat. In order to work properly, they need to dissipate heat. Current advancements in miniaturization make the problem even worse, as there are many heat sources closer together.
The best substrates for dissipating heat are ceramic. However, ceramic substrates are not flexible, thus limiting the possibilities for miniaturization. Flexible PCBs, which are highly used in commercial electronics (smartphones, laptops, etc.) do not dissipate heat well.
Our Flexiramics® composites seek combining the best of the two worlds: the flexibility of polymer with the good thermal management of ceramics.

MAKE BATTERIES SAFER
Safety of Li-ion batteries is an arising concern, especially since they can trigger explosions and violent fires in cellphones, cars and other electronic devices.
Flexiramics® is a viable alternative to improve safety of Li-ion batteries without hindering performance.

INDUSTRIAL FILTRATION
In filtration, one can seek for:
- Removing microparticles;
- High fluxes at low pressure drops;
- Working extreme environments, such as high temperature.
Current solutions can only tackle two of the three points above. The best solutions for high temperatures are sintered metal media, which are extremely expensive and do not offer high fluxes for filtering microparticles. This forces users to cool down streams prior to filtering, which can foul or damage equipment.
As comparison, Flexiramics® can tackle the 3 points mentioned above at a competitive price. Beside filter price, allowing high fluxes will allow production lines to run at higher capacities, thus providing more profit for the end user.
