What are the main functions of Rogers foam in the field of new energy batteries?
Rogers foam plays an important role in the field of new energy batteries, such as cushioning and shockproof, sealing and dustproof, thermal management, electrical insulation, etc., as follows:
Buffer and shockproof: the new energy battery will expand and contract during charging and discharging, and the vehicle will also be subjected to vibration and impact during driving. Rogers foam has excellent compression deformation resistance and super high resilience. It can be used as a battery gasket and cushion, placed between cells or at the bottom of the battery pack, to absorb the stress caused by the expansion and contraction of the battery, as well as external shock and impact energy, to prevent the battery from being damaged due to excessive mechanical stress, and to ensure the structural integrity and performance stability of the battery.
Sealing and dustproof: Rogers foam can provide reliable sealing performance, prevent impurities such as dust and water vapor from entering the battery pack, and avoid these impurities from causing adverse effects such as corrosion and short circuit to the battery, thus improving the reliability and service life of the battery.
Thermal management: Some materials in Rogers foam have good thermal insulation performance, which can reduce the heat transfer between batteries and delay the heat spread. When the heat of the battery is out of control, the foam can also reduce the heat transmission speed by means of heat absorption and carbonization, which provides additional guarantee for the safety of the battery.
Electrical insulation: Rogers foam has certain electrical insulation performance, which can isolate different parts of the battery, prevent electrical short circuit and improve the electrical safety of the battery system.
Optimize space utilization: Rogers foam can be customized according to the shape and size of battery pack, fill the gaps in battery pack, and realize multiple functions in limited space, which is helpful to optimize the design of battery pack and improve space utilization.
