Project FLA-Heat

IGF – Investigation of the influence of thermally conductive fillers on flame retardant substrate materials [FLA-HEAT]

 

Duration: 11/01/2021 – 10/31/2023

Research objective

Investigation of the influencing factors of thermally conductive fillers and their orientation on the flame retardant properties at different states of conditioning

  • Development of compounds combining thermal conductivity and improved flame retardancy
  • Knowledge of the essential influencing factors of the process-structure-property relationships as well as their interaction during injection moulding with regard to flame behaviour
  • Findings on the influence of thermally conductive fillers on ignition and flame propagation
  • Transfer of the developed compounds to the LDS process for the production of MID-structurable circuit carriers
  • Low-cost, highly conductive elastomers for printed, flexible electronics
