In project THERM2M a new type of thermally conducting material will be developed for use in power electronics modules. The material is a high temperature resistant polymer filled with mineral powder. Components comprising the special polymer sandwiched between metal plates will be measured for thermal conductivity and dielectric strength.

Project PE2M is about producing power electronics modules containing silicon carbide semiconductors by packaging using novel encapsulants. The use of rapidly mouldable encapsulants to package SiC devices enables several key innovations. They can be filled with other materials to enhance thermal conductivity without compromising electrical resistivity; the...

Almath Crucibles Ltd manufactures and supplies ceramic products to a range of industries for their kiln and furnace processes. The environmental sustainability of kiln and furnace processes can be improved by reducing the total heat energy consumed in each run of the equipment, which can be achieved by using furnace furniture with lower mass and equivalen...

Power electronics is an enabling technology that is critical to the successful emergence of electric and hybrid vehicles. Common building blocks of miniaturised smart power elements, which can accommodate conventional or wide bandgap semiconductors and control electronics, will be required to meet a range of applications in electric and hybrid vehicles, i...
