Bet on the Little Guy: Commercialization of high temperature, biaxial oriented nanolayered capacitor films for GRID, Transportation, and Fusion Applications

Presented by Michael Ponting, Peak Nano

Structure property processing techniques have been leveraged for decades by scientists and engineers to push the performance of polymer material-based products. However, the adoption timeline to introduce disruptive new polymer materials and products often requires decades from conceptionalization to commercialization. The introduction of high temperature, biaxial stretched, nanolayered energy storage thin films from a start-up Company has challenged that industry accepted model. This talk will cover the journey from unmet market needs to million-pound production capabilities to produce and qualify NanoPlex capacitor energy storage films over a 3 year project timeframe. Key aspects of supply chain, and material process and performance data as raw film and in capacitor devices will be presented.
