Panel: Advanced Materials for Battery Pack Design
Friday, 15 May 2026
As the electrification of transport accelerates, the materials inside battery packs have never mattered more. From electrical insulation and thermal management to structural integrity and long-term reliability, material selection is fundamental to how well a battery pack performs and how safely it does so. This panel examines which advanced materials are proving most effective in modern EV battery pack design, what testing and performance standards engineers should be applying, and how the industry is navigating the tension between high performance and the growing imperative to deliver more sustainable, recyclable solutions. A practical session for engineers, designers and materials specialists working at the sharp end of electrification.
Discussion Points:
• Which advanced materials are best suited to the electrical insulation and thermal management demands of modern EV battery packs, and why?
• What testing methods and performance standards should engineers be applying to ensure long-term reliability and safety in battery components?
• How can the materials industry balance high performance requirements with the growing pressure to deliver more sustainable, recyclable battery solutions?
