In the context of electric mobility, refers to composite materials made of a polymer matrix (usually epoxy, vinyl ester, or polyester) reinforced with high-strength fibers (such as carbon, glass, or aramid). As the electromobility industry matures, the adoption of
Research at Stanford University, in collaboration with Helicoid Industries, is pushing the boundaries further with dual-matrix composite materials that combine thermoset and thermoplastic matrices. This approach leverages thermosets for mechanical stiffness while thermoplastics soften at high temperatures to absorb energy during thermal runaway events. The resulting dual-matrix FRP skins enable self-sensing capabilities and adaptive energy dissipation, improving local containment during rapid energy release events. Research at Stanford University
