One sub-project was supported in the 4th internal call

On 4 June 2024, a new sub-project was approved by the Czech Technology Agency of the Czech Republic; entitled Plastics with Increased Thermal Conductivity, it aims to design and test new additives to increase the thermal conductivity of selected thermoplastics, particularly those based on polyolefins. Primarily, the use of these materials will be directed towards the production of headlamp components to improve the heat dissipation generated by high-power LEDs in headlamps. In addition, thermally conductive composites will be used for the production of car interior components, which will enable more efficient heating/cooling of the interior due to their heat transfer properties. The project is managed by Centrum organické chemie (Centre for Organic Chemistry), Hella Autotechnik Nova, s.r.o. and the Faculty of Chemical Technology of the University of Pardubice.
