    LG Chem develops advanced plastic materials that prevent battery’s thermal runaway

    With its own technology and manufacturing methods, LG Chem has developed flame-retardant engineering plastic material that prevents deformation by heat. Thermal runaway, a main cause of fire in electric vehicle batteries, is a phenomenon where battery cell suffers stresses from various origins and heats up subsequently. Flames arise once battery’s internal temperature rises above a…
