Nexam Chemical has been granted funding for lightweight solutions with graphene containing NEXIMID® MHT-R
05/15/2017
Nexam Chemical has, together with SWEREA Sicomp, been granted a total of SEK 879 thousand from Vinnova for a development project with graphene-modified composites containing NEXMID® MHT-R for long-term and high temperature applications.
The project, that will run over 21 months, will develop graphene-modified resins to improve the properties of polymer composites. The project shall facilitate weight reduction and increased use of carbon composites in demanding applications. Nexam Chemical will further develop NEXIMID® MHT-R which will be included in the new resin based on graphene.
”The development project is in line with the industry trend, i.e. replacing metal with lighter composites in the hotter zones in for example engines. We look forward to once again collaborate with SWEREA Sicomp with whom we previously have had successful projects. Our NEXIMID® MHT-R provides major property enhancements in the composites that it has been included in so far” says Dane Momcilovic CTO at Nexam Chemical.
