The PolyCond project ended on 31st January 2009,
details of the results of the project can be found below.
 
PolyCond Case Studies & Material Data Sheets

A range of PolyCond case studies and material data sheets are available for download via the Publications section of the website.

  • The case studies detail potential applications for the materials that have been developed, which include the product benefits offered by the PolyCond materials compared with alternatives.

  • The material data sheets give the physical properties of a range of PolyCond materials that have been developed. They also contain useful guidance on processing and health & safety issues.

The aim of the Polycond project
Creating a competitive edge for the European POLYmer processing industry by driving new added-value products with CONDucting polymers

The aim of the PolyCond project is to develop conductive plastic composites that are eco-friendly, cost effective and of high added value. This will be achieved through an ambitious multidisciplinary approach developing new, radically innovative, knowledge-based and sustainable products for protection against the effects of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

Research will be based on the compounding of engineering polymers and Inherently Conductive Polymers (ICPs) with improved conductivity, or hybrid systems of ICPs with conductive nanotubes. Innovative, eco-efficient processing, based on CO2 assisted technologies specifically tailored to the new materials, will also be developed.
