Dispersants

Batteries fulfill various functions nowadays. Silanes play a crucial role in enhancing material performance by improving the dispersion of active materials and conductive additives, ensuring uniform conductivity and performance. They help maintain the stability of particle suspensions, effectively preventing agglomeration and sedimentation. This is vital for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the battery materials. Additionally, silanes contribute to enhanced mechanical properties, such as increased flexibility, making them essential for applications that require robust and adaptable materials.

These benefits are significant in many industries (electric vehicle batteries, consumer electronics, aerospace, and renewable energy storage). The mechanism by which silanes operate involves acting as coupling agents to enhance the dispersion of fillers and active materials within adhesives and sealants, modifying surface properties to ensure compatibility with their medium. This leads to a uniform distribution and an optimal system performance. By improving the interaction between the polymer matrix and fillers, silanes significantly enhance the mechanical properties of materials, resulting in increased flexibility, durability, and tensile strength. Evonik’s DYNASYLAN® brand is specifically designed to deliver these advantages across various applications.
