  • Patent number: 9466859
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing (large format) Lithium Battery packs, comprising the steps of providing one or more electrochemical cells, entering the one or more electrochemical cells into a pouch, partly sealing the pouch with the one or more electrochemical cells, entering the pouch with the one or more electrochemical cells into a drying oven, resting the pouch in the drying oven for a defined time, removing the pouch from the drying oven, transferring the dried pouches to an electrolyte filling station, filling the pouch with electrolyte and sealing the pouch wherein the manufacturing steps are performed under a normal manufacturing environment conditions, and only selected critical manufacturing steps are performed under dry room conditions.

  • Publication number: 20100307974
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyaniline, comprising aniline units and organosulphur units, characterized in that the polyaniline is doped and has a number average degree of polymerization of approximately 5 to approximately 50. The scope of the invention also includes a process for the preparation of polyaniline, wherein aniline and at least one organosulphur unit are converted to a polyaniline derivative in an oxidative, acid-catalyzed polymerization reaction. A subject of the invention is also a coated substrate which is coated with the polyaniline according to the invention and also a process for the coating of the substrate. The scope of the invention furthermore also includes a coating composition which is suitable for the coating of the substrate. The invention thus also relates to a process for the preparation of the coating composition.
