  • Patent number: 11444313
    Abstract: A battery module, in particular for a motor vehicle, encompassing at least one battery cell that is received, in a manner impinged upon by compressive force along a spacing axis, between two pressure surfaces arranged with a spacing from one another along the spacing axis and clamped toward one another; at least one interlayer additionally being provided along the spacing axis between the pressure surfaces; the interlayer, constituting an LWRT interlayer, encompasses a porous LWRT material having a thermoplastically bonded fiber tangle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2022

  • Publication number: 20180141303
    Abstract: An LWRT material having a core layer that includes thermoplastically bound structural fibers, and having at least one outer layer that likewise includes thermoplastically bound structural fibers, the outer layer also having bicomponent fibers as structural binder fibers, each of which has a fiber core made of a fiber core material with a predetermined fiber core melting or fiber core softening temperature, and a sheath surrounding the fiber core radially and made of a thermoplastic sheath material with a predetermined sheath melting or sheath softening temperature, the sheath melting or sheath softening temperature being lower than the fiber core melting or fiber core softening temperature, and the sheaths of the bicomponent fibers contributing to the thermoplastic binding of fibers in the outer layer.
