Flexible Solutions

Digital displays are an integral part of modern vehicle dashboards, household appliances, consumer electronics, and more. In applications like thermostats, cell phones, smart watches, and vehicles, displays allow a simplified, interactive experience for users. To make these digital display assemblies, manufacturers require a variety of die-cut components that, when combined, come together to make an impressive display that provides extreme clarity and a user-friendly experience, which we highlight below.

The rapid advancement of the electric vehicle (EV) market is no secret, and to keep pace with this progress, OEMs seek cutting-edge thermal management solutions that perform well and come at a reasonable cost.

Among essential materials used for heat management in EV batteries, thermal gap pads (aka thermal gap fillers) play a crucial role. Marian collaborates with suppliers like Polymer Science, whose partnership allows for development of high-quality thermal gap pad materials along with various other essential materials for managing heat in EVs.

We sat down with John Biddle, Vice President of Product Development at Polymer Science for a Q&A session where we discussed their contributions to the production of thermal management materials and the benefits they provide.
