Westra Materials develops and supplies advanced conductive polymers engineered to meet the increasing performance and sustainability demands of modern electronics.
Conductive polymers are organic materials capable of transporting electrical charge while retaining the flexibility, light weight, and processability of plastics. This unique combination enables their use in a wide range of applications where traditional conductive materials such as metals or carbon additives are limited by rigidity, weight, or environmental impact.
The materials developed by Westra Materials offer high electrical conductivity, mechanical cohesion, and chemical stability in a single polymer system. Unlike conventional conductive solutions, these polymers can be processed from safe, non-toxic solvents, supporting scalable and cost-effective manufacturing methods such as printing, coating, or spraying.
Key benefits of Westra Materials’s conductive polymers include
Applications include conductive binders in lithium-ion batteries, replacing PFAS-containing materials while enhancing electrode performance, polymer capacitors, with stable operation demonstrated under high temperature, extending use into demanding environments such as automotive power electronics and electron transport materials in solar cells, improving charge extraction and long-term device stability.
Conductive polymers represent a key enabling technology for the future of sustainable electronics, supporting the transition to cleaner energy systems, more resource-efficient manufacturing, and longer-lasting devices.
