Light materials for Electric vehicles

CANOE is a R&T center, French non-profit RTO. CANOE is focused onto i) reactive liquid acrylic-based resin materials formulation, ii) bio-based carbon fibre carbonisation process, iii) fibre-reinforced thermoplastic acrylic-based composite manufacturing process (infusion, RTM, pultrusion, filament winding), iv) acrylic composite recycling process and v) characterization and materials testing. CANOE has developed a strong experience onto the development of UD fibre-reinforced thermoplastic tape by impregnation method. CANOE’s main objective is to support companies, particularly SMEs, in the development of new products and processes through pilot line capabilities (from TRL3 to TRL6): R&D services (feasibility study, prototyping, scale-up demonstration, materials testing….), R&D cooperative projects and training courses. CANOE mainly addresses the following application sectors: transport (automotive, aerospace, railway, marine industry…), defence, renewable energy (electrode and pack for battery, H2 pressure composite storage vessel, wind energy composite blade, photovoltaic panel), sustainable building, sport and leisure.
