The development and production of heat-dissipating polymer compounds

Problem and implemented solution

Modern LED bulbs emit about 70% of the energy they consume as heat. Overheating leads to several negative consequences: - ✅ Reduced efficiency of the lamp; - ✅ Decreased light intensity; - ✅ Deterioration of the phosphor; - ✅ Lower voltage; - ✅ Changes in the color temperature of light sources. These issues necessitate an effective solution to enhance the performance and reliability of LEDs. Solution: The project "Development and Production of Heat-Dissipating Polymer Compounds" aims to create heat sinks made from heat-dissipating polymer composites (TPPCs) that can: - ✅ Optimize the cooling of LED bulbs and prevent overheating; - ✅ Improve the design for effective heat dissipation; - ✅ Utilize thermally conductive materials that provide high thermal conductivity (from 1 to 6 W/(m·K)). Benefits: Implementation of this project will bring several significant advantages: - 💡 Increased efficiency of bulbs; - 💡 Preservation of light intensity; - 💡 Extension of the lifespan of LED light sources; - Reduced energy consumption and savings on electricity bills. The project also includes the creation of granules of TPPC for use in LED cooling heat sinks. The team has already achieved considerable results, including the development of a prototype, market analysis, and receipt of testing requests from several companies. In the second phase, production of TPPC samples at a real scale is planned, along with independent laboratory testing and signing of letters of intent with potential partners. Team and Strategy: The startup team consists of professionals with experience in various fields, ensuring effective problem resolution. The business model includes partnerships with laboratories and companies for joint product development and manufacturing, focusing on attracting investment and scaling. The risks of the startup have been assessed and are under management. The team has developed a clear plan that involves collaboration with universities for prototype development, testing, and evaluation of product characteristics. Overall, the project demonstrates significant potential for successful development and market implementation.
