European Plastics has reported that the Spanish Toy Research Institute (AIJU) is working on a project to develop conductive plastic formulations, using nanofibers, which minimize electromagnetic interference in electronic toys. AIJU is looking at using carbon nanofibres in thermoplastics such as PE and PP to facilitate electrostatic dissipation, electrostatic painting and electromagnetic outer screening. All materials examined in the project must be lightweight, able to withstand a magnetic and electric field, and able to be extruded and injection molded.Learn more from European Plastics.
