Mica is a natural silicate mineral prized in aerospace for its extreme heat tolerance, electrical insulation, and lightweight. Its layered structure lets it be split into thin, flexible sheets that still retain excellent mechanical strength. In practical terms, mica’s very high dielectric strength and thermal stability make it ideal for insulatin

Mica is a family of naturally layered silicate minerals; the main industrial types are muscovite (a light, potassium mica) and phlogopite (a magnesium-rich mica). These can be split into fragile, rigid sheets that are electrically insulating and chemically inert. In practice, mica is formed into rigid or flexible boards, tape, washers, or laminar g

Electric vehicle (EV) battery modules demand robust insulation and fire safety. Mica, a layered silicate (muscovite or phlogopite), has emerged as a critical insulation material in EV packs. In practice, die-cut mica sheets (gaskets, washers, tubes, and insulators) are placed between cells and module walls. Mica’s sheet structure yields ultra–h
