abstract = "This work aims to fabricate a small-scale battery module with the baseline RBD-CFRC and conduct mechanical crush test to develop an initial thermal runaway model. Test the adhesive properties of the RBD-CFRCs using their resin constituent, ultrasonic welding, and other resins employed today. Recommend a future direction for resin development to enable the welding of RBDCFRCs to dissimilar materials. Time and Cost Permitting. Iterate on resin development for flame resistance and adhesive properties, demonstrating how thermal runaway can be reduced or joining properties can be improved.",
