Mr. William Easter, founder of Semplastics, X-Batt and X-Mat, hosted us at his Oviedo location yesterday. He is on the lookout for a soon-to-graduate or post-doc level electrochemist passionate about batteries. You can meet him at our December 3rd Award Banquet.This Central Florida entrepreneur and innovator focuses his team on discovering and making high performance materials that are green, sustainable, and cost competitive, some of them using recycled domestic resources. Some of the processes benefit the environment by capturing carbon dioxide. The materials have applications in clean energy, construction or electronics with potential of out performing existing materials. — X-Batt offers a path to recycle anodes from used lithium batteries and improve the performance of lithium batteries. The company just received the Voltage Award from from The Battery Innovation Center in recognition for their emerging company and/or technology with the highest potential to make a difference in batteries and electrification.— X-Mat recycles coal waste into attractive, light, heat-resistant tiles or building materials.— Semplastics supplies the chip fabrication industry and more. Thank you Mr. Easter for showing us around. Your expanding enterprise serves as an example of how the Central Florida chemical enterprise offers solutions for the betterment of society.
