07:42 AM EST, 11/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nouveau Monde Graphite ( NMG ) said Tuesday that the latest research, carried out with advanced Canadian materials scientists, demonstrates the versatility of the company's natural graphite materials beyond energy storage into electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

The collaboration supports the development of multifunctional graphite-polymer composites, a statement said. Graphite functions as a bridge between polymer composites and metallic shielding, to create multi-functional materials that combine electromagnetic protection with thermal and infrared control. As Nouveau Monde advances toward defense-grade performance, its R&D roadmap remains focused on scalable, sustainable composites that integrate energy, thermal, and stealth functionalities for intelligent systems, the company added.

The research projects were partly funded by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, PRIMA Quebec, and MITACS. Nouveau Monde holds the licences to use these projects' results for research, development and commercial exploitation, or has a right of first refusal regarding the commercial exploitation of these projects' results.

"We are transforming graphite innovation into multifunctional solutions that we believe will help us optimize our future sales mix and margins as we contemplate entering new value-added markets to serve the clean energy, advanced communication systems and specialized aeronautics markets," said chief executive Eric Desaulniers.

Nouveau Monde shares are up US$0.03, to $2.52, in New York trading
