Is Parylene a Nanocoat?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Aug 17, 2018

As the electrical components used to power printed circuit boards (PCBs) grow smaller, conventional conformal films become less effective for coating them.  Ongoing development of microelectricalmechanical systems (MEMS) and nano technology (NT), has little room for the thicker conformal films provided by liquid materials, such as acrylic, epoxy, silicone and urethane.   Nanocoats (NCs) are inc

Different Coatings for Electronics

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jan 26, 2018

The value of polymeric conformal coatings for protecting printed circuit boards (PCBs) from functional retardants like dust, corrosion, moisture, and temperature fluctuations is well-known. What may be less known is, that as the electrical components used in PCBs become smaller, traditional conformal films are commensurately less effective for certain coating purposes. With the rise of […]

Nano Coating vs Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Feb 24, 2017

Although its basic component is remarkably small – with 25,400,000 nanometers included in just one inch(!!) — nanotechnology encompasses a growing, interdisciplinary field with an unlimited future.  Nanowires and nanotubes are used in transistors for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and associated electronic assemblies.  Bio-nanobatteries, capacitators, LCDs, and microprocessors represent j
