Solvent Resistance of Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, May 12, 2017

The parylene variants are resistant to solvents and protect substrates solvents.  This high level of security is maintained through temperatures of 150° C, seldom encountered in the actual use of PCBs or related electronics.  These properties are largely a development of the unique molecular structure of parylene polymers, rendering them:

The acronym UAV stands for an unmanned aerial vehicle, an aircraft piloted by remote control or onboard computers.  UAVs are an integral element of America’s unmanned aircraft system (UAS), consisting of three basic components:

Protecting Solar Panel Electronics with Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Apr 28, 2017

Like any other renewable energy technology, electronics for solar (photovoltaic) panels are necessary for transforming, transmitting, and monitoring the system.  Unfortunately, system electronics can be fragile, and frequently are the panel’s weakest link.  Converting the sun’s light to electricity, solar panels have demonstrated their utility in numerous operational contexts.  The basic op
