What Solvent Breaks Down Parylene?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Mar 3, 2017

While parylene provides a reliable, versatile conformal coating, it can require removal.  When circumstances necessitate removal of liquid coatings – acrylic, epoxy, silicone or urethane – a wide range of chemical solvents can be used to detach the film from the underlying substrate.  No single chemical material/process is equally successful for all uses, but solvent […]

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

Nano Coating and Conformal Coating: A Functional Comparison

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Feb 3, 2017

The engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale, nanotechnology encompasses management of individual atoms, combined into effective working units, often complex as machines.   Yielding advantages like enhanced chemical reactivity and strength than larger-scale structures, they offer greater control of the light spectrum and weigh significantly less.  Incredibly small, one nanometer
