A simple but effective way to double-check multi-coating finishes. Today, we see many different coatings being used in the same finishing processes, and I believe we need to be very careful that we ...

Photosensitive polymer films are commonly utilized as a dielectric layer in microelectronics packaging. The performance of the organic film is determined by the adhesion quality between the polymer ...

Surface Tester PCE-CRC 10 Hatch Cutter to assess the adhesion of coatings / suitable for thin, thick or tough coatings / large, non-slip grip / replaceable blade / portable probe/ particularly robust ...

Surface abrasion is a key predictor of long-term failure. Pilling at 10,000 cycles often predicts cracking, flaking, or delamination at 20,000–50,000 cycles. Pilling reduces slip resistance. A pilled ...

Micro-impact testing is a new repetitive contact technique, developed by Micro Materials, that is becoming more widespread as companies seek to optimise coating adhesion, toughness and resistance to ...

Silicone adhesives, along with primers, flame treatment, or plasma treatment, can be used to adhere low-surface-energy plastics to high-strength metals. For this article, several low-surface-energy ...
