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 ...

In my three preceding columns, I discussed the testing of sandwich panels as unit structures. This included flexural and shear testing of beams and panels. However, such tests — and hardware ...

This video explores whether ResinCrete Eco Resin can successfully bond to epoxy resin through a practical adhesion test. The ...

Use the Gardco X-Cut template tool and cutter to perform the X-cut or cross-hatch test by making closely spaced cuts through the coating to the substrate. At least two cuts intersect at 90 degrees to ...

Designed for ease of specimen preparation and throughput, this Tack Test Fixture is optimized for testing the adhesion strength of electrodes to their current collector. The contact area of the tack ...

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 ...
