Fracture Toughness Analysis of Epoxy-Recycled Rubber-Based Composite Reinforced with Graphene Nanoplatelets for Structural Applications in Automotive and Aeronautics

This study proposes a new design of lightweight and cost-efficient composite materials for the aeronautic industry utilizing recycled fresh scrap rubber, epoxy resin, and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs). After manufacturing the composites, their bending strength and fracture characteristics were ...

Adhesion and Puncture Strength of Polyurethane Coating Used to Mitigate Tin Whisker Growth

Reliability of conformal coatings used to mitigate tin whisker growth depends on their ability to contain tin whiskers. Two key material properties required to assess the reliability of a polyurethane coating are documented experimentally: adhesion strength and puncture strength. A modified blister test using a predefined blister area is employed to assess ...

An Experimental Investigation of Fracture Toughness and Volume Resistivity of Symmetric Laminated Epoxy/ Glass Fiber/CNT multiscale composites

In this work an attempt is made to improve the fracture toughness and electrical conductivity of epoxy/glass fiber based laminates by the inclusion of carbon nanotube (CNT) fillers. The fiber orientation of the epoxy/ glass fiber (GF) fabric laminates was optimized based on estimation of mechanical properties. The carboxylic acid functionalized CNTs were incorporated into ...

PCB/PCBA deflection standard -- Hello, we have a stiff board that goes to HLA, where some force is applied over the board to make it fit in. This force creates some deflection/bending of the PCBA and in result we see some functional failures. I wonder if there is any standard that explains how much mechanical force or bending angle can be applied over PCB/PCBA?

PCB finish -- Looking for opinions on pic attached of ENIG finish. appears to be over-etched gold, but I am not trained up on PCB fabrication.
