The surface resistivity of a material determines the level to which it will conduct an electric charge. The lower the resistivity, the more conductive the material. Antistatic additives and electrostatic dissipative (ESD) fillers create low surface resistivity, preventing the buildup and uncontrolled di...
Semiconductors are a material with properties that fall between a good conductor (like metals) and a good insulator (like rubber). Depending on the conditions, semiconductors can be conductive or insulating. This ability to control the flow of electrical current in modern electrical devices, such ...
Crystalline solids are substances with a long-range order of the arrangement of the constituent particles. On the basis of the nature of the intermolecular forces or the bonding forces, crystalline solids can be classified into ionic, covalent, metallic, and molecular solids....
maintenance, and governance of successful UECs including, definitions, frameworks, types, formation, timelines, barriers, and enablers. Measurements of UEC success and good practices were also identified. The findings enhance the understanding of what makes a successful UEC. This review is the first ...
As a material for conductive paint, graphite is merely ground down to ultra-fine particles and mixed with a fluid medium. Since graphite does not oxidize when exposed to moisture, it allows for the use of a water-based medium to create conductive paint. This makes paint that is solvent-free...
The important feature that makes a conductive elastomer gasket a good EMI seal is its ability to provide good electrical conductivity across the gasket-flange junction. Generally, the higher the conformability and conductivity, the higher the shielding effectiveness. Surface conductivity of both the gask...
source and drain consist of either positive or negative dopedsemiconductors. The metal (or conductive silicon) gate terminal is separated from these by a nonconductive oxide layer. By applying voltage to the gate, it changes the electrical properties of the semiconductor underlying, either allowing ...
Conductive silicone is a material that is used to attach electrical components to a substrate. The reason that conductive silicone...
touchscreens use various technologies to detect and respond to user input, depending on their design. resistive touchscreens use two thin layers of electrically conductive material separated by an air gap, while capacitive touchscreens rely on electrodes to sense contact with the user's skin. ...
Solder mask.The conductive layer is covered with a solder mask, a nonconductive material that gives PCBs their green color, although other colors can be used. The solder mask acts as an insulator for the underlying traces that are etched in the conductive material. The solder mask is also ap...
