Printed circuit boards for electronic devices are generally made of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin. A major advantage is that it lasts practically forever. A major disadvantage is that it lasts ...

A green printed circuit board (PCB) has been developed using cheap, abundant fibres extracted from banana and sisal plants 1, which could replace plastic and glass-fibre materials commonly used in ...

(Nanowerk News) For many years, Thomas Geiger has been conducting research in the field of cellulose fibrils – fine fibers that can be produced from wood pulp or agricultural waste, for example.

How creative are you when you make your circuit boards? Do you hunt around for different materials to use for the board? As long as it’s an insulator and can handle the heat of a soldering iron, then ...

A recent United Nations report found that the world generated 137 billion pounds of electronic waste in 2022, an 82% increase from 2010. Yet less than a quarter of 2022’s e-waste was recycled. While ...

Space savings, greater reliability, low mass, and high ductility are some of the advantages offered by flexible PCBs, but designers must also prepare for their complexity. Flexible printed circuit ...

A new type of printed circuit board (PCB) could drastically reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills. Although most PCBs are difficult to recycle, such is not the case with this ...

German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG announced that it’s producing a printed circuit board (PCB) that dissolves in water. Sourced from UK startup Jiva Materials, the plant-based ...

Effective printed-circuit-board cleaning requires special fluids, tools, and methods. Here are some of the most common to use and to avoid. How to effectively clean and dry printed circuit boards at ...
