Follow this link to watch the webinar, which is hosted by Consumer Electronics Test & Development, and took place this week.
Modern electronics contain a multitude of organic and polymeric components, ranging from seals, housings and covers to active components like liquid crystals and OLEDs. Those components can degrade or alter functionality by the influences of the environment, especially by solar radiation (natural or artificial), heat and moisture.
This online seminar addresses these effects and provides information and methods on how these issues can be tested during product development.
Attendees to the live event learned about primary weather factors and their influence on material degradation; which parts of electronic products might be affected by weathering; natural and accelerated testing (weathering) of electronic products; test methods and standards; and how to balance correlation and acceleration.
The webinar also looks at understanding environmental stress factors (UV in combination with heat and moisture) for your electronic product; testing the environmental stability of your electronic product; and improving product durability.
