"Introduction to Coatings for Electronics" will be offered on April 6, with Robert E. Belke Jr., of Visteon Corporation, serving as the instructor. Introduction to Coatings for Electronics April 6, 2006; 2:00-3:30 (ET) This course examines the fundamental reasons for conformal coatings Conformal coating material is applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes that if uncoated (non-protected) could result in a complete failure of the electronic system. and the basic chemistry involved with these coatings to protect electronic devices. Conformal coatings testing, application methods used in manufacturing, and quality control are also highlighted. The program addresses the environmental impact and concerns revolving around conformal coatings and details how these concerns have helped to develop mainstream materials and processes. Although the focus is oriented o·ri·ent n. 1. Orient The countries of Asia, especially of eastern Asia. 2. a. The luster characteristic of a pearl of high quality. b.

The session concludes with a brief discussion of advanced developments in conformal coatings. Who Should Attend R & D personnel, technology managers, electronics packaging engineers, quality control/reliability engineers, and coating and plastic specialists involved in the area of electronics component manufacture will benefit. In addition, the course is designed for suppliers to the electronics conformal coatings market, companies that formulate formulate /for·mu·late/ (for´mu-lat) 1. to state in the form of a formula. 2. to prepare in accordance with a prescribed or specified method. such coatings, and end-users that are involved in the design and selection of electronics coatings. Learning Objectives * Discuss the fundamental reasons for conformal coating electronic devices * Explore the key chemistries used for conformal coating and implications for manufacturing * Describe the key attributes explored when selecting a conformal coating for a particular application * Examine common defects and acceptability criteria for electronic coatings in high volume manufacturing * Explore the key manufacturing processes, including spraying, dip, fill-extract, and gas-phase polymerization polymerization Any process in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. The monomer molecules—which in the polymer usually number from at least 100 to many thousands—may or may not all be the same. , as well as newer techniques, such as selective spraying, used to apply conformal coatings to electronic assemblies * Discuss fundamental environmental regulations and their impact on coating strategy * Review testing criteria and techniques associated with surface damageability and long-term Long-term Three or more years.

Compare short-term. weatherability of plastic components Course Instructor As Technical Fellow, Polymer Materials, for Visteon, Mr. Belke's duties focus on the application of adhesives, sealants, and coatings in the area of automotive electronics packaging for both Visteon and Ford Motor Company. He has 15 years of experience in advanced automotive packaging and an additional 12 years of experience in military electronics packaging with General Electric as a Polymer Scientist at the GE Electronics Laboratory. Mr. Belke received an M.S. Degree in Polymer Chemistry Polymer chemistry or macromolecular chemistry is a multidisciplinary science that deals with the chemical synthesis and chemical properties of polymers or macromolecules. from Syracuse University Syracuse University, main campus at Syracuse, N.Y.; coeducational; chartered 1870, opened 1871. Syracuse is noted for its research programs in government and industry; facilities include the Center for Science and Technology, the Newhouse Communications Center, and , with additional graduate work in Polymer Chemistry and Physical Metallurgy metallurgy (mĕt`əlûr'jē), science and technology of metals and their alloys. Modern metallurgical research is concerned with the preparation of radioactive metals, with obtaining metals economically from low-grade ores, with at both Syracuse University and Brooklyn Polytechnic. He holds over 40 U.S. patents with numerous additional foreign patents and publications to his credit primarily in the area of electronic packaging and advanced circuit board materials/design.
