Conformal coatings have been used in the electroni cs\, automotive\, defense\, aerospace and medical device industries for ma ny years in a number of surface modification roles\, including: &bull\; Is olate/protect device surfaces from various environments &bull\; Provide se lective or overall electrical insulation &bull\; Improve lubricity/reduce tackiness &bull\; Stabilize/consolidate surfaces by micro-particle immobil ization &bull\; Stabilize very delicate micro structures &bull\; Function as an interface that is non-inhibitory to tissue growth As devices and com ponents within these industries become smaller and increasingly complex\, they present unique challenges for many conformal coatings. Parylene is an ultra-thin (typically 500 angstroms to 75 microns)\, inert\, transparent coating that meets these unique challenges . Parylene provides highly usef ul dielectric and barrier properties per unit thickness\, as well as extre me chemical inertness and freedom from pinholes. The coating is also bioco mpatible. Parylene protects components and devices\, including circuit car d assemblies\, MEMS\, sensors\, LEDs\, cores\, lab-on-a-chip devices\, pac emakers\, stents\, and cochlear implants\, to name only a few. This webina r will focus on the Parylene&rsquo\;s unique properties\, how the coating is applied\, examples of applications that benefit from Parylene&rsquo\;s properties\, and advances that have been made in adhesion technologies. Th e 45 minute presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of questions and a nswers by SCS technical staff. To register for the event\, visit SCSwebin ars.com.
