Materials such as semiconductors or composites with specialized properties for electrical, optical and specialty applications.
Additive Manufacturing Materials are the materials used in additive manufacturing machines to make the parts. The materials are most commonly plastic but can also be metal, or ceramic or even organic. Plastic is often in the form of filament or uv cured resin, and sometimes as a powder. Metal is most often in powder form. Ceramic may be in power or in clay form.
Conductive compounds provide an electrically and/or thermally conductive path between components.
Components and materials consisting of a high conductivity, soft & oxidation resistant material often with a second phase to provide anti-welding and/or arc-resistance. Utilized in circuit breakers, relays and for EDM applications.
Electrical insulation and dielectric materials includes various forms of materials that surround and protect electrical conductors and prevent unwanted current flow, leakage or crosstalk.
Encapsulants and potting compounds are resins or adhesives that are used to encapsulate circuit boards and semiconductors, fill containers of electronic components, and infiltrate electrical coils. They provide environmental protection, electrical insulation and other specialized characteristics.
Insulating varnishes and impregnating resins are designed for applications that require a low-viscosity resin or varnish for coil impregnation or magnet wire coating insulation. The resin may infiltrate the coil or electrical device through dipping, trick
Nanomaterials have features or particle sizes in the range of 1 to 100 nm.
Optical crystals are transparent in different spectral regions, depending upon the crystal material.
Radar absorbing materials and structures are designed to absorb radar waves and convert them to heat. Because these radar waves are not returned, radar absorbing materials (RAM) and radar absorbing structures (RAS) provide a reduced signature for detection.
Superconductors and superconducting materials conduct electricity without resistance.
Thin film materials are high purity materials and chemicals such as precursor gases, sputtering targets, or evaporation filaments used to form or modify thin film deposits and substrates.
