Why 85/85 test is a wrong test choice for PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)?

If you are considering how to test your product, a combined high humidity and high temperature test is probably one of the tests on your list. It is one of the most common accelerated reliability test methods, especially in electronics. 85/85 test is most likely the...

Unstable resistance – Why flexible electronics should be monitored in real-time during testing

Flexible electronics means applications build with flexible substrates and materials, enabling bending and stretching of the applications. Therefore products which would not be possible with traditional electronics can be accomplished. Application such as wearable and...

Epoxy adhesive may not be the best choice for flexible structures

As a part of Smart2Go and our own combinatory stretch and bend tester projects, we have been doing bending testing for flex-to-flex (FOF) attachments. Bending tests and other mechanical test methods are extremely important in dynamic flex applications, since a product...

How should flexible and stretchable structures be tested for reliability?

Application such as wearable and medical electronics and flexible displays have unique structures compared to traditional electronics - they tend to implement novel flexible and stretchable structures and materials. These structures enable completely new and...
