Electronic:
- Chips in electronic computing devices are laminated hybrid systems composed of a number of layers (materials) which serve different functions.
- Chip must have good heat transfer properties and must be able to withstand induced thermal stresses without delaminating.
- The composite finds a vast usage in electronic packaging materials. The Styrofoam, particle bonded materials formed from paper pulp, air-bubble cushioned plastic sheets, etc. are some of the popular materials used in the packing.
