The second episode of Engineering What’s Next, a podcast series from Qnity, is now available on I-Connect007. The series explores the materials, technologies, and expertise shaping the next generation of electronics.
In “Materials for Mission-Critical Reliability,” host Marcy LaRont speaks with Rich Wessel, Industrial Application Leader, Laminates, about the increasingly complex demands placed on materials as electronics move into more challenging and mission-critical applications.
From aerospace and automotive systems to AI infrastructure and humanoid robotics, high performance and high reliability are becoming increasingly interconnected. Wessel discusses the thermal, electrical, and mechanical challenges engineers must consider as systems become more powerful, compact, and complex—and the role advanced materials play in meeting those demands.
The conversation also examines why performance and reliability must be considered early in the design process. Wessel explains how collaboration among material suppliers, designers, fabricators, and other stakeholders can help identify potential challenges earlier and support more reliable outcomes from design through manufacturing.
“Materials for Mission-Critical Reliability” is the second installment of Engineering What’s Next, which brings together Qnity technical experts to discuss evolving electronics requirements and the materials science behind emerging applications and technologies.
Listen to Episode 2, “Materials for Mission-Critical Reliability,” now on I-Connect007. Also available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
