Moisture sorption and transport can pose severe consequences related to the performance
and lifetime of materials in many applications. This work explores the modeling and …

Two key phenomena─ immobilization and concentration-dependent mixing free energies─
simultaneously alter the sorption thermodynamics and diffusion of vapors in materials. This …

Climate factors such as humidity and temperature have a significant impact on the corrosion
reliability of electronic products. Given the huge geographical variability in climate …

A sorption and diffusion model is developed using a mobile-immobile decomposition of the
vapor concentration. Henry's mode represents the mobile species which diffuses through the …

Uncontrolled local enclosure climate is one of the main causes of moisture related
electronics failures such as electrochemical metal migration, corrosion, alternation of …

The electronics is protected using plastic or metallic enclosures. Although, the electronics is
protected by the enclosures from the surrounding environment, the moisture can still enter …

The usage of electronics in outdoor environment is growing therefore the control of moisture
related failures in electronics are becoming more important. The main cause of these …

Exposure of electronics into harsh climate conditions leads to about 40% typical humidity
related failure modes on PCBA of the total electronics failures. These humidity related …
