Enclosure gaps vary, large panels aren't perfectly flat, fasteners pull harder in some areas than others, temperatures change, and the gasket itself can behave differently after years under compression.
Rogers Corporation, 3M and Marian are looking at a BESS enclosure gasket and the decisions behind its complete construction, from the sealing material and adhesive to the finished converted part.
Designed specifically for engineers and technical professionals who work with elastomeric materials, Elastomeric Insights is our free email newsletter that brings together a selection of our most useful resources in each edition.
In this special elective with 3M, we’re exploring what foam bonding failure modes can reveal about adhesive performance.
Biogenic carbon testing applies a similar idea to modern materials. For engineers, that matters because a bio-based claim should not rely on trust alone.
An engineer gets a material option across their desk with a lower carbon footprint claim, what was included in the calculation?
Sustainability language is everywhere, but in high-performance materials, the word sustainable is not specific enough on its own.
Learn more about how PORON® ReSource30 polyurethane foam makes sense in real applications from Rogers product experts.
With its combination of precise ranging, robustness, and multi function capability, ultra wideband has become a foundational technology across a wide range of applications.
When a material is introduced as a "more sustainable" alternative, engineers immediately ask a different question: does it perform the same?
As vehicles become increasingly intelligent, the focus of innovation is shifting from what happens outside the car to what happens through the car's in-cabin radar technology.
Sustainability is becoming a common part of material selection conversations, but performance and reliability remain non-negotiable for engineers.
Having your design for an electronic system fail at the validation stage can be frustrating and costly, especially when the mechanical design is sound and UL94 V-0 requirements have been met.
Engineers across many industries face the same design challenge: how to fill uneven gaps, protect sensitive components, and still meet flame safety requirements within compact electronic assemblies.
As Battery energy storage systems scale in size and deployment, fire safety has become one of the most closely scrutinized aspects of their design.
As computing power increases, system density rises with it, compressing thermal, mechanical, and safety margins inside server enclosures.
