Technology Focus: Develop and evaluate nanoparticle filled conformal coatings designed to provide long term whisker penetration resistance and coverage on tin rich metal surfaces prone to whisker growth in commercial lead-free electronics used in modern DoD systems. Research Objectives: Identify the fundamental mechanisms by which conformal coatings provide long-term tin whisker penetration resistance and inhibit nucleation/growth. Correlate mechanical properties and coverage thickness to whisker penetration resistance. Project Progress and Results: Functionalized nanosilica and non-functional nanoalumina enhanced polyurethane conformal coatings have shown improved spray coating coverage characteristics and crack resistance during thermal cycling fatigue testing. Lead-free assembly whisker mitigation validation testing is in process. Technology Transition: Current project partners provide coating materials to industry. SERDP test data will be considered during updates to the DoD adopted IPC standards for coating materials and coverage.
