A conducting pipe, also known as a drive pipe, is a short, large diameter pipe used to support the initial sedimentary portion of a well and prevent collapse. It also serves to protect from water carrying sands and drilling debris, and can be installed using drilling or pile driving techniques. The pipe also seals off […]
Conductive deafness is caused by a defect in the ear’s ability to conduct sound waves, resulting in muffled or distorted sounds. Earwax, foreign bodies, perforation of the eardrum, and blockage in the middle ear are common causes. Some cases can be treated, while others are permanent. Sensorineural deafness is caused by disruptions in the neural […]
Conductive silicone is a material that connects electrical components to a substrate and acts as a heat sink. It can be in the form of gels, rubbers, or liquids but is usually a paste. It has advantages over traditional lead solder, including lower curing temperature and reduced mismatch coefficient of thermal expansion. It is also […]
Conductive adhesive is important for electrical projects, with varying levels of conductivity and adhesion strength. It comes in tape form to prevent leakage, but outgassing can be a problem, so low-outgassing versions should be considered. The carrier material determines conductivity, with copper being better than carbon. Low adhesion may be needed for some projects. Tape […]
Conductive epoxy is a strong adhesive used in the electronics industry, made conductive by materials like silver or nickel. Epoxy Technology, Inc. was the first to supply it in 1966. Conductive silver epoxy is particularly strong and useful for metal joining and circuit board repair. It can also bond standard building materials. Curing time is […]
