Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Element Solutions Inc, parent company of several businesses innovating and manufacturing surface treatment chemicals and materials, announces the launch of the first Element Solutions Innovation Prize. The USD 15,000 prize competition is open to all levels of students and invites proposals on the topic of metal coatings science. The Innovation Prize program seeks to encourage and honor emerging talent in this technical field by providing a platform for global recognition and monetary support of their investigations.
The application process for the Innovation Prize is open until February 20, 2020, with award celebrations expected in summer 2020. “Chemists and material scientists improve the lives of all global citizens, but their work is not frequently celebrated publicly. We hope the Innovation Prize will call attention to this challenging and rewarding field and encourage new scientists to explore surface modification chemistry,“remarked Dr. Timothy Gotsick, chairman of the Innovation Prize committee. Element Solutions Inc CEO Ben Gliklich added, “There is great, relevant technology residing in academic settings, and there is also great talent currently studying in our focus areas. This prize is intended to help us identify both. We are proud to encourage the spirit of innovation and support research in chemistry and materials science.“
