I-Connect007 has announced the release of a new episode in its Voices of the Industry podcast series, titled “Bonding Innovation: How Adhesives and Coatings Are Powering the Next Generation of Electronics.” Hosted by Nolan Johnson, this insightful discussion dives deep into the evolving world of adhesives and coatings—materials that are redefining performance, reliability, and design in modern electronics manufacturing.
In this episode, Dymax's Doug Katze, a leading expert in adhesive technologies, delivers what can only be described as a master class on how these critical materials are adapting to meet rapidly changing market demands. Katze explains how innovation in adhesives and coatings is enabling new design possibilities, improving environmental resistance, and addressing challenges in miniaturization, heat management, and sustainability.
Listeners will gain valuable insight into:
- The science behind today’s most advanced adhesive and coating formulations
- How manufacturers are leveraging these materials to improve product performance and reliability
- Market trends and technological drivers shaping the next generation of electronics assembly
“Adhesives and coatings may not always get the spotlight, but they’re at the heart of every major electronics innovation,” says host Nolan Johnson. “Doug’s expertise sheds light on how these materials are doing far more than holding things together—they’re enabling the industry’s future.”
This episode is now available for streaming or download here, as well as through major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
