Exponential Changes in Electronics Vapour Permeability and Temperature
Versaperm, a leader in vapour permeability measurement technology, has announced new capabilities that address a critical challenge in modern electronics - understanding how vapour permeability changes approximately exponentially with temperature. This means that even small rises in temperature can cause disproportionately large increases in vapour transmission, with significant consequences for both performance and safety. It a crucial factor in the design and reliability of microelectronics packaging, organic electronics such as OLEDs, flexible displays and sensors and lithium-ion batteries. In microelectronic packaging this effect accelerates moisture ingress during thermal cycling, leading to corrosion and delamination. In organic electronics it shortens device lifetimes by degrading sensitive active layers and in lithium-ion batteries it can contribute to dangerous failure modes including thermal runaway. Recognising and quantifying these temperature-driven changes is therefore essential to safeguarding reliability and preventing catastrophic failures. Versaperm’s advanced mass spectrometer system provides an industry-leading solution by offering direct and highly sensitive measurement of vapour permeability across a vast range of conditions. The equipment can replicate both real-world and extreme environments by controlling temperatures from -80 to 1100°C and pressures from vacuum up to 300 bar. This allows manufacturers, researchers and quality engineers to understand exactly how materials and encapsulation systems behave not just in steady state conditions but also under the elevated temperatures and pressures that accelerate vapour transport. By enabling accurate, reproducible and application-specific measurement of vapour permeability - and by highlighting the critical, exponential impact of temperature - Versaperm provides the knowledge that allows the electronics industry to design for durability and safety in some of its most demanding applications.
