Polymers in Electronic Packaging: Introduction

January 8, 2018 By Jeffrey Gotro Leave a Comment

Happy New Year and Best Wishes for a Prosperous 2018! Last year I had a series of posts on specific uses of polymers in electronic packaging.  I am in the process of developing an eBook on this topic and have identified new content that I want to include.  I will add the content during my weekly blog posts and then complete the eBook later in the year . Let’s get started ... [Click to Continue...]

Polymer Innovation Blog

I’m Dr. Jeff Gotro and welcome to the Polymer Innovation Blog. Over the last 40 years I have been involved in polymer research, along with product and process development. I acquired invaluable experience working for IBM, AlliedSignal, Honeywell, Ablestik Labs (now Henkel) and in multiple consulting projects. In this blog, I (along with some guest contributors) will share our experiences, tips, and “tricks of the trade” to get more out of your innovation efforts and discuss new trends and technical advances in the polymer industry.
