Adhesives and Sealants' Role in Electronics Device Design
Mobile electronics device design trends are driving adhesive innovation.
Design is all about tradeoffs. Mobile device manufacturers have to balance everything from cost and aesthetics to performance and durability―and then design a product that can both survive and thrive in today’s competitive consumer markets.
The demand for consumer electronics is higher than ever before. There are almost as many cell-phone subscriptions (6.8 billion) as there are people on this earth (7 billion). Research shows that people spend an average of 8 hrs, 21 min sleeping a day—but spend an average of 8 hrs, 41 min on media devices. Even more interesting is the finding that the majority (81%) of smartphone users have their phones switched on all the time, even in bed.
