How do you measure the thermal resistance of composite materials used in communication electronics ?(VIDEO)

Applications & Technologies

Communication electronics industry challenges

 

Quartz fibre composites are widely used in RF sensors, radomes, and embedded electronics across automotive, aerospace, defense and IoT sectors. Their low dielectric constant and excellent chemical stability make them ideal for wave-transparent applications, but ensuring their reliability under thermal exposure requires precise material characterization.

Why thermal resistance matters

 

Thermal exposure can degrade the mechanical properties of quartz fibre composites, even when mass loss appears minimal. Understanding exactly which thermal events affect the material, and at what temperature, is essential to predict performance and durability in real operating conditions. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is the reference method for precise and reliable thermal stability assessment.
