Abstract:
Conformal coatings provide environmental protection for sensitive military electronics. Preliminary MCNP™ modeling of metal oxide impregnated acrylic conformal coatings indicates an effective shield for gammas below 10 keV and a reduction in neutron displacement damage to Si-based electronics across the Watt spectrum. This work provides data which can allow an optimal overall shielding worth per total weight to eventually be evaluated.
