Microbial Deterioration of Electrical Insulating and other Materials of Construction used in Electronic Equipment.

Abstract

This report provides information on the fungus resistance and deterioration of plastics and other dielectric materials used in military electronic equipment exposed to jungle and other adverse environments. Included are; definitions, background information, design problems, effects of fungi on electronic characteristics, microbiological resistance of plastics and plasticizers, microbial degradation, and antibacteriostat and antifungal agents.
