From BlackBerrys to iPhones, smartphones have become the newest craze in society. These handsets offer enhanced computing abilities and combine several devices into one. Essentially, they are multitaskers, integrating cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cameras and digital media players into a single unit; allowing the different functions to work together so that its users can stay constantly connected. Given the complexity of these devices, the range of adhesive properties required for their assembly is extensive and includes:
- Electrical insulation
- Electrical conductivity
- Vibration, shock and impact resistance
- High temperature resistance
- Optical clarity
- Superior bond strength to similar and dissimilar substrates
