Material Science Expertise

Our Material Science Expertise doesn’t end at material selection but extends to optimized manufacturing practices. For example, high-strength adhesives can be difficult to convert cleanly, but we’ve developed processes to ensure precise, tight tolerance components. These high-performance adhesives are also expensive, so Boyd has developed a way to increase material utilization with Segmented Frames for screens and bezel bonding. Our solutions provide a zero-gap tolerance, generating components that are just as functional but less expensive than our competitors.

From commodity plastics to engineering polymers, there is an enormous pool of plastic materials available today. As they all exhibit discrete physical, chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties, selecting the right material can be extremely daunting. The team at Boyd will provide material recommendations based on years of industry experience and knowledge across varied industries. We work closely with our network of suppliers to connect our customers with the right resources to solve their exact problems.

Graphite is another material whose brittleness and flakiness limit its use in optically clear applications or hyper-clean environments like space. The Boyd team leverages our Material Science Expertise to generate processes that handle adhesives, laminates, and metals in such a way to ensure clean solutions that benefit from the lightweight heat spreading characteristics of graphite. Our Encapsulated Graphite process enables Boyd to produce high thermal conductivity enclosures, chassis, and thermal straps.

Boyd’s Material Science Expertise is geared to give you the most viable options available on the market and help guide you to make informed decisions on your products.
