    About This Project

    This project explores the feasibility of using shear thickening materials as a reworkable encapsulant for marine electronics. Traditional methods for waterproofing electronics are often bulky, messy, or irreversible. Shear thickening materials distribute pressure like a liquid but can be removed easily like a solid. The purpose of this study is to understand and share the capabilities and limitations of protecting marine electronics this way.
