A new type of printed circuit board (PCB) could drastically reduce the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills. Although most PCBs are difficult to recycle, such is not the case with this ...

Researchers have developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of ...

A hot potato: Printed circuit boards are ubiquitous; they are used in nearly all electronic devices and constitute a significant portion of the electronic waste accumulating in landfills. A new ...

Printed circuits boards are in all electronics and currently they are made of fiberglass reinforced epoxy with traces of copper to conduct electricity. Most printed circuit boards are not designed to ...

Chinese scientists have developed a method to turn the circuit boards from old computers into a strong material that could be used to make park benches and fences. Waste printed circuit boards account ...
