| Abstract: The present invention relates to composite coatings including particles
embedded in a matrix, as well as methods and uses thereof. In some
examples, the particles are aligned to enhance mitigation of whisker
formation from an underlying metal material. Such coatings can be applied
to electrical components, thereby reducing the possibility of electrical
short circuits from aberrant whisker growth. |
