In electronics, processing is complex and uses many materials. They can have both processing and component defects. These defects are obvious or potential. Obvious defects make the product not work, like short or broken circuits. Products with possible defects may be used temporarily. But, the defects will be quickly exposed in use. Then, the product…

Plastic degrades when people use, process, and store it. This happens due to things like light, oxygen, heat, radiation, smell, rain, mold, and bacteria. They destroy the chemical structure, which causes the original good performance to be lost. This is called aging. Plastic ages mainly shows in discoloration. It also shows in changes to physical,…
