I did a search on the web and found two things:
(1) Quaternary ammonium salts are used as rust
inhibitors for steel/concrete constructions.
One of the ways this stuff is applied within
an existing structure is to use an electric
field to make it electromigrate within.
(2) Goto http://www.rawspace.com/faradnet/
and possibly ask them. Apparently from their
website they have done some research into this.
Is it possible that Q4 caps are susceptible
to some sort of electromigration?
