Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste and Applications

Electrically conductive adhesives are composites of polymeric matrices and electrically conductive fillers. The polymeric resin, such as an epoxy, a silicone, or a polyimide, provides physical and mechanical properties such as adhesion, mechanical strength, impact strength, and the metal filler (such as, silver, gold, nickel, or copper) conducts electricity. Metal-filled thermoset polymers were first patented as electrically conductive adhesives in the 1950s. Recently, electrically conductive adhesive materials have been identified as one of the major alternatives for lead-containing solders for microelectronics packaging applications.
Electrically conductive adhesives offer numerous advantages over conventional solder technology, such as environmental friendliness, mild processing conditions which enable the use of heat-sensitive and low-cost components and substrates, fewer processing steps which reduce processing cost, low stress on the substrates, and fine-pitch interconnect capability which enables the miniaturization of electronic devices. Therefore, conductive adhesives have been used in flat panel displays such as LCD and smart card applications as an interconnect material and in flip-chip assembly, CSP (chip-scale package) and BGA (ball grid array) applications in replacement of the solder.
As we mentioned before silver is one the metals that is used in electrically conductive adhesive pastes. Among different metal particles, silver flakes are the most commonly used conductive fillers because of the high conductivity and the maximum contact between flakes. In addition, silver is unique among all the cost-effective metals by nature of its conductive oxide
Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste bonds very well to a variety of surfaces. This adhesive bonds very well to most substrates used in electronic assemblies; resists thermal and mechanical shocks; and provides the low resistivity needed for many operating conditions.
So it can be said that an electrically conductive silver-filled epoxy adhesive that is an excellent replacement for RTV silicones and rigid epoxy systems where a compliant, electrically conductive adhesive system with good bond strength to a variety of substrates is required. They can find extensive use in bonding electronic components to circuit boards and leadframes, and it is an excellent choice where solder temperatures are too high for the substrates.

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle.

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
