Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste: Descriptions, Electrical Usage and Applications

Conductive adhesive paste is the glue form of conductive adhesive, and more advantageous than soldering processes. Since it is more flexible than solder, it is able to cope with vibrations better, and its curing temperature is below the soldering temperature which is important when soldering temperature can be harmful for substrates, so conductive adhesive paste is excellent way for electrical connections on temperature-sensitive substrates, and components. Silver conductive adhesive paste is the most conductive one in conductive adhesives, and circuit resistivity 8.0x10-6Ω cm for highly conductive paste. Therefore, it is commonly used in applications in which low electrical resistance needed.

Although it is expensive for use in solar panels, low resistivity prevent loss of power, so it increase the effectivity. In terms of strength, silver conductive adhesive paste increase the lifetime of solar cells, so that makes it crucial for reliability of solar panels since manufacturers want to provide 25-year warranties. As an applications, in order to reduce the power loss to minimum in dye-sensitized solar cell caused by increase of battery resistance while it is charging, silver conductive adhesive paste have been used for current collection wiring of transparent conductive glass substrate. To support this application, a group tested the silver adhesive conductive paste with conventional sintering type in the table below.

Low resistivity, and mechanical properties of silver conductive adhesive paste allow it to construct many different connection construction. In addition, they can be used for surface mount to replace solder pastes, since they are low in weight and requires less volume than thin solders. For example, in a case study, to construct Z-axis interconnecting for a flip-chip plastic ball grid array package with a 150 µm die pad pitch, they used a silver filled conductive adhesive, they concluded that it maintained strength after 1000 cycle of thermal cycling from -55° C to 120°C.
Despite the fact that silver conductive adhesive paste is expensive to make ordinary connections, low resistivity, flexibility, low curing temperature, form an exclusive access to efficiency and effectivity. As a result, it is necessary for research which electrical qualities considered.

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...

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. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...

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 ...
