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.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
