Adhesive Bonding Via Exposure to Variable Frequency Microwave Radiation

Variable Frequency Microwave (VFM)

Microwave processing of materials is a relatively new technology advancement alternative that provides new approaches for enhancing material properties as well as economic advantages through energy savings and accelerated product development. Factors that hinder the use of microwaves in materials processing are declining, so that prospect for the development of this technology seem to be very p...

Vocabulary Acquisition through Frequency Exposure via Reading

Non-thermal biomarkers of exposure to radiofrequency/microwave radiation.

This article gives a review or several hypotheses on the biological effects of non-thermal radiofrequency/microwave (RF/MW) radiation and discusses our own findings from animal and in vitro studies performed over the last decade. We have found that RF/MW radiation disturbs cell proliferation and leads to cell differentiation in the bone marrow, which is reflected in the peripheral blood of rats...

Si-si Bonding Using Rf and Microwave Radiation

Electromagnetic radiation ranging in frequency from a few MHz to tens of GHz has been used to volumetrically heat silicon above 1000°C in only a few seconds. Typical power is <1.5 kW. This technique has successfully produced direct Si wafer-to-wafer bonds in only five minutes without the use of any intermediate glue layer. Infrared images indicate void free bonds, and knife-edge tests could not...

Adhesive bonding of composites

 provision of large, stress-bearing area  excellent fatigue strength  good shock absorption  reduced galvanic corrosion  no need to have access to far-side of adherend to make joint  bonding is possible on dissimilar materials  provision of smooth contours and sections around joint areas  sealing  improved damping which increases structural stiffness  reduction in distortion and metal...
