Fully Polymerized Thermoplastic Adhesives for Micro Electronics.

Nano-conductive Adhesives for Nano-electronics Interconnection

With the phasing out of lead-bearing solders, electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) have been identified as one of the environmentally friendly alternatives to tin/lead (Sn/Pb) solders in electronics packaging applications. In particular, with the requirements for fine-pitch and high-performance interconnects in advanced packaging, nanoconductive adhesives are becoming more and more importan...

Thermoplastic Adhesives - the Attachment Solution for Multichip Modules

Electronic Polymers are solving new problems in the technology revolution brought on by the quest for ultimate computing performance. Computing power will increase by an order of magnitude during this decade and MultiChip Modules (MCM) will be the main enabling technology. The MCM strategy of closely packing bare die onto inorganic or polymer substrates demands new materials, especially for die...

" Conductive Adhesives – the High Tech Solution in Medical Electronics

Conductive inks and adhesives were used in the earliest electronics. Thomas Edison was the first to propose conductive adhesives as a way to replace wires all the way back in 1904. Today, adhesives are used with conventional etched copper circuit boards and also with other Polymer Thick Film (PTF) materials to produce electronic products that can be built very efficiently. Safe, reliable and lo...

Fully Biodegradable Microsupercapacitor for Power Storage in Transient Electronics

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201700157 active and passive materials are important in this context. Here, the hardware dissolves completely into ground water or biofluids after stable operation for a controlled duration. Applications include not only “green” electronics, but also temporary biomedical implants, secure data systems, and environmental monitors.[5–7] Previous demonstrations of such classes of ...
