Plastic encapsulated microcircuits with aluminum triple track structures were exposed to mixed flowing gas conditions to simulate and accelerate possible environments during long-term storage. No increase in resistance was measured and no corrosion products were observed after 800 h of accelerated exposure. Further experimentation indicated that chloride gas reacts with surface moisture in micr...

An X-ray crystallographic study demonstrated that the tris complex of Al3+ with 2-methyl-8-quinolinol (Hmq), [Al(mq)3], had a discrete octahedral geometry in a meridional configuration with respect to mq-; the Al-N bonds were appreciably elongated. In organic solvents, the complex reacted with water to give a lower species of a mu-oxo dimer, [Al2O(mq)4], and a protonated ligand, depending on th...

In this study, a novel approach to metakaolin dealumination to produce aluminum chloride from Egyptian kaolin has been described and the prepared aluminum chloride can be used to produce polyaluminum chlorides (PACs) with various basicities (B = OH/Al values). The prepared PACs which contain Al13 ([AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12] 7+ ) was investigated using XRD and colorimetric method . In XRD spectra, ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of D-ribose and L-cysteine on aluminum-induced testicular damage in male Sprague-Dawley rats. METHOD A total number of thirty-five (35) adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (AD). Group A (comprised five (5) rats) was designated the Control Group that received Physiological Saline; while groups B, C, and D (comprised ten (10...

The goal of this study was to develop a rechargeable aluminum–air battery with high capacity and longterm durability in charge–discharge electrochemical reactions. We used aluminum terephthalate as a metal–organic framework (MOF) material for the air cathode and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride as an ionic liquid electrolyte. When we used aluminum terephthalate as an air cathode material, t...

A microfabricated electrophoresis chip with an integrated contactless conductivity detection system is described. The new contactless conductivity microchip detector is based on placing two planar sensing aluminum film electrodes on the outer side of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microchip (without contacting the solution) and measuring the impedance of the solution in the separation chann...
