With the continuous improvement of national science and technology level, some advanced high-tech has been focus country. It played an important role in enhancing lives people improving their living habits. In particular, technical means represented by Internet have completely subverted past lifestyle. But for development entire country, it is necessary to strengthen research industry new mater...

The mechanical durability of conductive materials affects the performance and lifetimes of devices ranging from electrical circuits to battery electrode materials. Mismatches in thermal expansion coeffi cient, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio between the conductive materials and packaging materials in integrated circuits lead to delaminations and fractures both within conductive pathways an...

The Kelvin probe measures surface electrical potential without making physical contact with the specimen. It relies on capacitive coupling between an oscillating metal tip that is normal to a specimen's surface. Kelvin probes have been increasingly used to study surface and electrical properties of metals and semiconductors and are capable of detecting material surface potentials with submilliv...

A novel class of organometallic polymers comprising N-heterocyclic carbenes and transition metals was shown to have potential as an electrically conductive, self-healing material. These polymers were found to exhibit conductivities of the order of 10(-3) S cm-1 and showed structurally dynamic characteristics in the solid-state. Thin films of these materials were cast onto silicon wafers, then s...

INTRODUCTION ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE issues can arise anywhere in electronic equipment with unpredictable and troublesome effects. These issues challenge hardware design engineers, and the challenges escalate as today’s electronic equipment becomes both thinner and multifunctional. For example, modern cellular phones are being equipped with high-speed microprocessors, wireless LANs, Blueto...

The TET (transient electro-thermal) technique is an effective approach developed to measure the thermal diffusivity of solid materials, including conductive, semi-conductive or nonconductive one-dimensional structures. This technique broadens the measurement scope of materials (conductive and nonconductive) and improves the accuracy and stability. If the sample (especially biomaterials, such as...

Direct write (DW) of conductive materials in the context of Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables embedded electronics within fabricated parts. Previous works use manual, hybrid, and native material patterning systems to deposit conductive materials in parts fabricated by different AM technologies. This capability could eliminate cabled interconnects and redundant electronics packaging, resulting...
