Significant innovations in Pb-free solder alloy compositions are being driven by volume manufacturing and field experiences.
The adhesion and wear of colloidal silica nanoparticles (50 nm diameter) dispersed in a film have been directly studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) under aqueous solution conditions.
Both technical feasibility and cost effectiveness have been demonstrated by adhesive bonding of light metal assemblies in a number of important industries.
This study examines the influence of the microstructural properties of a silicone polymer network and the surface properties of opto-electronic substrates on the adhesive properties.
We consider a thermoelastic problem for an elongated adhesively bonded assembly with identical nondeformable adherends and a `piecewise continuous' adhesive layer: the adhesive layer consists of a
A thermoelastic problem for adhesively bonded assemblies with identical nondeformable adherends is considered.
The authors investigate adiabatic mode coupling in tapered air-silica microstructured optical fibers and demonstrate a method that allows for efficient coupling into a high-delta microstructured fi
Broadband, low-loss, and fabrication-tolerant photonic passives are of paramount importance in any photonic integrated circuit (PIC).
A new effect in nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy is predicted and observed.
Summary form only given. Pulse compression is a well-known technique to obtain short pulse duration and broad spectrum.
