BaTiO3,Epoxy Composites for Electronic Applications

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY, Issue 4 2010
Leandro Ramajo
A brief review related with dielectric properties of BaTiO3/epoxy composites is presented. The composites were obtained using the dipping technique. To facilitate the mixing and modify the filler surface, a solvent and a surface coupling agent were used. Intermediate and low concentrations of solvent and silane improved microstructure and dielectric properties of the composite material, whereas higher concentrations led to composites of poor quality. Finally, a model using finite elements was used, in order to predict the composite permittivity in relation to the percentage of filler. Model results were compared with the effective medium theory and experimental results. [source]

Thermoplastic Extrusion to Highly-Loaded Thin Green Fibres Containing Pb(Zr,Ti)O3,

ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATERIALS, Issue 5 2005
J. Heiber
Because of their piezoelectric properties lead zirconate titanate (PZT) fibres are used in several electronic applications. Such fibres can be produced by extrusion. Therefore the extrusion behaviour of highly loaded thermoplastic feedstocks (PZT-polymer compound) has been investigated depending on the surfactant concentration and the powder preparation method. After sintering butterfly curves were measured for single fibres. [source]


Self-Assembly of a Donor-Acceptor Dyad Across Multiple Length Scales: Functional Architectures for Organic Electronics

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 15 2009
Jeffrey M. Mativetsky
Abstract Molecular dyads based on polycyclic electron donor (D) and electron acceptor (A) units represent suitable building blocks for forming highly ordered, solution-processable, nanosegregated D-A domains for potential use in (opto)electronic applications. A new dyad, based on alkyl substituted hexa- peri -hexabenzocoronene (HBC) and perylene monoimide (PMI) separated by an ethinylene linker, is shown to have a high tendency to self-assemble into ordered supramolecular arrangements at multiple length scales: macroscopic extruded filaments display long-range crystalline order, nanofiber networks are produced by simple spin-coating, and monolayers with a lamellar packing are formed by physisorption at the solution-HOPG interface. Moreover, highly uniform mesoscopic ribbons bearing atomically flat facets and steps with single-molecule heights self-assemble upon solvent-vapor annealing. Electrical measurements of HBC-PMI films and mesoscopic ribbons in a transistor configuration exhibit ambipolar transport with well balanced p- and n-type mobilities. Owing to the increased level of order at the supramolecular level, devices based on ribbons show mobility increases of more than one order of magnitude. [source]


Charge Transport Physics of Conjugated Polymer Field-Effect Transistors

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 34 2010
Henning Sirringhaus
Abstract Field-effect transistors based on conjugated polymers are being developed for large-area electronic applications on flexible substrates, but they also provide a very useful tool to probe the charge transport physics of these complex materials. In this review we discuss recent progress in polymer semiconductor materials, which have brought the performance and mobility of polymer devices to levels comparable to that of small-molecule organic semiconductors. These new materials have also enabled deeper insight into the charge transport physics of high-mobility polymer semiconductors gained from experiments with high charge carrier concentration and better molecular-scale understanding of the electronic structure at the semiconductor/dielectric interface.

Strong Luminescent Iridium Complexes with C,N=N Structure in Ligands and Their Potential in Efficient and Thermally Stable Phosphorescent OLEDs,

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 3 2009
Bao Xiu Mi
Homoleptic iridium complexes with C,N=N type ligands, i.e., 1,4-bis (phenyl) phthalazine (BPPa) and 3,6-bis(phenyl)pyridazine (BPPya), are strong phosphorescents, easy to synthesize, and thermally stable, thus having great potential in optical electronic applications, as demonstrated in Ir(BPPa)3 -based OLED devices. A quantum chemistry study shows that C,N=;N type ligands can bond to Ir more strongly. [source]

Self-Assembly and Electronics of Dipolar Linear Acenes,

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 4 2005
Q. Miao
Linear acenes terminated with quinones demonstrate that electrostatic complementarity is a viable self-assembly motif for organic semiconductors. An organic field-effect transistor with co-facial, head-to-tail stacks with ,-surfaces 0.1,Å closer together than the aromatic planes of graphite is fabricated. The field-effect mobilities and ON/OFF current ratios are high enough to be useful in flexible electronic applications. [source]


Polymeric Toughening of Particle Filled Cyanate Ester Composites

MACROMOLECULAR MATERIALS & ENGINEERING, Issue 10 2005
Tim J. Wooster
Abstract Summary: The present study examines the effect of polymeric tougheners on the performance of silica filled cyanate ester composites. The polymeric tougheners used have been shown to enhance cyanate ester tougheners in binary toughener/matrix systems. Tougheners that were able to form a favourable phase-separated morphology resulted in the greatest increase in crack resistance. The addition of these tougheners resulted in minimal loss of strength, and a slight decrease in modulus. Importantly the viscosity of the compounded systems was low enough for them to be readily processable. Whilst conserving most secondary properties, toughener addition did result in a slight increase in composite hydrolytic degradation. This issue was linked to the additive/ additive compounding processes. Removal of this extra moisture should eliminate this concern, permitting the used of these composites in electronic applications.

Sharul Ashikin Kamaruddin
Abstract Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an emerging material in large area electronic applications such as thin-film solar cells and transistors. We report on the fabrication and characterization of ZnO nanostructures. ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized using sol,gel immerse technique on oxidized silicon substrates. Different precursor's concentrations ranging from 0.0001 to 0.01,M using zinc nitrate hexahydrate [Zn(NO3)2.6H2O] and hexamethylenetetramine [C6H12N4] has been employed in the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures. The surface morphologies were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In order to investigate the structural properties, the ZnO nanostructures were measured using X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The optical properties of the ZnO nanostructures were measured using photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer. [source]

PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (A) APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS SCIENCE, Issue 6 2006
N. Ferrer-Anglada
Abstract We performed two different types of composites using single wall carbon nanotubes: 1) transparent electrodes, using a thin network of carbon nanotubes as electrode on which we can grow a conducting polymer electrochemically on it, polyaniline or polypirrole, CNT,CP; the obtained thin films are both transparent (transmission coefficient T from 70% to 95%) and electrically conducting. The samples were observed by AFM, optical and Raman spectroscopy, room temperature electrical conductivity were performed. 2) CNT with a metal, copper in our case (CNT,Cu), as a material with high electrical and thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), to be used in electronic packaging. We observed the samples by AFM and SEM. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source]
