Effect of CNT Morphology and Alignment on the Interfacial and the Elastic Properties of Nanocomposites

Alian A.R., Meguid S.A., University of Toronto, CA

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are typically curved, agglomerated and aggregated as a result of van der Waal interactions and electrostatic forces. It has been proven experimentally that CNT morphology and alignment affect the mechanical, electrical, and [...]

Fabrication of controlled linear assemblies of graphite nanosheets in polysiloxane-based nanocomposite films and enhancement of thermal property

Cho H.-B., Yanahara S., Nakayama T., Suematsu H., Suzuki T., Jiang W., Tanaka S., Niihara K., Nagaoka University of Technology, JP

In the present research, we report successful control of orientation and relocation of GNs in polymer matrix using electric and magnetic fields inducing external torques. According to modulation of the external torque, GNs can establish [...]

Microstructure and Pile-up effect on Nanoindentation measurements of FCC and BCC Metals

Srivastava A.K., Mirshams R.A., University of North Texas, US

A study of effects of crystal orientation and pile-up on mechanical properties of Fe, Ni and Cu is made.

Angular Orientation-Specific Directed Self-assembly Enabling the Integration of Small Dies

Knuesel R.J., Bose S., Zheng W., Jacobs H.O., University of Minnesota, US

We report on recent progress in the directed self-assembly of discrete high performance semiconductor device components. Different from prior research, the goal is to enable the integration of ultra small dies (10-100 micrometer in size) [...]

A New Copper Electrodeposition Scheme to Reduce Void Defects after Chemical Mechanical Polishing

Lin J.Y., Wang Y.Y., Wan C.C., Wang Y.Y., National Tsing Hua University, TW

Deposition of highly (111) oriented conductive layer is required for achieving better electromigration resistance and lower resistivity. Moreover, the amount of void defects decreases as the (111)/(200) ratio increases in CMP process. Hence, we investigated [...]
