A study on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of aqueous solution of poly (vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) was carried out by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and optical microscopy respectively. IR ...

The present paper addresses the formation and evolution of microstructure and crystal structure of electroplated copper columns. Copper columns of different size have been plated on Au seed layer for ...

A key factor in achieving high electrical reliability in multilayer HDI PCBs is the integrity of the target pad - electroless Cu - electrolytic Cu interface (Cu/Cu/Cu-interface), especially in stacked ...

It is confirmed that a layer of vacuum-evaporated carbon on the surface of a preoriented ultrathin polymer film can lead to an oriented recrystallization of the polymer film. This has been attributed ...
