In response to legislation banning Pb from electronics, any component suppliers plan to implement tin-based lead-free surfaces finishes to replace current Sn-Pb...
A novel technique to quantitatively measure the complex modulus of ultra-thin polymer films (sub micron) is described. This technique employs a new mechanical...
We have measured the mechanical strength of composites made by pressing mixed powders of deformable aluminum (Al) and non-deformable silicon carbide (SiC) as a...
Cure monitoring of hydrosilation is needed to control the fabrication of medical devices from hydrosilation-curable silicones. The fluorescence spectrum of a...
