Applications in Electronics Industry

PPQs possess a stepladder structure that combines good thermal stability, electrical insulation, and chemical resistance with good processing characteristics (81). These properties allow unique applications in the aerospace and electronics industries (82,83). PPQ can be made conductive by the use of an electrochemical oxidation method (84). The conductivities of these films vary from 10-7 to 10-12 S/cm depending on the dopant anions, thus finding applications in electronics industry. Similarly, some thermally stable PQs with low dielectric constants have been produced for microelectronic applications (85). Thin films of PQs have been used in nonlinear optical applications (86,87). 

Later, these intrinsically conducting polymers were improved and a new generation of processahle, and air stable conducting (thermoplastic) polymers were introduced, and found immediate applications in electronics industry as electrodissipating packages , [18]. 

Another successful example is a commercialized product of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid-doped polyaniline (PANI-DBSA) in xylene solution/dispersion in combination with matrix such as polyurethane, polyester, and so on. Thanks to the counterion-induced processability of polyaniline, pale green color antistatic coating with surface resistivity of 10 -10 Q/D can be produced (Figure 10.9), which has shown great success in antistatic application in electronic industry, mainly due to its good transparency, low cost, and long-term stability. 

In the present set of experiments, with 0.75 mm wide ITO lines, the sudden increase in resistance and the well-defined, propagation controlled critical failure strain is obtained. In many applications in electronics industry significantly smaller details are present. For active matrix addressed displays, for instance, transistors and connection lines significantly smaller than 100 pm are applied. When the size of the cracks, initiated for instance around a defect, have a stable size, comparable to the size of the component, crack initiation-controlled mechanisms and not the propagation control may govern the resistance of the lines.

It is worth noting that ZnO occupies already an enviable place in the industrial market. Tens of thousands tons of ZnO powder are industrially produced each year which are used in the rubber industry as vulcanisation activator ( 36 %), in the industry of ceramics as a flux ( 26 %), in the chemical industry (desulphuration of gases, fabrication of stearates, phosphates, etc) ( 20 %), as trace elements in the animal food ( 12 %), in the paints ( 3 % 50 % in 1961 ). The last 3 % are used for different applications, in electronics (ferrites, varistors), ends of matches, pharmaceutic industry (fungicidal properties of ZnO for skin-problems, trace elements. ..etc.). 

In addition, potential application of materials containing carbon-sulfur bonds in electronic industries has recently provided an impetus for the synthesis of further binary carbon sulfides, leading to the discovery and characterization of C3 S7,... 

Plastics have become the material of choice in the modem world and their applications in the industrial field are continually increasing. Presently plastics are manufactured for various uses such as consumer packaging, wires, pipes, containers, bottles, appliances, electrical/electronic parts, compnters and automotive parts. Most post-consumer plastic products are discarded and end up as mixed plastic municipal waste. The disposal of this waste has become a major social concern. 

Specialty polymers achieve very high performance and find limited but critical use in aerospace composites, in electronic industries, as membranes for gas and liquid separations, as fire-retardant textile fabrics for firefighters and race-car drivers, and for biomedical applications (as sutures and surgical implants). The most important class of specialty plastics is polyimides. Other specialty polymers include polyetherimide, poly(amide-imide), polybismaleimides, ionic polymers, polyphosphazenes, poly(aryl ether ketones), polyarylates and related aromatic polyesters, and ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (Fig. 14.9). 

The spectacular success of the semiconductor industry is based on the production of materials selectively designed for specialized applications in electronic and optical devices. By carefully controlled doping of semiconductors with selected impurities—electron donors or electron acceptors—the conductivity and other properties can be modulated with great precision. Fig. 12.8 shows schematically how doped semiconductors work. In an intrinsic semiconductor (a), conducting electron-hole pairs can only by produced by thermal or photoexcitation across the band gap. In (b), addition of a small concentration of an electron donor creates an impurity band just below the conduction band. Electrons can then Jump across a much-reduced gap to the conduction band and act as negatively-charged current carriers. This produces a n-type semiconductor. In (c), an electron acceptor creates an empty impurity band just above the valence band. In this case electrons can jump from the valence band to leave positive holes. These can also conduct electricity, since electrons falling into positive holes create new holes, a sequence... 

Molecular design and rational synthesis of inorganic microporous crystalline materials are frontier subjects in the fields of zeolites science and molecular engineering. Zeolite synthesis is an active field of research because zeolites with uniform micropores are important in many industrial processes in catalysis, adsorption, and separation, and are finding new applications in electronics, magnetism, chemical sensors, and medicine, etc.12 91 Synthesis of such materials typically involves crystallization from a gel medium under hydrothermal/solvothermal conditions in the presence of organic amines as... 

Because of their metallic and alkaline properties, potassium and especially sodium are widely used in a variety of industrial processes both as metals and as compounds with various other elements. Lithium is rarely used, but does find application in lightweight alloys with magnesium. Rubidium and cesium are not commonly utilized industrially, except for some applications in electronics. Sodium and potassium are essential for life, sodium being the principal extracellular and potassium the major intracellular monovalent cations. The other alkali metals have no essential biological role, see ALSO Bunsen, Robert Cesium Davy, Humphry Francium Lithium Mendeleev, Dimitri Potassium Rubidium Sodium. 

Furthermore, the use of EMM will widen the range of materials application for electronic industries, MEMS, etc. The role of convective mass transport and current distribution in surface finish and shape evolution is very important. Effective EMM process can be achieved by optimal combination of the process parametric conditions. In order to achieve the effective and highly precise material machining of the order of microns, the predominant process variables of the EMM system will have to be optimally controlled.
