Silver reduces the oxygen evolution potential at the anode, which reduces the rate of corrosion and decreases lead contamination of the cathode. Lead—antimony—silver alloy anodes are used for the production of thin copper foil for use in electronics. Lead—silver (2 wt %), lead—silver (1 wt %)—tin (1 wt %), and lead—antimony (6 wt %)—silver (1—2 wt %) alloys ate used as anodes in cathodic protection of steel pipes and stmctures in fresh, brackish, or seawater. The lead dioxide layer is not only conductive, but also resists decomposition in chloride environments. Silver-free alloys rapidly become passivated and scale badly in seawater. Silver is also added to the positive grids of lead—acid batteries in small amounts (0.005—0.05 wt %) to reduce the rate of corrosion. 

The primary environmental concern for the coating plant is actually the residual material on the anode stmctures being returned for recoating. Therefore the anode user must enact effective cleaning procedures prior to shipment. For example, anodes in chlorine use must be cleaned of all traces of mercury and asbestos (qv). Anodes used in electrogalvanizing or in copper-foil production must similarly be cleaned to remove all traces of process materials. If cleaning at the user s plant is not done effectively, the anode may well be shipped back to the user for appropriate action before it is considered for recoating. 

In electrogalvanizing, copper foil, and other oxygen-evolving appHcations, the greatest environmental contribution has been the elimination of lead-contaminated waste streams through replacement of the lead anode. In addition, the dimensionally stable characteristic of the metal anode iatroduces greater consistency and simplification of the process, thus creating a measure of predictabiUty, and a resultant iacreased level of safety. 

Most priated circuit board (PCB) production uses the subtractive process (41). In the simplest version, a thin copper foil is laminated to a nonconductor, holes are fabricated, and the unwanted copper etched off. These siagle-sided boards do not require plating. Known as ptint-and-etch, this version is used for the most simple priated circuit boards. 

There has been a continual increase in size and complexity of PCBs with a concurrent reduction in conductor and hole dimensions. Conductors can be less than 250 p.m wide some boards have conductors less than 75 pm wide. Multilayer boards greater than 2.5 mm thick having hole sizes less than 250 pm are being produced. This trend may, however, eventually cause the demise of the subtractive process. It is difficult to etch such fine lines using 35-pm copper foils, though foils as thin as 5 pm are now available. It is also difficult to electroplate holes having high aspect ratio. These factors may shift production to the semiadditive or fully additive processes.

SemiadditiveMethod. The semiadditive method was developed to reduce copper waste. Thin 5.0 lm (4.5 mg/cm ) copper foil laminates are used, or the whole surface may be plated with a thin layer of electroless copper. Hole forming, catalysis, and electroless copper plating are done as for subtractive circuitry. A strippable reverse—resist coating is then appHed. Copper is electroplated to 35 p.m or more, followed by tin or tin—lead plating to serve as an etch resist. The resist is removed, and the whole board is etched. The original thin copper layer is quickly removed to leave the desired circuit. This method wastes less than 10% of the copper. 

Copper To 1500 Properties depend on other construction materials and form of copper used. Packing made of copper foil over asbestos core resists steam and alkalies to lOOO F. Packing of braided copper tinsel resists water, steam, and gases to 1500 F.

A polyethylene or copper foil loop 1 in. wide is placed between the squeeze bottle and the side of the beaker in such a position as to exclude the dry ice from the space and to provide a window to permit one to see that the liquid hydrogen fluoride fills the bottle to a premarked level. The frost on the beaker must be scraped oS to allow inspection through the window.

These authors produced TEM samples of Bi-doped, Sb-doped and Ag-doped copper foils, thinned to electron transparency using conventional preparation procedures. In all cases the presence of impurity segregation was confirmed using conventional X-ray energy-dispersive spectrometry. The EELS measurements were carried out with a STEM operating at 100 keV, with a nominal probe size of 1 nm (full width at half maximum) with a current of about 0.5 nA. The conditions required to optimize detection sensitivity for interface analysis require the highest current density and are not consistent with achieving the smallest probes.

One important conclusion from the works on the construction of the cell is that the material (SL-20) can be described as one having excellent process properties. By this, one should among others understand perfect adhesion to the copper foil and the ability to form smooth and uniform layers. The discharge capacities for the first ten cycles are presented in the Figure 3, together with the discharge profile for the first cycle. 

The slurry was pasted on a copper foil at slow motion (<2.54 cm/s) using an automatic draw down coater available from Paul N. Gardner Co. of Pompano Beach, FL, USA) and the electrode was dried for a day under vacuum at 120°C. After this drying step, the density of the coating was adjusted to 1.45-1.55 g/cc through calendaring operation.

Glass fibre reinforced polyester melamine-formaldehyde laminate with copper foil attached is used for printing circuits. 

The combination of low optical absorbance and high electrical conductivity has attracted a lot of interest for transparent conductor applications. When coupled with its flexibility, it is widely seen as a possible replacement for indium-doped tin oxide (ITO), which has a sheet resistance of 100 Q/cm at 90 % transparency. By growing graphene on copper foils, sheet resistances of 125 Q/cm at 97.4% transparency have been achieved [19]. This has been improved by combining four layers with doping of the graphene, giving resistance of 30 Q/cm at 90% transparency, all done on 30-inch roll-to-roll production scale.
