Polymeric materials, due to their excellent physicochemical properties and versatility found applicability in multiples areas, including biomaterials used in tissue regeneration, prosthetics (hip, artificial valves), medical devices, controlled drug delivery systems, etc. Medical devices and their applications are very important in modern medicine and the need to develop new materials with improved properties or to improve the existent materials is increasing every day. Numerous reasearches are activated in this domain in order to obtain materials/surfaces that does not have drawbacks such as structural failure, calcifications, infections or thrombosis. One of the most used material is poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) due to its unique properties, availability and low cost. The most common method used for obtaining tubular devices that meet the requirements of medical use is the surface modification of polymers without changing their physical and mechanical properties, in bulk. PVC is a hydrophobic polymer and therefore many research studies were conducted in order to increase the hydrophilicity of the surface by chemical modification in order to improve biocompatibility, to enhance wettability, reduce friction or to make lubricious or antimicrobial coatings. Surface modification of PVC can be achieved by several strategies, in only one step or, in some cases, in two or more steps by applying several techniques consecutively to obtain the desired modification / performances. The most common processes used for modifying the surface of PVC devices are: plasma treatment, corona discharge, chemical grafting, electric discharge, vapour deposition of metals, flame treatment, direct chemical modification (oxidation, hydrolysis, etc.) or even some physical modification of the roughness of the surface.

Traditional Processing

One step chip attach (OSCA) materials are dispensable polymeric materials for flip chip assembly, which are designed to flux metallic interconnections and subsequently turn into an underfill upon curing. OSCA materials enable a drastic simplification of the assembly process by combining the reflow (fluxing/soldering), defluxing and capillary underfilling steps used in traditional processing into a single step. One key challenge for the design of OSCA materials is timing the cure kinetics with fluxing activity and solder reflow during processing. A second key challenge is to factor a process-friendly rheological design into the formulation. The OSCA material rheology must allow for high filler loading levels, seamless integration with standard dispensing equipment, flow control during and after dispense (avoid keep out zones), flow during die placement (elimination of voids), after placement (fillet formation) and during reflow. The final key requirements for a functional device are defect-free interconnections combined with optimal thermo-mechanical and water resistant properties of the final underfill to guarantee the long-term reliability of the assembly in various environmental conditions. This paper presents the properties of materials designed by Kester for use in mass reflow processing (OSCA-R). The rheological design principles behind a seamless integration into customer-friendly processes will be presented In addition results illustrating the timing of cure kinetics with fluxing and soldering events during processing will be discussed. Preliminary device reliability results will also be presented for several types of test vehicles including; Si-Si and Si-FR4.

AbstractOur study describes a convenient one-step synthesis of ZnSe and ZnTe nanocrystals (NC) whose sizes and shapes are precisely tuned by varing the growth temperature or stabilizing surfactants. We utilized molecular precursors, bis(phenylselenolate or phenyltellurolato)zinc -N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), which effectively produce 0-dimensional sphere or 1-dimensional nanorods of ZnSe or ZnTe, respectively. Nanocrystals are highly monodispersed and luminescent; the emission wavelength varies over a wide range depending on the particle size. This study constitutes a nice demonstration of direct size and shape controlled synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals and this method can be extended to the synthesis of nanocrystals of other materials.

One Step

High surface area nanoporous powders of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have been prepared from molecular precursors to be used for hydrogen sequestration. The more promising samples were obtained using a precursor derived from trichloroborazine (TCB). The precursor was first reacted with ammonia at room temperature leading to the molecular complex Cl3B3N3H3, 6 NH3 which was heated up to 650 °C under ammonia and then up to 1000 °C under nitrogen, giving rise to a high reactive h-BN powder. This crude powder was stabilised by an annealing up to 1800 °C under nitrogen atmosphere leading to a very stable compound exhibiting a specific area of more than 300 m2·g-1 and presenting a very specific nanometric spherical texture. Some samples were doped with platinum (about 1 wt.%) to enhance the activity of pure h-BN using an original one step synthesis route starting from a mixture of BN and Pt precursors. Attempts to sequester hydrogen into these powders were made successfully at -196 °C under 10 MPa, but the stored amount was only about 0.3 wt.% and the platinum added BN powders did not lead to an enhancement of the storage capacity.

Considering the high interests and concerns in regards to quantum dots (QDs), their properties and applications, this paper presents highly photoluminescent amino-functionalized carbon QDs which were prepared via a simple one-step method developed directly from pine needle. They were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, photoluminescence (PL), UV-Vis diffused reflectance spectra, transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscopy. These carbon QDs show strong and stable PL, which is dependent on excitation wavelength. The intense PL under longer excitation wavelength and excellent bioactivities suggest they can be used for biomedical applications due to its high photostability and biocompatibility.

Apple Peels

In this work, water-soluble and blue-emitting carbon nanodots (CDs) were synthesized from apple peels for the first time via one-step hydrothermal method. The synthetic route is facile, green, economical and viable. The as-prepared CDs were characterized thoroughly by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), fluorescence and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy in terms of their morphology, surface functional groups and optical properties. The results show that these CDs possessed ultrasmall size, good dispersivity, and high tolerance to pH, ionic strength and continuous UV irradiation. Significantly, the CDs had fast and reversible response towards temperature, and the accurate linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and temperature was used to design a novel nanothermometer in a broad temperature range from 5 to 65[Formula: see text]C facilely. In addition, the fluorescence intensity of CDs was observed to be quenched immediately by Cr(VI) ions based on the inner filter effect. A low-cost Cr(VI) ions sensor was proposed employing CDs as fluorescent probe, and it displayed a wide linear range from 0.5 to 200[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M with a detection limit of 0.73[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M. The practicability of the developed Cr(VI) sensor for real water sample assay was also validated with satisfactory recoveries.
