Potential Applications

Ultraviolet laser-irradiation can be used to induce an insulator-to-conductor phase transition on the surface of Kapton polyimide. Such structures have potential applications as resistors or conductors for VLSI applications as well as general utility electrodes. Although the percolative nature of the phase transformation has been well-established, there has been little definitive work on the mechanism or extent of transformation. In particular, there has been considerable debate about whether or not the transition is primarily photothermal in nature, as we propose, or photochemical. In this study, cross-sectional optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are utilized to characterize the nature of microstructural changes associated with the laser-induced pyrolysis of polyimide.Laser-modified polyimide samples initially 12 μm thick were prepared in cross-section by standard ultramicrotomy. Resulting contraction in parallel to the film surface has led to distortions in apparent magnification. The scale bars shown are calibrated for the direction normal to the film surface only.

Second Phases

Heat-resistant Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si aluminum alloys were prepared by spray forming technique. The phase transition of deposited alloys from room temperature to 500°C was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimeter. The organization and the second phases of the alloys were observed and studied by transmission electron microscopy. The research results show that No endothermic peak appears in the deposited alloys during heating process, there is no phase transition occur in the alloy during the heating process from room temperature to 500°C. The deposited alloys mainly include α-Al and α-Al12(Fe,V)3Si phase. Under the transmission electron microscopy, there are also a small amount of slug, fan-shaped, needle-like, block, strip second phases, these phases are Al12Fe3Si, Al8Fe2Si, θ-Al13Fe4, Al9FeSi3, Al6Fe.
