Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study an electrolytic etching method to prepare fine lines on printed circuit board (PCB). And the influence of organics on the side corrosion protection of PCB fine lines during electrolytic etching is studied in detail. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the etching factor of PCB fine lines produced by new method and the traditional method was analyzed by the metallographic microscope. In addition, field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study the inhibition of undercut of the four organometallic corrosion inhibitors with 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole, benzotriazole, l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan in the electrolytic etching process. Findings The SEM results show that corrosion inhibitors can greatly inhibit undercut of PCB fine lines during electrolytic etching process. XPS results indicate that N and S atoms on corrosion inhibitors can form covalent bonds with copper during electrolytic etching process, which can be adsorbed on sidewall of PCB fine lines to form a dense protective film, thereby inhibiting undercut of PCB fine lines. Quantum chemical calculations show that four corrosion inhibitor molecules tend to be parallel to copper surface and adsorb on copper surface in an optimal form. COMSOL Multiphysics simulation revealed that there is a significant difference in the amount of corrosion inhibitor adsorbed on sidewall of the fine line and the etching area. Originality/value As a clean production technology, electrolytic etching method has a good development indicator for the production of high-quality fine lines in PCB industry in the future. And it is of great significance in saving resources and reducing environmental pollution.

In order to get the convex surface with phyllotactic pattern, the convex surface with phyllotactic pattern on end face of work-piece and its mask were designed based on the phyllotactic theory of biology, the surface was fabricated by electrolytic etching method, and also the fabricating processes were investigated .The results show that the convex surface with phyllotactic pattern can be fabricated by electrolytic etching method , and under the condition of room temperature (25°C), composite etching liquid which composed of NaCl,NaNO3,Na3PO4,etc., has better performance than the pure NaCl etching fluid, and in the current density of 15A/dm2, the etching rate was 3.292μm/min by composite etching liquid when steel 45 is etched. This technology can be used for fabricating the end grinding wheel with the phyllotactic pattern of abrasive clusters.

Endosomes are vesicular or tubular organelles that play important roles in transports of receptors and receptor―bound ligands during receptor-mediated endocytosis. The mechanisms of endocytic transports from clathrin-coated pits to lysosomes have been studied by many investigators. However, few studies were reported about the interactions between endosomes and cytoskeletons. In this study, Fc-receptor-mediated endocytosis in macrophages are investigated by quick-freezing and deep-etching (QF-DE) method combined with gold-labeled immune complex and “replica scraping method”.
