ABSTRACTAs the critical feature size in microelectronic devices continues to decrease below 100 nm, new barrier materials of > 5 nm thickness are required. Recently we have shown that self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are attractive candidates that inhibit Cu diffusion into SiO2. For SAMs to be used as barriers in real applications, however, they must also promote adhesion at the Cu/dielectric interfaces. Here, we report preliminary quantitative measurements of interfacial adhesion energy and chemical binding energy of Cu/SiO2 interfaces treated with nitrogen-terminated SAMs. Amine-containing SAMs show a ~10% higher adhesion energy with Cu, while interfaces with Cu-pyridine bonds actually show degraded adhesion, when compared with that of the reference Cu/SiN interface. However, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements show that Cu-pyridine and Cu-amine interactions have a factor-of-four higher binding energy than that of Cu-N bonds at Cu/SiN interfaces. The lack of correlation between adhesion and chemical binding energies is most likely due to incomplete coverage of SAMs.

To improve the interfacial adhesion of glass fiber (GF)/epoxy composites, the GF surface was treated by dispersing aliphatic diamine-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Carboxyl MWCNTs were first modified by aliphatic diamine with different alkyl chain lengths and then deposited on the surface of GF. The effect of aliphatic diamine chain lengths on the MWCNTs’ dispersion and interfacial properties of resultant composites was investigated in detail. The results showed that uniform dispersion of MWCNTs and strong fiber/matrix interfacial adhesion could be achieved, based on the grafting of 1,8-octanediamine onto MWCNTs. Compared with the control sample, the interlaminar shear, flexural, and tensile strengths of the treated composites increased by 41%, 29%, and 30%, respectively; the interlaminar fracture toughness and storage modulus in the glass region were significantly enhanced; and the glass transition temperature increased by more than 8°C. This work demonstrates that the carbon nanotubes functionalized by appropriate chain lengths of amine modifier can improve the fiber/matrix interfacial interactions and thus enhance the strength, toughness, and stiffness of fiber-reinforced composites.

AbstractIn the current research, we observed numerous suggestions are promoting the use of bio-based epoxy resins, replacing the petroleum-based products like Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A type epoxy resin DGEBA. With the passage of time, the impending challenges include preparation of environmentally-friendly epoxy with minimum toxic side effect and improved properties. Therefore, we describe a very useful method for preparing new silicone-bridged dimethyl siloxane monomers in high quantity, derived from naturally occurring eugenol. By putting the methyl siloxane, computed with different chain lengths into their molecular backbone. Such epoxy monomers have different molecular structure with high purity. This dimethyl siloxane epoxy, with lower viscosity than commercial DGEBA epoxy, has superior thermal properties, which were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry DSC. Modification of CMS increases the hydrophilicity. Bio-based epoxy (self-prepared) resin improved adhesive properties, with the help of modified CMS. This study presents a very easy and effective chemical modification to enhance interfacial adhesion composites with superior properties.
