In order to conquer the limitation of conventional solders and adhesives used in electronics packaging, a novel self-organized joining process using conductive adhesive with low melting point alloy was proposed. As a basic characteristic of the adhesive paste, the differential scanning calorimetry analysis was carried out. Joint morphology, the formation of conduction path, and the self-organized characteristics were examined. Melting fillers were preserved their initial spherelike form for nonreductive adhesive, although enlargement of the alloy colony occurred in the case of the reductive polymer. The formation of a conduction path can be controlled significantly by varying the resin performance and the process parameters such as the joint height and the volume fraction of filler. The self-organized characteristic was observed on the copper line patterned glass-epoxy substrate. The matched pair of substrates could be interconnected with excellent self-organized joint.

Knowing the eutectic composition of the binary melting point phase diagrams of the diastereomeric salts formed during the given resolution, the achievable F (F = eeDia*Y) value can be calculated. The same value can also be calculated and predicted by knowing the eutectic compositions of the binary melting point phase diagrams of enantiomeric mixtures of the racemic compound or the resolving agent. An explanation was sought as to why and how the crystalline precipitated diastereomeric salt—formed in the solution between a racemic compound and the corresponding resolving agent—may be formed. According to our idea, the self-disproportionation of enantiomers (SDE) has a decisive role when the enantiomers form two nonequal ratios of conformers in solution. The self-organized enantiomers form supramolecular associations having M and P helicity, and double helices are formed. Between these double spirals, with the formation of new double spirals, a dynamic equilibrium is achieved and the salt crystallizes. During this process between acids and bases, chelate structures may also be formed. Acids appear to have a crucial impact on these structures. It is assumed that the behavior of each chiral molecule is determined by its own code. This code validates the combined effect of constituent atoms, bonds, spatial structure, charge distribution, flexibility and complementarity.

Rapid-melting growth of SiGe stripes on insulator without crystal-seed has been investigated. After rapid-thermal annealing (RTA) of amorphous SiGe stripes (~5 μm) at a temperature between melting-point and solidification-point, SiGe crystals with large lateral sizes (~20 μm) are formed. The Si concentrations in the grains show peaks at the center of the grains and gradually decrease toward the grain boundaries. These phenomena are explained based on the self-organized formation of Si-rich micro-crystals and subsequent Si-segregating lateral-growth during RTA.

AbstractAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) subjects can present temporary behaviors of acute agitation and aggressiveness, named problem behaviors. They have been shown to be consistent with the self-organized criticality (SOC), a model wherein occasionally occurring “catastrophic events” are necessary in order to maintain a self-organized “critical equilibrium.” The SOC can represent the psychopathology network structures and additionally suggests that they can be considered as self-organized systems.

Bioactive hydrogels based on the self-assembly of tripeptides have attracted great interest in recent years. In particular, the search is active for sequences that are able to mimic enzymes when they are self-organized in a nanostructured hydrogel, so as to provide a smart catalytic (bio)material whose activity can be switched on/off with assembly/disassembly. Within the diverse enzymes that have been targeted for mimicry, hydrolases find wide application in biomaterials, ranging from their use to convert prodrugs into active compounds to their ability to work in reverse and catalyze a plethora of reactions. We recently reported the minimalistic l-His–d-Phe–d-Phe for its ability to self-organize into thermoreversible and biocatalytic hydrogels for esterase mimicry. In this work, we analyze the effects of terminus modifications that mimic the inclusion of the tripeptide in a longer sequence. Therefore, three analogues, i.e., N-acetylated, C-amidated, or both, were synthesized, purified, characterized by several techniques, and probed for self-assembly, hydrogelation, and esterase-like biocatalysis. This work provides useful insights into how chemical modifications at the termini affect self-assembly into biocatalytic hydrogels, and these data may become useful for the future design of supramolecular catalysts for enhanced performance.

AbstractThe self-organized formation of single domain Au silicide nanowires is observed on Si(110). These nanowires are analysed using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) as well as photoemission spectroscopy (PES). Core-level PES is utilised to confirm the formation of Au silicide and establish its presence as the top most surface structure, i.e., the nanowires. The growth of the Au silicide nanowires and their dimensions are studied by STM. They form for Au coverages of about 1 monolayer and are characterized by widths of about 2 to 3 nm and heights below 1 nm while reaching lengths exceeding 500 nm when choosing appropriate annealing temperatures. Valence band PES and STS indicate a small but finite density of states at the Fermi level typical for compound metals.

Ion beam irradiation of solid surfaces may result in the self-organized formation of well-defined topographic nanopatterns. Depending on the irradiation conditions and the material properties, isotropic or anisotropic patterns of differently shaped features may be obtained. Most intriguingly, the periodicities of these patterns can be adjusted in the range between less than twenty and several hundred nanometers, which covers the dimensions of many cellular and extracellular features. However, even though ion beam nanopatterning has been studied for several decades and is nowadays widely employed in the fabrication of functional surfaces, it has found its way into the biomaterials field only recently. This review provides a brief overview of the basics of ion beam nanopatterning, emphasizes aspects of particular relevance for biomaterials applications, and summarizes a number of recent studies that investigated the effects of such nanopatterned surfaces on the adsorption of biomolecules and the response of adhering cells. Finally, promising future directions and potential translational challenges are identified.

The microstructural evolution in an Al - Cu - Mg - Ag alloy with trace Zr addition during homogenization treatment was characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). It was shown that the low-melting-point phase segregating toward grain boundaries is Al 2 Cu , with a melting point of 523.52°C. A two-step homogenization process was employed to optimize the microstructure of the as-cast alloy, during which the alloy was first homogenized at a lower temperature, then at a higher temperature. After homogenized at 420°C for 6 h, Al 3 Zr particles were finely formed in the matrix. After that, when the alloy was homogenized at an elevated temperature for a longer time, i.e., 515°C for 24 h, most of the precipates at the grain boundaries were removed. Furthermore, the dispersive Al 3 Zr precipitates were retained, without coarsening greatly in the final homogenization step. A kinetics model is employed to predict the optimal homogenization time at a given temperature theoretically, and it confirms the result in present study, which is 420°C/6h+515°C/24h.
