Methylated melamine grafted polyvinyl benzylchloride (mm-g-PvBCl) was prepared which was used as additive in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and graphene nanosheets (GNs) were used to reinforce the mechanical strength. Using casting method, antimicrobial nanocomposite films were prepared with the polymeric biocide loading lever of 1 wt%, 5 wt%, and 10 wt%. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) characterization revealed the 2.0 wt% of graphene content in resultant nanocomposites films. XRD showed that the resultant GNs 2 theta was changed from 16.6 degree to 23.3 degree. Using Japanese Industry Standard test methods, the antimicrobial efficiency for the loading lever of 1 wt%, 5 wt%, and 10 wt% was 92.0%, 95.8%, and 97.1%, respectively, against gram negative bacteriaE. coliand 92.3%, 99.6%, and 99.7%, respectively, against the gram positiveS. aureus. These results indicate the prepared nanocomposite films are the promising materials for the food and drink package applications.

Currently, there is no industry standard test method for measuring dielectric properties of circuit board materials at frequencies greater than ~10 GHz. Various material vendors and test laboratories apply different approaches to determine these properties. It is common for these different approaches to yield varying values of key properties such as permittivity and loss tangent. The D-24C Task Group of IPC has developed this round-robin program to assess these various methods from the “bottom up” to determine if standardized methods can be agreed upon to provide the industry with more accurate and valid characteristics of dielectrics used in high-frequency and high-speed applications.

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) with low dielectric loss is suitable for use on microwave and millimeter wave circuits. Thick film gold or silver conductors are used as metallization on LTCC substrates. Gold prices are increasing at a rapid rate, so efforts were made to lower the dependency on gold by substituting silver with Ni/Au surface finishes as the top conductor. The external thick film silver conductors were plated using a standard Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) process. The Ni/Au surface finishes provides substantial improvement to fretting corrosion, environmental protection, contact resistance, wire bond strengths, solder ability and solder joint reliability. The reliability testing of DuPont™ GreenTape™ 9K7 LTCC with Ni/Au surface finishes is being conducted. The reliability test methods & conditions were chosen from well-established industry standard test protocols. This paper reports the reliability and high frequency testing results on the ENIG plated GreenTape™ 9K7 LTCC system.

Abstract Polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles and PANI/poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposite films were synthesized by the oxidative polymerization of aniline and ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS), as an oxidizing agent in aqueous medium. The PANI/PVA nanocomposite films were exposed to γ-irradiation after oxidative polymerization. Synthesized polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles and PANI/PVA nanocomposite films were characterized by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), X-ray diffraction, high resolution scanning electron microscopy, (HRSEM) high resolution transmission electron microscopy, (HRTEM) and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Energy band gap of PANI nanofibers was determined from Tauc’s plots which equal 4.2 eV. Scanning electron microscopy images show that chemically synthesized of polyaniline has nanofibers structure and irradiated PANI/PVA nanocomposite have a mixture of nanorod and nanosphere structures. The transmission electron microscopy show that chemically synthesized of polyaniline has average length in the range 34 ± 10 nm with less wide distribution, where as the irradiated PANI/PVA nanocomposite has coreshell structure.
