The diversity of the applicational scope of modern printed electronics relentlessly requires the improvement of operational properties simultaneously with reducing the overall dimensions of devices. One of the most effective ways to overcome this major obstacle is the reduction of functional layers thickness in respect to the size of the device. In the present article, we are discussing a simple way of practical implementation of miniaturization concept through the application of a well-known high-productive industrial method of tape casting for obtaining thin nanostructured ceramic layers based on BaTiO3 nanopowders for MLCC. Using of nanosized powders per se imply a new approach of developing suspensions with suitable rheology for tape casting. We demonstrate, that a length of polymer molecule defines the size of floccules and therefore influences the thickness and surface quality of tape casted films. A certain nanopowder/polymer ratio contributes to the formation of the tapes with the surface roughness comparable with the size of one nanoparticle (20-25 nm). Moreover, it was established that developed suspensions are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Lowering the temperature significantly affects the flow character of suspension and thus the thickness of casted tapes. Considering this fact, we propose an effective self-developed pre-cooling method of nanopowder suspension casting, which allows obtaining extremely thin and smooth tapes with a thickness of less than 1 µm and surface roughness of 20–25 nm by tape casting method.

Main Factors

This paper proposed a new approach to control the micro-quality of sapphire substrate, in order to grow GaN on substrate. The main factors that influence macro-quality are the method of slicing, grinding and polishing. Thread speed of slicing is less than 0.5m/s. Ductile mode grinding of substrate is achieved by #3000 diamond wheel and feed of 1μm/r. The suitable polishing conditions are that the SiO2 grain size is less than 10nm, the concentration SiO2 is 3％, pH value of polishing liquid is 10.5 and polishing stress is 190Pa. The undamaged substrates have been obtained steadily. The surface roughness RMS is less than 0.4 nm.

This paper presents the design of calendering machine and experimental results of calendering process. A particular pattern was printed on PET film by means of roll-to-roll gravure printing machine. The calendering process was applied to a set of samples and the effect was analyzed after measuring the surface roughness and the thickness of pattern. Although only mechanical pressure provided by a nip roll was applied during the calendering process, the experimental results indicate that the calendering process should be useful for enhancing the surface quality of roll-to-roll printed electronics products.

The contact belt of the gate assembly is the main part of high pressure fittings. The serviceability of the fittings assembly as whole depends on the air-tightness and quality of the mating surfaces. The technology of diamond burnishing allows to increase the interface of the nodes by red ucing the surface roughness of the metal-to-metal seal. The real experience for improving of the fittings contact belt due to the use of diamond burnishing of the nozzles seats and the conical surface of the rods.

AbstractIt is well known that the surface topography of a part can affect its mechanical performance, which is typical in additive manufacturing. In this context, we report about the surface modification of additive manufactured components made of Titanium 64 (Ti64) and Scalmalloy®, using a pulsed laser, with the aim of reducing their surface roughness. In our experiments, a nanosecond-pulsed infrared laser source with variable pulse durations between 8 and 200 ns was applied. The impact of varying a large number of parameters on the surface quality of the smoothed areas was investigated. The results demonstrated a reduction of surface roughness Sa by more than 80% for Titanium 64 and by 65% for Scalmalloy® samples. This allows to extend the applicability of additive manufactured components beyond the current state of the art and break new ground for the application in various industrial applications such as in aerospace.

Viable Treatment

This article reports on the journey of a child with an inoperable hypothalamic-origin pilocytic astrocytoma causing hydrocephalus, which was refractory to treatment with shunts, and required a new approach. With multidisciplinary support, excellent nursing care and parental education, the child's hydrocephalus was managed long term in the community with bilateral long-tunnelled external ventricular drains (LTEVDs). This article describes the patient's journey and highlights the treatment protocols that were created to achieve this feat. Despite the difficulties in initially setting up these protocols, they proved successful and thus the team managing the patient proposed that LTEVDs are a viable treatment option for children with hydrocephalus in the context of inoperable tumours to help maximise quality of life.

Clinching is an economical sheet joining technique that does not require any consumables. Besides, after its usage, the joints can be recycled without much difficulty, making clinching one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing processes and a topic of high research potential. In this work, the influence of surface roughness on the load-bearing capacity (strength) of joints made by the mechanical clinching method in cross-tensile and lap-shear configuration is explored. Additionally, a correlating mathematical model is established between the joint strength and its surface parameters, namely, friction coefficient and wrap angle, based on the belt friction phenomenon. This correlation also explains the generally observed higher strength in lap-shear configuration compared to cross-tensile in clinching joints. From the mathematical correlation, through friction by increasing the average surface roughness, it is possible to increase the strength of the joint. The quality of the thus produced joint is analyzed by cross-sectional examination and comparison with simulation results. Experimentally, it is shown that an increment of >50% in the joint strength is achieved in lap-shear configuration by modifying the surface roughness and increasing the friction coefficient at the joint interface. Further, the same surface modification does not significantly affect the strength in cross-tensile configuration.

Abstract This paper presents a new approach to discover the effect of depth water for underwater visible light communications (UVLC). The quality of the optical link was investigated with varying water depth under coastal water types. The performance of the UVLC with multiple input–multiple output (MIMO) techniques was examined in terms of bit error rate (BER) and data rate. The theoretical result explains that there is a good performance for UVLC system under coastal water.
