Journal ArticleDOI
Electroless Plating of Copper on (100)-Oriented Single Crystal Silicon Substrates Modified by Plasma Graft Polymerization of 4-Vinylpyridine
TL;DR: In this article, a plasma graft-polymerized 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) on Ar plasma-pretreated Si(100) surfaces was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and atomic force microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of a bipyridine-containing electroluminescent polymer with well-defined conjugation length
TL;DR: In this article, an alternating conjugated rigid block containing bipyridine moiety and nonconjugated flexible alkyl chain was synthesized by the Wittig reaction, which showed high thermal stability and good solubility in common organic solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photodegradation of poly(o-(trimethylsilyl)-phenylacetylene) in solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that poly(TMSPA) in chlorinated solvents is irradiated with ultra-violet and short-wavelength visible light, the polymer degrades and the rate of degradation is highest in the more highly chlorinated solutions such as CHCl3 and CCl4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorination of epoxy surfaces by a physical method
H.S. Han,K.L. Tan,En-Tang Kang +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple physical method for the simultaneous surface fluorination during curing of epoxy resins was proposed and evaluated, and the modified epoxy surfaces were characterized using contact-angle measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal graft copolymerization-induced adhesion improvement of a FR-4®/PETG® laminate
TL;DR: In this article, the lamination of a glass fibre-reinforced and epoxy-based printed circuit board (PCB) substrate, FR-4, to an amorphous thermoplastic copolyester of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, PETG®, was studied.
