Clinching for sheet materials

Latest developments in the clinching of sheet materials are reviewed in this article. Important issues are discussed, such as tool design, process parameters and joinability of some new lightweight sheet materials. Hybrid and modified clinching processes are introduced to a general reader. Several unaddressed issues in the clinching of sheet materials are identified.

12 Materials for Spin Electronics

Materials which are currently used in spin electronic devices, and materials which may be useful in future are discussed. These include ironcobaltand nickel-based alloys for spin polarization and analysis, metallic and insulating antiferromagnets for exchange bias and oxides for tunnel barriers. The 3d alloys also serve as detection or sensor layers. Permanent magnet materials play a role in bi...

Pyrene-based materials for organic electronics.

Materials for bioresorbable radio frequency electronics.

Materials, device designs and manufacturing approaches are presented for classes of RF electronic components that are capable of complete dissolution in water or biofluids. All individual passive/active components as well as system-level examples such as wireless RF energy harvesting circuits exploit active materials that are biocompatible. The results provide diverse building blocks for physic...
