Nanoscale Thermal Property Characterization of Automotive Polymer Coatings

Carbon nanotube thermal interfaces enhanced with sprayed on nanoscale polymer coatings.

Vertical carbon nanotube (CNT) forests bonded at room temperature with sprayed on nanoscale polymer coatings are found by measurement to produce thermal resistances that are on a par with those of conventional metallic solders. These results are achieved by reducing the high contact resistance at CNT tips, which has hindered the development of high performance thermal interface materials based ...

Preparation, Characterization and Abrasion Resistance Property of Melamine Formaldehyde / Montmorillonite Nanocomposite Coatings

This study investigates preparation of melamine formaldehyde / montmorillonite nanocomposite coatings and evaluates its abrasion resistance property as a new material for wood based panel products. The ultrasonicated MF resin/clay blends with different clay loadings were applied in the form of coatings to the saturated decorative paper to prepare thermoset prepregs. Morphology and structure of ...

Thermal Modeling and Characterization of Nanoscale Metallic Interconnects

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee members Drs. I couldn't have finished my work without the help of my lab members, in par-thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Georgia Tech with other lab members. I would like to thank my parents and sister who made so many sacrifices to help me achieve my goals. Without their support I could not dream to reach this juncture in my life. I would also ...

Control of melting using nanoscale coatings

This article summarizes previous work using density-functional simulations to investigate the effects of nanoscale surface coatings on the dynamics of semiconductor surfaces near their melting points. We demonstrate that a coating of GaAs only a single monolayer thick causes a dramatic reduction in the diffusive motion of the surface atoms of a Ge(110) crystal, and causes superheating of the bu...
