Recent Advances in Nanostructured Biomimetic Dry Adhesives

The relatively large size of the gecko and its ability to climb a multitude of structures with ease has often been cited as the inspiration upon which the field of dry adhesives is based. Since 2010, there have been many advances in the field of dry adhesives with much of the new research focusing on developing nanoscale and hierarchical features in a concentrated effort to develop synthetic ge...

Recent Technical Trends in Conductive Adhesives

Three Bond has been supplying conductive adhesives for about 15 years. Most of these products take the form of paste containing silver powder. They are used for mounting quartz oscillators and semiconductors. Today, new technologies are developing very rapidly in the electric and electronic industries, creating faster and lighter products, especially in the field of information. Accordingly, el...

Conductive Adhesives

S ince the advent of through-hole printed wiring boards in the 1950s, surface-mount technology has advanced through chip capacitors and resistors to high-density multilayer hybrids and printed circuit boards. Throughout this 40-year span, solder paste has been the accepted technology for component attach.' The present trend toward fine-pitch resolution ( t0.020") and multilayer constructions of...
