Structural and tribometric characterization of biomimetically inspired synthetic "insect adhesives"

Background: Based on previous chemical analyses of insect tarsal adhesives, we prepared 12 heterogeneous synthetic emulsions mimicking the polar/non-polar principle, analysed their microscopical structure and tested their adhesive, frictional, and rheological properties. Results: The prepared emulsions varied in their consistency from solid rubber-like, over soft elastic, to fluid (watery or oi...

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...
