The continuing demand for yet smaller and lighter electronic devices requires micro packaging where shrinkage in the geometry of the substrates as well as decrease of the area of the die is needed. Higher device and circuitry integration of the silicon die, finer pitch of fully populated arrays interconnections are examples of how the industry is meeting these miniaturizations demand. Today tec...

Currently, bioactive compounds are required in the design and production of functional foods, with the aim of improving the health status of consumers all around the world. Various epidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated the salutary role of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 22:6 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:5 n-3) in preventing diseases and reducing mortality from cardiovasc...

Quantum dots (QDs) are promising luminescent materials for display application owing to their excellent optical properties and easy processing. However, it is still challenging achieve high efficiency stability QDs in practical LED because of surface sensitivity air, heat moisture. Here we summary the recent developments enhancement terms chemistry, thermal management light extraction devices. ...

Porous hollow glass microspheres have many uses, including encapsulation of active materials. In this paper a fast and facile method for fabricating porous hollow glass-microspheres was demonstrated by etching them using dilute hydrofluoric acid. Then, a highly reactive amine was infiltrated into the etched glass microspheres. Scanning electron microscopy was conducted for the hollow glass micr...

A new concept of designing and synthesizing highly dispersed ionic liquids was developed through physical confinement or encapsulation of them into silica gel matrix with sol-gel process. A series of silica gel confined ionic liquids were synthesized through this process and characterized by diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and FTRaman analysis, and abnormal ...
