Abstract:
Electrically-conducting polymers (CPs) were first developed as a revolutionary class of organic compounds that possess optical and electrical properties comparable to that of metals as well as inorganic semiconductors and display the commendable properties correlated with traditional polymers, like the ease of manufacture along with resilience in processing. Polymer nanocomposites are designed and manufactured to ensure excellent promising properties for anti-static (electrically conducting), anti-corrosion, actuators, sensors, shape memory alloys, biomedical, flexible electronics, solar cells, fuel cells, supercapacitors, LEDs, and adhesive applications with desired-appealing and cost-effective, functional surface coatings. The distinctive properties of nanocomposite materials involve significantly improved mechanical characteristics, barrier-properties, weight-reduction, and increased, long-lasting performance in terms of heat, wear, and scratch-resistant. Constraint in availability of power due to continuous depletion in the reservoirs of fossil fuels has affected the performance and functioning of electronic and energy storage appliances. For such reasons, efforts to modify the performance of such appliances are under way through blending design engineering with organic electronics. Unlike conventional inorganic semiconductors, organic electronic materials are developed from conducting polymers (CPs), dyes and charge transfer complexes. However, the conductive polymers are perhaps more bio-compatible rather than conventional metals or semi-conductive materials. Such characteristics make it more fascinating for bio-engineering investigators to conduct research on polymers possessing antistatic properties for various applications. An extensive overview of different techniques of synthesis and the applications of polymer bio-nanocomposites in various fields of sensors, actuators, shape memory polymers, flexible electronics, optical limiting, electrical properties (batteries, solar cells, fuel cells, supercapacitors, LEDs), corrosion-protection and biomedical application are well-summarized from the findings all across the world in more than 150 references, exclusively from the past four years. This paper also presents recent advancements in composites of rare-earth oxides based on conducting polymer composites. Across a variety of biological and medical applications, the fact that numerous tissues were receptive to electric fields and stimuli made CPs more enticing.

Abstract:
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensors are of continuous development interest to researchers due to their sensitivity, short detection time, and reliability. Among the most used materials to achieve the sensitive film of SAW sensors are metal oxide semiconductors, which are highlighted by thermal and chemical stability, by the presence on their surface of free electrons and also by the possibility of being used in different morphologies. For different types of gases, certain metal oxide semiconductors are used, and ZnO is an important representative for this category of materials in the field of sensors. Having a great potential for the development of SAW sensors, the discussion related to the development of the sensitivity of metal oxide semiconductors, especially ZnO, by the synthesis method or by obtaining new materials, is suitable and necessary to have an overview of the latest results in this domain.

A relatively new approach to the design of photocatalytic and gas sensing materials is to use the shape-controlled nanocrystals with well-defined facets exposed to light or gas molecules. An abrupt increase in a number of papers on the synthesis and characterization of metal oxide semiconductors such as a TiO2, α-Fe2O3, Cu2O of low-dimensionality, applied to surface-controlled photocatalysis and gas sensing, has been recently observed. The aim of this paper is to review the work performed in this field of research. Here, the focus is on the mechanism and processes that affect the growth of nanocrystals, their morphological, electrical, and optical properties and finally their photocatalytic as well as gas sensing performance.

Abstract:
We introduce a robust low-budget Kelvin probe design that is optimized for the long-term acquisition of surface photovoltage (SPV) data, especially developed for highly resistive systems, which exhibit—in contrast to conventional semiconductors—very slow photoinduced charge relaxation processes in the range of hours and days. The device provides convenient optical access to the sample, as well as high mechanical and electrical stability due to off-resonance operation, showing a noise band as narrow as 1 mV. Furthermore, the acquisition of temperature-dependent SPV transients necessary for SPV-based deep-level transient spectroscopy becomes easily possible. The performance of the instrument is demonstrated by recording long-term SPV transients of the ultra-slowly relaxing model oxide strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ) over 20 h.

Abstract:

Molecular doping of organic semiconductors is becoming exceedingly important and has led to significant commercial developments in organic electronics, since it allows to overcome performance deficiencies and material limitations.

Increasing attention has recently been placed on using very low concentrations of dopants to eliminate the effect of gap states in organic semiconductors, in order to improve carrier mobility, adjust the energy level alignment at interfaces, and achieve overall better device performance. However, direct spectroscopic observations and quantitative analyses have not been done yet to study the impact of dopants on the density of states of organic semiconductors. Here, by using a combination of electron spectroscopy and carrier transport measurements, we investigate the distribution of valence and gap states in copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) upon the introduction of minute amounts of the p-dopant molybdenum tris[1,2-bis-(trifluoromethyl)ethane-1,2-dithiolene] (Mo(tfd)3). We observe the progressive filling (and deactivation) of the deepest tail states accompanied by a decrease of the hopping transport activation energy by charges introduced by the dopants, as well as a significant broadening of the CuPc density of states. Simulations relate this broadening to the electrostatic and structural disorder induced by the dopant in the CuPc matrix.

Another challenge in this field is n-type doping. Although a variety of stable molecular p-dopants have been developed and successfully deployed in devices, air-stable molecular n-dopants suitable for materials with low electron affinity, which are exceedingly important in a range of applications, are essentially non-existent. We demonstrate a major advance to n-dope very low electron affinity organic semiconductors using cleavable air-stable dimeric dopants. Although the reduction potentials of these host materials are beyond the thermodynamic reach of the dimer's effective reducing strength, photo-activation of the doped system can result in kinetically stable and efficient n-doping. High-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes are fabricated by using electron-transport layers doped in this manner. Our strategy thus enables a new paradigm for using air-stable molecular dopants to improve conductivity in organic semiconductors with very low electron affinity and provide ohmic contacts to these materials regardless of the electrode work function, giving more freedom to device design and optimization.

Abstract:
Ultrathin organized films of organic electronic materials, such as phthalocyanines (Pc), are promising for both fundamental and applied studies due to their special optical, electronic and photoconductive properties. The studies presented in this dissertation include fabrication of ultrathin molecular assemblies by molecular beam epitaxy and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques. The degree of molecular order, extent of charge transfer and the morphology within these films, assessed by methodologies, such as photoelectrochemistry, electrochemistry, surface analysis and optical spectroscopy were discussed and characterized. Under high vacuum condition, a wide range of ordered structures of some trivalent metal phthalocyanines, such as GaPc-Cl, InPc-Cl and AlPc-F, can be fabricated. These materials exhibit "layer-by-layer" growth on the single crystal SnS₂ surface when deposited by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The MBE technique allows for closer packing of these highly ordered phthalocyanines than in self-assembled (SA) or Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films, due to the lack of hydrocarbon side chains which are necessary for control of molecular architecture during SA or LB depositions. Several new solution processable substituted phthalocyanines are introduced, which due to their strong self-assembled tendency, may be suitable for the formation of well organized thin films by SA and LB techniques. It is found that the types of the substituents attached to the Pc rings play a significant role in determining both the aggregation tendency and the electrochemical properties of Pcs. Surface pressure-area isotherms of these substituted phthalocyanines show that there can be one or two stable phase transition regimes for monomolecular film at the air/water interface. On-trough spectroscopic studies of benzylalkoxy substituted phthalocyanines show that in the pressure-area region prior to the formation of the first stable phase extensive aggregation has occurred. Electrochemical studies of fully compressed films of substituted phthalocyanines on certain substrates show the presence of multiple electroactive domains, controlling the oxidation or reduction process of the Pc rings. Spectroelectrochemical studies of LB films of CuPcOC₂OBz suggest that the presence of both monomer and aggregates leads to the two separate oxidation processes.

Abstract:
Continuous scaling down of the dimensions of electronic devices has made present day computers more powerful. In the front end of line, the minimum lateral dimensions in a transistor have shrunk from 45 nm in 2007 to 22 nm currently, and the gate oxide film thickness is two to three monolayers. This reduction in dimensions makes surface preparation an increasingly important part of the device fabrication process. The atoms or molecules that terminate surfaces function as passivation layers, diffusion barriers, and nucleation layers. In the back end of line, metal layers are deposited to connect transistors. We demonstrate a reproducible process that deposits a monolayer of aminopropyltrimethoxysilane molecules less than one nanometer thick on a silicon dioxide surface. The monolayer contains a high density of amine groups that can be used to deposit Pd and Ni and subsequently Co and Cu to serve as the nucleation layer in an electroless metal deposition process. Because of the shrinking device dimensions, there is a need to find new transistor channel materials that have high electron mobilities along with narrow band gaps to reduce power consumption. Compound III--V channel materials are candidates to enable increased performance and reduced power consumption at the current scaled geometries. But many challenges remain for such high mobility materials to be realized in high volume manufacturing. For instance, low defect density (1E7 /cm²) III--V and Ge on Si is the most fundamental issue to overcome before high mobility materials become practical. Unlike Si, dry etching of III-V semiconductor surfaces is believed to be difficult and uncontrollable. Therefore, new wet etching chemistries are needed. Si has been known to passivate by etching in hydrofluoric acid, but similar treatments on III--Vs are known to temporarily hydrogen passivate the surfaces. However, any subsequent exposure to the ambient reoxidizes the surface, resulting in a chemically unstable and high defect density interface. This work compares old and new wet etching chemistries and investigates new methods of passivating the III--V semiconductors.

This thesis reports the investigation of Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) semiconductor material as an efficient photocatalyst for the sunlight harvesting as well as environmental cleanup. I have utilised different synthetic methodologies to obtain BiOBr and its derivatives, such as co-precipitation, ultrasonification, and photo-deposition; and have studied their structural and optical properties by X-ray diffraction and surface analysis techniques. I report the synthesis and characterisation of two new p-n heterojunction systems, AgBr-BiOBr and BiOBr-ZnFe2O4, and have performed initial studies on photocatalytic reaction and their catalytic decomposition mechanisms. I have also reported the surface modification method including the deposition of noble metal on BiOBr to investigate the role played by the noble metal and the interactions between semiconductor and metal using various characterisation measurements. Furthermore, a continuous series of BiOBr-BiOI solid solutions were synthesised, characterised and the photocatalytic degradation was performed on the as-obtained semiconductors, to study the band structure properties of the solid solutions.

Abstract:
Infectious diseases continue to kill millions of people every year and are a significant burden on the socio-economic development of developing countries. After many years of international policy aimed at containing diseases, it has recently become an explicit aim to move towards elimination of infectious diseases. However, if this is to occur, it will be necessary to have highly eficacious diagnostic tools to ensure infected individuals are identified and treated. However, the diagnosis of infectious diseases in the developed and developing world requires the full integration of complex assays in easy-to-use platforms with robust analytical performances at low cost. Many relevant bioanalytical technologies have been developed for use in laboratories and clinics, including the current gold standard for the diagnosis of tuberculosis and malaria. The miniaturization and integration of complex functions into lab-on-a-chip (LOC)technologies using microfluidics have only had limited success in translating diagnosis assays out of a centralized laboratory to point-of-care (POC) settings, because they still remain constrained due to chip interconnection and they are either not likely to go out of research laboratories or are not appropriate for low resource settings. In this thesis, a new microfluidic platform was developed that reduced the dependency of the diagnostic procedure on large laboratory instruments providing simplicity of use, enabling the patient sample to be processed and diagnosed on a low cost, disposable biochip. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, which are commonly used in mobile phone technologies, were adapted to provide controlled microfluidic functions by shaping the SAW using particular designs of electrodes and phononic structures. The control of lateral positioning of the SAW was demonstrated using a slanted finger interdigitated transducer (IDT) in a frequency tuneable manner allowing microfluidic functions such as mixing, moving and merging, sequentially performed using a single IDT both on the substrate and on a disposable chip. Alternatively, phononic bandgaps were designed to break the symmetry of the SAW in a tuneable manner and gradient index phononic crystals (GRIN-PC) lenses were designed to focus the SAW and successfully increased the amplitude of the wave by a factor 3 while the focal position could be tuned with the frequency. The potential of these techniques was demonstrated by controlling the amplitude and direction of water jet towers by the use of a phononic horn structure that allowed the enhancement of energy at defined positions and by propelling and directing a macrometer scale object in water using a slanted IDT. As proof of concepts of diagnostic devices for the developing world, an immunoassay for tuberculosis using only mobile phone technologies (SAW, light-emitting diode(LED) and complementary metaloxidesemiconductor (CMOS) camera) was demonstrated with a limit of detection of 1 pM, which is the limit required in an interferon-release assay. This limit of detection was only achievable because of the ability of SAW to increase the mixing and to reduce the non-specific binding. Furthermore, a method to enrich malaria infected cells, based on SAW and isopycnic gradient, was also demonstrated and showed an enrichment up to 100x in the equivalent of a fingerprick of blood in 3 seconds. This technique will allow to reduce the limit of detection of the current gold standard. This platform not only opens a clear road toward POC diagnostics due to its size, cost, versatility and ease in integration, but has also the potential to provide useful tools in laboratory settings for large scale, high throughput technologies.

Abstract:
Organic semiconductors (OSCs) present an electron mobility lower by several orders of magnitude than the hole mobility, giving rise to an electron-hole charge imbalance in organic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs). In this thesis project, I tried to achieve an efficient electron transport and injection properties in opto-electronic devices, using inorganic n-type metal oxides (MOs) instead of organic n-type materials and a polyethyleneimine ethoxylated (PEIE) thin layer as electron transport (ETLs) and injection layers (EILs), respectively. In the first part of this thesis, inverted OLEDs were fabricated in order to study the effect of the PEIE layer in-between ZnO and two different emissive layers (EMLs): poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) polymer (F8BT) and tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum small molecule (Alq3), based on a solution and thermal evaporation processes, respectively. Different concentrations (0.80 %, 0.40 %) of PEIE layers were used to further study electron injection capability in OLEDs. After a series of optimizations in the fabrication process, the opto-electrical characterization showed high-performance of devices. The inverted OLEDs reported a maximum luminance over 104 cd m-2 and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) around 1.11 %. The results were attributed to the additional PEIE layer which provided a good electron injection from MOs into EMLs. In the last part of the thesis, OLETs were fabricated and discussed by directly transferring the energy modification layer from OLEDs to OLETs. As metal oxide layer, ZnO:N was employed for OLETs since ZnO:N-based thin film transistors (TFTs) showed better performance than ZnO-based TFTs. Finally, due to their short life-time, OLETs were characterized electrically but not optically.

Full text
Abstract:
Ion sensing represents a grand research challenge. It finds a vast variety of applications in, e.g., gas sensing for domestic gases and ion detection in electrolytes for chemical-biological-medical monitoring. Semiconductor genome sequencing exemplifies a revolutionary application of the latter. For such sensing applications, the signal mostly spans in the low frequency regime. Therefore, low-frequency noise (LFN) present in the same frequency domain places a limit on the minimum detectable variation of the sensing signal and constitutes a major research and development objective of ion sensing devices. This thesis focuses on understanding LFN in ion sensing based on both experimental and theoretical studies. The thesis starts with demonstrating a novel device concept, i.e., ion-gated bipolar amplifier (IGBA), aiming at boosting the signal for mitigating the interference by external noise. An IGBA device consists of a modified ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFET) intimately integrated with a bipolar junction transistor as the internal current amplifier with an achieved internal amplification of 70. The efficacy of IGBA in suppressing the external interference is clearly demonstrated by comparing its noise performance to that of the ISFET counterpart. Among the various noise sources of an ISFET, the solid/liquid interfacial noise is poorly studied. A differential microelectrode cell is developed for characterizing this noise component by employing potentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. With the cell, the measured noise of the TiN/electrolyte interface is found to be of thermal nature. The interfacial noise is further found to be comparable or larger than that of the state-of-the-art MOSFETs. Therefore, its influence cannot be overlooked for design of future ion sensors. To understand the solid/liquid interfacial noise, an electrochemical impedance model is developed based on the dynamic site-binding reactions of surface hydrogen ions with surface OH groups. The model incorporates both thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the binding reactions. By considering the distributed nature of the reaction energy barriers, the model can interpret the interfacial impedance with a constant-phase-element behavior. Since the model directly correlates the interfacial noise to the properties of the sensing surface, the dependencies of noise on the reaction rate constants and binding site density are systematically investigated.

Abstract:
Polypyrrole, polythiophene, and PANI are inherently conducting polymers (ICPs), which show electrical properties just like metals and semiconductors. Aniline has low cost, so it makes PANI the least expensive and thermally stable from all ICPs. PANI is conducting in nature, but due to its less solubility and melting processability, it has not much attention for commercial purposes. PANI might be used for commercial purposes following by some additional improvements. It can be synthesized by electrochemical and chemical oxidative polymerization. PANI thin films can be used in the detection of gases as gas sensors, chemical and biological sensors, optical pH sensors, etc. These films can also be used in supercapacitors, electrochromic devices, solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, rechargeable batteries, electrochemical filter, protection of metal surface from corrosion, etc. PANI thin films can also be used in biological applications such as antimicrobial properties, and the various researchers across the globe have the most widely studied tissue engineering applications.

Abstract:
Although aluminum (Al) and its alloys have an advantage of high specific strength, their applicability is limited due to relatively low hardness and low wear, corrosion, and heat resistance. The surface modification route provides an interesting platform to achieve the required engineering properties. In this direction, depositing different coatings, broadly classified as metallic, ceramic, cermet, composite, and functional material, on Al alloys using various thermal spray techniques is discussed with more emphasis on the electrical, thermal, wear, corrosion, and fatigue properties. The choice of techniques, namely plasma, high-velocity oxy-fuel, detonation, and cold spray is discussed based on the coating material type and application requirements. This article presents a brief summary of numerous studies reported under the aforementioned material categories, highlighting the influence of feedstock chemistry, spray parameters on various properties of coatings, resulting functional performance along with the potential applications in diverse industrial segments.

Abstract:
Abstract Power semiconductors and modules are basic components of electrical infrastructure and are currently widely used in applications such as power conversion devices, industrial equipment, railways, and automobiles. Power modules are being developed with the aim of downsizing and increasing power output. With the larger current densities and higher operating temperatures associated with downsizing and increasing power output, degradation of power modules can occur as a result of electromigration. Electromigration is a phenomenon where atoms move due to the momentum transfer between conducting electrons and metal atoms. In addition, atoms are also moved by mechanical stress gradients and temperature gradients, so it is necessary to take into consideration the combined effects of electrical, thermal, and mechanical stress. In this report, we describe an electrical-thermal-mechanical coupled analysis of electromigration in a bonding wire of a power module. First, the analysis is validated under the condition that the displacement of the wire surface is fixed. The distributions of vacancy concentrations and hydrostatic stress are almost equal to those in previous studies. Next, we present the influences of current density, temperature, and the displacement constraint on electromigration in a wire with a simplified shape. The analysis results confirm that the plasticity and creep should be taken into consideration in a bonding wire. This also confirm that vacancy concentration increase more rapidly by changing the displacement of the wire surface from the fixed condition to the free condition. Finally, we present analysis results for a bonding wire with the actual shape found in power modules. In this wire, a local concentration peak appear in the electrode terminal. The analysis results reveal that electromigration may affect not only void formation but also other failure phenomena in the bonding wire of power modules.

Abstract:
Wide band gap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) provide the potential for significant advantages over traditional silicon alternatives including operation at high temperatures for extreme environments and applications, higher voltages reducing the number of devices required for high power applications, and higher switching frequencies to reduce the size of passive elements in the circuit and system. All of these attributes contribute to increased power density at the device and system levels, but the ability to exploit these properties requires complementary high temperature packaging techniques and materials to connect these semiconductors to the system around them. With increasing temperature, the balance of thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties for these packaging materials becomes critical to ensure low thermal impedance, high reliability, and minimal electrical losses. A primary requirement for module operation at high temperatures is a suitable high temperature attachment technology at both the device and module levels. This paper presents a transient liquid phase (TLP) attachment method implemented to provide lead-free bonding for a SiC half-bridge power module. This module was designed for continuous operation above 250 °C for use as a building block for multiple system level applications including hybrid electric vehicles, distributed energy resources, and multilevel converters. A silver-based TLP system was used to accommodate the device and substrate bond with a single TLP system compatible with the device metallurgy. A SiC power module was built using this system and electrically tested at a 250 °C continuous junction temperature. The TLP bonding process was demonstrated for multiple devices in parallel and large substrate bonding surfaces with traditional device and substrate metallization and no requirements for surface planarization or treatment. The results are presented in the paper.

Abstract:
The ultimate goal of cold start of hydrogen-powered polymer electrolyte fuel cell vehicles is to minimize the significant system thaw energy requirement and to achieve the short time period desired for freeze start (e.g. less than 30 seconds) in a subfreezing environment. As part of an effort to improve cold start capability for fuel cell vehicles, this work presents a new thaw-at-start strategy using electrical characteristics of vanadium oxide thin films as self-heating source at sub-zero temperature. Vanadium-based thin film coated on the surface of flat bipolar plates (e.g. carbon-based graphite and metallic bipolar plates) have been synthesized by a dip-coating method via aqueous sol-gel chemistry. Subsequently, the detailed in-/ex-situ analyses of the thin films have been carried out using diverse diagnostic techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the chemical composition, crystallinity, and microstructure. In addition, electrical switching characteristics of the thin films on bipolar plates was cautiously observed over a temperature range from −20°C to 80°C by means of 4-point probes installed in a thermo -hygrostat. By doing so, it has been possible to correctly infer the relationship between a tendency of the thermally-induced electrical switching hysteresis and bipolar plate materials. Also, comprehensive theoretical study on the basis of the experimental results have been performed to estimate the heat dissipation rate by Joule heating from the solid thin films on bipolar plates for the rapid cold-start operation of fuel cell vehicles.

Abstract:
Abstract Previous studies have shown that metallic coatings can be successfully cold sprayed onto several polymer substrates. The electrical performance of the cold-sprayed polymers, however, is not generally sufficient enough to utilize them as an electronic device. In this paper, an environment-friendly metallization technique has been proposed to fabricate conductive metal patterns onto polymer substrates combining cold spray deposition and electroless plating to address that challenge. Copper feedstock powder was cold sprayed onto the surface of the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) parts. The as-cold sprayed powders then served as the activating agent for selective electroless copper plating (ECP) to modify the surface of the polymers to be electrically conductive. A series of characterizations are conducted to investigate the morphology, analyze the surface chemistry, and evaluate the electrical performance and adhesion performance of the fabricated coatings. After 6 hours of ECP, the sheet resistance and resistivity of copper patterns on the ABS parts were measured as 2.854 mΩ/sq and 6.699 × 10−7 Ωm respectively. Moreover, simple electrical circuits were demonstrated for the metallized ABS parts through the described method. The results show that low-pressure cold spray (LPCS) and ECP processes could be combined to fabricate electrically conductive patterns on ABS polymer surfaces in an environmental-friendly way.

Abstract:
In this study are compared the technical merits and demerits of three bonding methods suitable for manufacturing 3D-ICs. Patterned metal thermo-compression bonding facilitates fine-pitch, high-density TSV stacking with lower electrical resistance and higher mechanical strength. Direct Cu-Cu bonding is preferred over transient liquid phase bonding with Sn or Sn alloys, but reliable Cu-Cu bonds result only from high process temperature and long process time. Both bonding temperature and post-bond annealing temperature have the most significant influence on Cu-Cu bond properties. The pre-bonding of silicon oxide bonds occurs at room temperature and thus does not induce any run-out errors in wafer alignment, resulting in higher post-bond alignment accuracy. Subsequent heating to high temperatures is necessary to achieve covalent bonds, but modifying the surface chemistry by plasma activation allows the formation of strong chemical bonds at significantly lower annealing temperatures (200–400°C). Adhesive bonding has such advantages as low bonding temperature and process time compared to metal bonding, the tolerance to wafer topography and surface conditions, and the ability to join any wafer materials. However, the material reflow imposes some challenges for maintaining the alignment accuracy and another major concern is the reliability of polymer adhesives during the post-bond processes.

Abstract:
Abstract Adhesives, medical devices, and many cleaning products depend on the wetting of liquids on solid surfaces. The liquid/solid interaction depends on chemistry, surface topology, and external energy input. For instance, surfactants are commonly used in cleaning solutions to improve their effectiveness, and electrical fields are frequently used to control the contact angle of liquid droplets. Low frequency vibration has been used to spread, move, and manipulate droplets using the mode shape oscillations of the droplet to displace the contact line. Ultrasonic vibration (above 20 kHz) can also cause a liquid droplet to wet or spread out on a solid surface under the right circumstances. We have previously demonstrated that ultrasonic vibration can be used to control the wetting/spreading of liquid droplets on smooth hydrophobic surfaces and that the response is relatively insensitive to excitation frequency or fluid properties [1]. This paper reports on the use of ultrasonic vibration to initiate spreading on surfaces with etched pillars. Ultrasonic vibration successfully initiated a transition from Cassie to Wenzel states in all geometries with no apparent need to tune excitation frequencies to the geometry. However, the magnitude of the acceleration required to initiate the transition decreased with increased pillar spacing. For small pillar spacing, some smooth spreading in the Cassie wetting mode was observed before transition.

Abstract:
Elemental fluorine, F2, is used in the nuclear fuel cycle for the isotopic separation of uranium-235 and 238, as well as for the purification of LiF-BeF2 in molten salt reactors. F2 is generated on an industrial scale by an electrochemical process using carbon electrodes in a KF-2HF molten salt. Carbon electrodes are used for industrial F2 generation due to its chemical stability, high conductivity, and relatively low cost. One of the main issues faced when using carbon electrodes in this chemical system is passivation through the formation of C-F compounds on the surface of the electrode. This results in a loss of anode wettability to the electrolyte and diminished charge transfer rate. The voltage needed for the fluorine evolution reaction increases which negatively impacts the safety of the system, increases the operating costs, and leads to faster degradation of the electrode. The degradation of electrical properties during passivation is progressive, eventually leading to electrode deactivation. The process of deactivation begins with a passivating C-F layer at potentials above the equilibrium potential (2.92 V). The layer is both non-wetting to the KF-2HF media and insulating. Deactivation begins with inhibited F2 bubble detachment, formation of a persistent gas layer, and finally deactivation as the electrode surface is completely covered by a thick, insulating C-F layer causing charge transfer to cease. Only a small current is able to flow, even at high potentials (up to 9 V), indicating F2 generation is completely inhibited. The purpose of this study is to manufacture and test model carbon electrodes and, to examine the non-wetting properties of a partially fluorinated surface. The electrodes will be prepared by mixing PTFE-particles with Vulcan carbon powder and then pressing to form pellets. These electrodes should have a reproducible surface for electrochemical performance studies that will lead to a better understanding of the surface chemistry. The research will develop novel electrodes with a goal to minimize the voltage required for F2 production. This will enhance the efficiency in the overall process and lower the manufacturing costs for F2. Carbon electrodes with different PTFE-content (20 w.% and 35 w.%) were synthesized. Electrochemical fluorination was then carried out at different potentials in the F2 generation region (4 to 8 V) in molten KF·2HF electrolyte at ∼90 °C. The electrochemical behaviour of the carbon-PTFE electrodes was examined and compared for both fluorine passivated and non-passivated graphite, amorphous carbon, and vitreous carbon electrodes. The growth of the electrical double-layer capacitance between the carbon electrodes and the KF·2HF molten salt was studied. The effects of composition of fluorinated and non-fluorinated carbon on electrode performance are presented.

Abstract:
Common examples for electrostatic discharges can be encountered in everyday life. When approaching a grounded surface after walking on insulating flooring material or while riding an escalator one might experience an electrostatic discharge first hand. These discharges generally do not pose a problem but when translated to various fields of engineering, such as in hydraulics, discharges can be the root cause for system failures. The pioneering fields of engineering for electrostatic charging in systems are petro-chemistry and electrical engineering. Researchers in both fields attempted to formulate models to calculate the electrostatic charging a priori. These models provide some indication regarding the magnitude of charge but are currently not suited for the application in hydraulic systems. This is due to the lack of necessary fluid and material parameters for the application of either one of the models. [1, 2] Previous work in the pioneering fields focused on fluids and materials typical for their respective applications. This paper seeks to take the first step to remedy this situation by developing and commissioning a test bench for investigating a wide variety of hydraulic fluid-material combinations. The fluids pending investigation range from a typical hydraulic fluid based on a group I base oil to a pure polyalphaolefine of group IV. Common materials for hydraulic systems are investigated with a small scale test bench as well, such as steel and brass common to hydraulic applications as well as plastics and rubbers. In order to conduct these investigations a Searle viscometer is presented in this paper. In a Searle viscometer the cylinder is rotating while the cup or pipe remains stationary. Initially this paper gives the necessity for a small scale test bench using experimental results of an existing large scale test rig. Subsequently, the design of a small scale test bench, the Searle viscometer, will be presented along with a method for measuring the charge density. The small scale test bench is based on the work of Washabaugh and is able to generate the necessary information required for using the chemical reaction-based model [3, 4]. The main feature of the chemical reaction based model is the consideration for different material and fluid influences, beyond the scope of viscosity and system geometry.
