There is a renewed interest from federal and state transportation agencies as well as the asphalt industry in developing successful utilization of recycled plastics in asphalt pavements. By incorporating a third material ...
The Effects of SnAgCu Solder Interconnect Package’s Parameters on Electromigration Failure Mechanisms
(2021-12-17)
The primary concern of this dissertation is the electromigration (EM) failure mechanism found in Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder alloys integrated in WCSP (wafer-level chip scale package) packaging structure and factors affecting ...
METAL NANODENDRITES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS AS 3D SURFACE ENHANCED SCATTERING (SERS) SUBSTRATES
(2021-05-26)
Ultrasensitive detection of chemicals and biological analytes has been a focus of a lot of studies in the recent years. In this search for the versatile detection technique, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has ...
SURFACE MODIFICATION OF TITANIUM BY ELECTROLYTIC PLASMA PROCESSING AND IN-VITRO STUDIES
(2021-08-02)
Electrolytic plasma processing (EPP) can be operated in two modes, namely plasma electrolytic saturation (PES) and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). In this study, the PES was used to create hydrophilic surface profiles ...
A 3D SERS DEVICE FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE DETECTION OF ORGANIC CHEMICALS IN LIQUID
(2021-05-26)
