Contact Angle & Electrochemical Measurements Of Metallic Atmospheric Corrosion On Copper And Carbon Steel, Jacob J.M. Bunting, Jiju M. Joseph, Heng-Yong Nie, Samantha M. Gateman

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

Understanding atmospheric corrosion has been incredibly challenging due to the complex interplay between surface microstructures, environmental variables, and electrochemical processes. The methodology presented is being developed to apply to atmospheric corrosion models of metals and other advanced materials by observing the change in contact angle in situ as a function of corrosion parameters. Performed contact angle measurements on two industrially relevant metals (copper and carbon steel) over a 1 min to 30-day time span to track the change in wettability due to the formation of an air-formed oxide layer (aged) as a function of surface roughness.


Introduction Of Development And Application Technology Of Organic Additives For Acid Copper Electroplating, Hao-Bin Zou, Chao-Li Tan, Wei Xiong, Dao-Lin Xi, Bin-Yun Liu Jun 2022

Introduction Of Development And Application Technology Of Organic Additives For Acid Copper Electroplating, Hao-Bin Zou, Chao-Li Tan, Wei Xiong, Dao-Lin Xi, Bin-Yun Liu

Journal of Electrochemistry

Acid copper electroplating is one of the key technologies in buildup multilayer PCB (BUM-PCB) manufacture process and the most important technique to achieve electrical interconnection between any layer and high-density interconnection in a substrate. This article introduces the research focus of organic additives used in acid copper electroplating, and developing different kinds of micro-via filling copper electroplating technique applied in various scenarios, and some other technical problems from applications. First of all, according to the chronopotentiometric (CP) experiment results, the levelers with different polymeric molecular structures exhibited various responses of cupric deposition potential along with their increased concentrations, which is …


Analysis Of Forensically Relevant Evidence Using Electrochemistry, Spectroscopy, And Mass Spectrometry Tools, Colby Edward Ott Jan 2022

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

Forensic science relies on the use of multiple techniques in the assessment of evidence to increase the accuracy and reliability of the results. However, with the rapidly changing drug landscape due to the introduction of novel psychoactive substances, many traditional screening methods are no longer sensitive or selective enough for use. Additionally, many screening methods such as chemical color tests are prone to false positive and negative results and are subjective. Therefore, the goal of this dissertation was to develop a novel analytical scheme that can provide a more efficient, rapid, and sensitive method that will facilitate adoption in the …
