The widespread use of no-clean solder flux technology compromises the corrosion reliability of electronics exposed to humid conditions, and can lead to degradation of the
device’s lifetime due to the presence of solder flux residues on the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) surface after the soldering process. In this work, the effect of hygrosco...
Here we show the performance of a cooling system consisting of one stream that morphs while embedded in a square plate heated uniformly. Several configurations are considered in order to establish the evolutionary direction in which the thermal performance of the cooling system is improving. First, serpentine shapes are considered. The total length...

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are an important class of materials with many applications such as low emissivity coatings, or transparent electrodes for photovoltaics and flat panel displays. Among the possible TCO materials, Al-doped ZnO (AZO) is studied due to its relatively low cost and abundance of the raw materials. Thin films of AZO are...
Conjugated polymers have been widely studied as flexible, versatile semiconductors in organic electronics. However, the material stability is one of the problems limiting their applications. Thus, understanding the degradation process of conjugated polymers is crucial. In this work, we monitored the chain scission of the model polymer MEH-PPV in so...
In this paper, we study flash light sintering of inkjet-printed silver nanoink and show its application in printed and flexible thin film transistors. Flash method, which uses pulsed light to sinter metal nanoparticles, is a very fast and low-temperature sintering method. Hence, it facilitates in quick fabrication of low cost, flexible electronic d...
Permalloy nanoparticles containing bacterial cellulose hydrogel obtained after reduction was compressed into a xerogel flexible sheet by hot pressing at 60 degrees C at different pressures. The permalloy nanoparticles with an ordered structure have a bimodal size distribution centered around 25 nm and 190 nm. The smaller nanoparticles are superpara...
