Adhesion of thin films

1986-12
Özenbas, M.
Tan, C.
The periodic cracking technique for determining the work of adhesion of thin metallic films was applied to two different substrate systems which were metallic substrates (Al, Cu and steel sheet) and a polymeric substrate (ABS, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). The original model assumes elastic behaviour of the composite and is insufficient for such an application since the substrates exhibit plastic deformation before failure takes place. The model, however, is quite sufficient for obtaining relative magnitudes of the work of adhesion values. The films were vacuum deposited at <10-5 Torr onto the substrates. The adhesion increased with increasing substrate temperature and cleanliness of the substrate surfaces. The adhesion values were higher on the electropolished surfaces in comparison to the rough ones. To support the results obtained from the periodic cracking technique, microhardness measurements and tape tests were also performed on the same specimens.

Kinetic investigation of chemical vapor deposition of B4C on tungsten substrate
Karaman, Mustafa; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur; Ozbelge, H. Onder (2006-12-01)
Production of beta-rhombohedral boron carbide (B4C) on a tungsten substrate by the chemical vapor deposition from a BCl3-H-2-CH4 gas mixture was achieved. An impinging-jet reactor was used to minimize the mass-transfer limitations on the reaction kinetics, which made a detailed kinetic investigation possible. Results of the XRD and XPS analyses showed that the solid product formed on the substrate is a rhombohedral B4C phase. Both dichloroborane and boron carbide formation rates were found to increase with ...
Thermal degradation of polythiophene-natural rubber and polythiophene-synthetic rubber conducting polymer composites
Hacaloğlu, Jale; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil (1997-01-01)
Thermal degradation of conducting polymer composites of polythiophene and rubbers was studied by direct and indirect pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The samples were prepared by electrooxidation of polythiophene using natural rubber or synthetic rubber as the insulating matrix. Presence of decomposition products which were not observed during pyrolysis of pure polythiophene and rubbers, and disappearance of rubber-based pyrolysis mass peaks, together with changes in thermal stability and behaviour, ...
Ionic conductivity of microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 and ion-exchanged Mn+-ETS-10 (where, Mn+ = Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+) thin films prepared by secondary growth method
Galioglu, Sezin; Çam, İbrahim; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2017-09-15)
Impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the long-range ionic conductivity of the microporous, titanosilicate (Na,K)-ETS-10 and ion-exchanged Mn+-ETS-10 (where, Mn+ = Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+) thin films prepared by secondary growth method. To figure out the effect of grain boundary on ionic conduction, as-synthesized (Na,K)-ETS-10 films possessing different thicknesses of columnar grain structure (i.e., films prepared via 4h-, 6h-, 8h-, and 10h-growth) were tested. The conductivities of the films w...
Surface Physical Properties of Ion Beam Sputtered Copper Thin Films on Poly Tetrafluoroethylene
Atta, A.; Abdeltwab, E.; Bek, Alpan (2021-06-01)
In this study thin copper (Cu) films are deposited on poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) substrate using ion beam sputtering technique. The films are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM) techniques. The Raman spectrum shows some decrease in the intensities of Raman bands for Cu/PTFE film than pristine PTFE. UV-VIS transmittance spectra display that the optical transmission reduces from similar to 75% for pristine PTFE to similar to 0.20% after 60 min of ...
Controlled assemble and microfabrication of zeolite particles on SiO2 substrates for potential biosensor applications
Öztürk, Semra; Turan, Raşit; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2008-12-04)
Zeolite nanoparticles were organized into functional entities on SiO2 substrates and microfabrication technique was tested to form patterns of zeolite nanoparticles on SiO2 using the electron beam lithography (EBL). The effect of different techniques for efficient zeolite assembly on the SiO2 substrates was investigated. For this purpose, three different assembly techniques were tested. The first two methods are spin-coating (SC) and ultrasound aided strong agitation (US) methods, which were tested using ba...
