This paper presents a study for the effects of different types of solvents on dissolution of photo resist inside the parylene micro channels. Theoretical and experimental studies were carried out to model the dynamic behavior of the dissolution. In this account, dissolution rate expressions were derived by taking into account the reaction of resist with the solvent. Micro channels with a cross section of 15 mu m x 50 mu m were fabricated by encapsulating photo resist inside the parylene layers and using glass wafer as substrate. Experimental results indicated that photo resist dissolution in dipolar aprotic solvents was much faster than the other types of solvents. This finding can be used to select alternative chemicals for stripping encapsulated photo resist.

Effect of microvoids on anomalous moisture absorption of quartz/BMI composite laminates
Hurdelbrink, Keith R.; Grace, Landon R.; Güloğlu, Görkem Eğemen; Siddique, Zahed; Anderson, Jacob P.; Altan, M. Cengiz (2014-01-01)
Copyright © 2014 by ASME.The focus of this paper was to investigate the effects of microvoid content in quartz/BMI laminates on both short and long-term moisture absorption dynamics. The moisture absorption characteristics for the laminates were experimentally obtained by water immersion tests at 25°C of three-ply quartz/BMI samples that contain voids, ranging from 8.6% to 13.7% by volume. The void levels were obtained by conditioning the prepreg at different moisture levels for 48 hours in an environmental...
Effects of titanate coupling agents on low density polyethylene and polypropylene blends and composites
Yılmaz, Gökhun; Bayramlı, Erdal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of titanate coupling agents on low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) blends and composites in terms of their mechanical and morphological properties. PP and LDPE composites were produced separately in a Brabender internal mixer, and CaCO3 was used as inorganic filler with compositions of 20, 40 and 60 %. PP/LDPE blends were produced in a twin-screw extruder with ratios of 75/25, 50/50 and 25/75. Their composites were prepared with ad...
Effect of cleaning process on combustion characteristics of lignite
Ozbas, Kazim Esber; Hicyilmaz, Cahit; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bilgen, Sedat (2000-01-01)
In this research, the results of a study on the combustion characteristics of Soma lignite before and after cleaning are presented. Non-isothermal thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) experiments were carried out for four different size fractions. Experiments were performed from ambient to 900 degrees C in air atmosphere at 10 degrees C/min heating rate. TG/DTG curves revealed three reaction regions. The first region is due to the evaporation of moisture in the coal. The second region can be called the primary reactio...
Effects of reactor geometry on dissociating CO2 and electrode degradation in a MHCD plasma reactor
Taylan, Onur; Pinero, Daniel; Berberoğlu, Halil (2018-08-01)
This paper reports an experimental study on the effects of reactor geometry for dissociating carbon dioxide using a microhollow cathode discharge (MHCD) reactor, and the associated electrode degradation. A MHCD reactor consists of two hollow metal electrodes that are separated by dielectric material. The geometric reactor parameters studied were the dielectric material thickness and the diameter of the reactor hole. Dielectric thicknesses of 150, 300 and 450 mu m and discharge hole diameters of 200, 400 and...
Investigation on replication of microfluidic channels by hot embossing
Yıldırım, Ender; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir (2017-01-01)
In this study, effects of embossing temperature, time, and force on production of a microfluidic device were investigated. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrates were hot embossed by using a micromilled aluminum mold. The process parameters were altered to observe the variation of replication rate in width and depth as well as symmetry of the replicated microfluidic channels. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the experimental results indicated that embossing temperature was the most important process param...
