Electrically conductive adhesives were made using silver-coated copper powders (filler) and epoxy. Resistivity, microstructure and shear strength of prepared adhesives were studied using two-point resistance measurements, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and universal tensile tests, respectively. Effect of filler concentration (70-85 wt%), silver concentration (10-50 wt%), particles morphology (flake or spherical) and addition of graphite (2-15 wt%) were investigated on prepared adhesives properties. Results showed that by increasing the filler percentage from 70 to 85 wt%, the electrical resistivity decreases from 6.2 x 10(-3) to 3 x 10(-3) Omega.cm. Furthermore, the electrical resistivity of adhesives is proportional to the silver content of the filler particles. Regarding the morphological effect of filler particles, it was found that by replacing 40 wt% of the flake with spherical particles in the adhesive with a filler content of 75 wt%, the electrical resistivity of the adhesive reduces from 5.6 x 10(-3) to 4.5 x 10(-3) Omega.cm, while the electrical resistivity of the adhesive containing 50 wt% of the spherical particles reached to 1.1 x 10(-2) Omega.cm. Graphite addition to adhesive formula in concentrations less than 6 wt%, slightly lowered the resistivity of the adhesives. Increasing the graphite addition from 6 to 15 wt% enhanced the electrical resistivity from 2.8 x 10(-3) to 1.7 x 10(-2) Omega.cm. The shear strength of the adhesives is inversely proportional to the filler percentage in the adhesives.

Microstructural characterization and tensile properties of hot pressed Al-SiC composites prepared from pure Al and Cu powders Ögel, Bilgehan; Gürbüz, Rıza (2001-03-31) A conventional hot pressing method was used to produce Al-Cu-SiC particulate metal matrix composites. The matrix alloy was prepared from elemental powders of Al and 5 wt.% Cu. The composite comprises 13.3 or 27.2 vol.% SiCp with an average size of 10 mum. The powder mixtures were hot pressed uniaxially under nitrogen atmosphere. It is shown that Cu aids in the Formation of a liquid phase. Practically pore free structures are obtained after pressing at 600 degreesC, Elastic modulus, tensile strength and yiel...
Microstructure hierarchy - Mechanical property relationship for hypereutectic Al-Si alloy powders solidified far from equilibrium Kalay, Yunus Eren; Chumbley, L.s. (2006-12-01) Microstructural selection in aluminum silicon powder alloys can directly influence the consolidated materials' mechanical properties. However, due to processing and characterization difficulties, a complete understanding of powder microstructure as a function of undercooling and solidification velocity, and the role microstructure plays on mechanical properties, remains an elusive goal. In this study high pressure gas atomization processing was used to produce rapidly solidified hypereutectic Al-Si alloys. ...
Interference effects of hydride forming elements on bismuth determination using tungsten coil system as electrothermal vaporizer and electrothermal atomizer in atomic spectrometry / Mercan, Pınar; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2017) Tungsten coil (W-coil) has become an alternative tool for graphite tubes in atomic spectrometry for its high melting point, good electrical conductivity and low cost. Tungsten coil systems have been used in atomic spectrometry as both atomizers and vaporizers. Both approaches include advantages and disadvantages. In this work the behaviors of both approaches were investigated. Bismuth (Bi), one of the hydride forming elements, was selected as the analyte. The properties and performances of both techniques, ...
Functionalization of glass fiber woven fabrics by ITO coatings and characterization of their electromagnetic properties Özdil Darıcıoğlu, Merve; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-1-14) ITO sols were deposited on glass fiber woven fabrics by spray pyrolysis technique and electrical conductivity of these layers was controlled to incorporate electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing characteristics to glass fabrics. The surface functionalized fabrics were used as reinforcement in a hybrid type multilayer EM wave absorbing composite which is a combination of Jaumann and graded type absorbers effective in 8-12 GHz frequency range (X-band). The effects of the conductivity and the cascading order for ...
Development of hole transport transparent conductive electrodes for n-type crystalline silicon solar cells Akdemir, Ozan; Bek, Alpan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018) Conventional transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) used in crystal silicon (c-Si) solar cells are commonly made of indium tin oxide (ITO) which provides low sheet resistance and high transparency. However, due to indium scarcity, ITO layers increase the fabrication cost; thus, alternative TCEs, such as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), zinc oxide (ZnO), metal nanowires and Oxide/Metal/Oxide (OMO) multilayers, are being investigated. Conventional solar cells also make use of doped layers, to create the junc...
