Geopolymer cements and geopolymer resins are newly advanced mineral binders that are used in order to reducethe carbon dioxide generation that accompanies cement production. The effect of additives on the compressive strength ofgeopolymerized class-F fly ash was investigated. Blast furnace slag, calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2), and silica fume powders wereadded to fly ash. A geopolymeric reaction was initiated by adding a solution of water glass and sodium hydroxide(NaOH) tothe powder mixtures. The compressive strength of pure fly ash cured at room temperature for 28 days was found to be as lowas 291kgf/cm−2, which was not a suitable value for use in engineering materials. On the contrary, addition of 20wt% and40wt% of blast furnace slag powders to fly ash increased the compressive strength to 458kgf/cm−2 and 750kgf/cm−2,respectively. 5wt% addition of Ca(OH)2 increased the compressive strength up to 640kgf/cm−2; further addition of Ca(OH)2further increased the compressive strength. When 2wt% of silica fume was added, the compressive strength increased to 577kgf/cm−2; the maximum strength was obtained at 6wt% addition of silica fume. It was confirmed that the addition of CaO andSiO2 to the fly ash powders was effective at increasing the compressive strength of geopolymerized fly ash.

The characteristics of ceramics were influenced by the additives and the heat treatment that controls the microcrack behavior at grain boundaries. The effect of additives on ceramics were investigated in terms of mechanical properties and thermal expansion at high temperature. The were synthesized at , and for 2h by reaction sintering. The formation of phase was increased by additives that enhanced the volume of the microcrack that can lead to low thermal expansion. The mechanical properties of the stabilized ceramics were increased remarkably at , and due to the oneset of mechanical healing of grain-bondary microcracks at a high temperature. The amount of microcrack was decreased at lower sintering temperature that causes the increase of mechanical properties at high temperature.

In an effort to overcome the problems which arise when fabricating high-aspect-ratio TSV(through silicon via), we performed experiments involving the void-free Cu filling of a TSV(10~20 μm in diameter with an aspect ratio of 5~7) by controlling the plating DC current density and the additive SPS concentration. Initially, the copper deposit growth mode in and around the trench and the TSV was estimated by the change in the plating DC current density. According to the variation of the plating current density, the deposition rate during Cu electroplating differed at the top and the bottom of the trench. Specifically, at a current density 2.5 mA/cm2, the deposition rate in the corner of the trench was lower than that at the top and on the bottom sides. From this result, we confirmed that a plating current density 2.5 mA/cm2 is very useful for void-free Cu filling of a TSV. In order to reduce the plating time, we attempted TSV Cu filling by controlling the accelerator SPS concentration at a plating current density of 2.5 mA/cm2. A TSV with a diameter 10 μm and an aspect ratio of 7 was filled completely with Cu plating material in 90 min at a current density 2.5 mA/cm2 with an addition of SPS at 50 mg/L. Finally, we found that TSV can be filled rapidly with plated Cu without voids by controlling the SPS concentration at the optimized plating current density.

Recently, the demand for the miniaturization of printed circuit boards has been increasing, as electronic devices have been sharply downsized. Conventional multi-layered PCBs are limited in terms their use with higher packaging densities. Therefore, a build-up process has been adopted as a new multi-layered PCB manufacturing process. In this process, via-holes are used to connect each conductive layer. After the connection of the interlayers created by electro copper plating, the via-holes are filled with a conductive paste. In this study, a desmear treatment, electroless plating and electroplating were carried out to investigate the optimum processing conditions for Cu via filling on a PCB. The desmear treatment involved swelling, etching, reduction, and an acid dip. A seed layer was formed on the via surface by electroless Cu plating. For Cu via filling, the electroplating of Cu from an acid sulfate bath containing typical additives such as PEG(polyethylene glycol), chloride ions, bis-(3-sodiumsulfopropyl disulfide) (SPS), and Janus Green B(JGB) was carried out. The desmear treatment clearly removes laser drilling residue and improves the surface roughness, which is necessary to ensure good adhesion of the Cu. A homogeneous and thick Cu seed layer was deposited on the samples after the desmear treatment. The 2,2'-Dipyridyl additive significantly improves the seed layer quality. SPS, PEG, and JGB additives are necessary to ensure defect-free bottom-up super filling.

As a part of abating formaldehyde emission of urea-formaldehyde resin, this study was conducted to investigate the rmalcure kinetics of both neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins using differential scanning calorimetry. Neat urea-formaldehyde resins with three different formaldehyde/urea mol ratios (1.4, 1.2 and 1.0) were modified by adding three different additives (sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite and acrylamide) at two different levels (1 and 3wt%). An isoconversional method at four different heating rates was employed to characterize thermal cure kinetics of these urea-formaldehyde resins to obtain activation energy () dependent on the degree of conversion (). The values of neat urea-formaldehyde resins (formaldehyde/urea = 1.4 and 1.2) consistently changed as the increased. Neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins of these two F/U mol ratios did show a decrease of the at the final stage of the conversion while the of neat urea-formaldehyde resin (formaldehyde/urea = 1.0) increased as the increased, indicating the presence of incomplete cure. However, the change of the values of all urea-formaldehyde resins was consistent to that of the Ea values. The isoconversional method indicated that thermal cure kinetics of neat and modified urea-formaldehyde resins showed a strong dependence on the resin viscosity as well as diffusion control reaction at the final stage of the conversion.

The relationship between the addition of metallic additives and the geometry of gas metal arc weld deposit were studied by using Φ1.6mm flux-cored wire designed for hypo-eutectic Fe-Cr-C-Si hardfacing. It was found that the addition of metallic additives, such as Mn, Ti, Al and Si, by less than 0.5wt.% of the overall wire weight affected the dilution of weld deposit by changing the metal transfer mode during welding. The lowest dilution for each additives could be obtained at the transition point between spray and short circuit modes. The bead width was considered to be affected by the increase of arc length due to the oxidizing effect and by the molten pool flow behavior due to the Marangoni effect. Among additives, Mn and Al are considered to be effective in increasing bead width by decreasing the sulfur level and by inducing Marangoni flow directly at the molten pool, respectively.

The electrochemistry characterization of metal is important in many industrial applications. In this study, we investigated the C-V diagrams related to the electrochemistry characterization of nickel. We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three electrode system. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350mV, continuously oxidized to 1650mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rate were 100, 150, 200 and 200mV/s. As a result, the C-V characterization of nickel using ethanolamine and ethylethanolamine inhibitor appeared irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. After adding ethanolamine compound additive, adsorption film constituted, and the passive phenomena happened. According to the results by cyclic voltammetry method, it was revealed that the effect of the electrochemistry characterization of nickel depends on ethanolamine structure interaction to adsorption complex.

In fabricating plasma display panels, the photolithographic process is used to form patterns of barrier ribs with high accuracy and high aspect ratio. It is important in the photolithographic process to control the refractive index of the photosensitive paste. The composition of this paste for photolithography is based on the B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3 glass system, including additives of alkali oxides and rare earth oxides. In this work, we investigated the density, structure and refractive index of glasses based on the B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3 system with the addition of Li2O, K2O, Na2O, CaO, SrO, and MgO. The refractive index of the glasses containing K2O, Na2O and CaO was similar to that of the [BO3] fraction while that of the SrO, MgO and Li2O containing glasses were not correlated with the coordination fraction. The coordination number of the boron atoms was measured by MAS NMR. The refractive index increased with a decrease of molar volume due to the increase in the number of non-bridging oxygen atoms and the polarizability. The lowest refractive index (1.485) in this study was that of the B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3-K2O glass system due to the larger ionic radius of K+. Based on our results, it has been determined that the refractive index of the B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3 system should be controlled by the addition of alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides for proper formation of the photosensitive paste.
