    Notes: Abstract A transient negative photoconductivity phenomenon observed in silicon doped with gold atoms by an appropriate diffusion condition has been investigated. The transient negative photoconductivity could be observed with a diode doped with gold atoms under intrinsic light-pulse illumination. In the recovery process of the transient negative photoconductivity to a steady-state dark level, two kind of time constants were observed, which may be related with the emission of electrons from gold level. A dependence of the magnitude of the peak value on the ambient temperature was observed; a qualitative explanation is given.

    Notes: Abstract In thermally stimulated processes the calculation of the transition probability of a trapped charge carrier into an excited state is based on an atomistic model involving multiphonon processes. The displacement of lattice particles from equilibrium positions gives rise to electron-lattice interaction. As a result the temperature dependence is found to be of non-Arrhenius type except in some limiting cases. The difference of the probabilities for non-radiative transitions, as calculated by the quantum mechanical and by semi-classical methods, is discussed. Thermoluminescence proves to be an example for a non-radiative transition controlled phenomenon and the calculated glow curve differs appreciably from one model to the other. As a result the glow curves calculated in the quantum mechanical concept exhibit shapes which are broadened and shifted to lower temperatures, as compared to that calculated in the semi-classical concept. In turn, the activation energy, as determined by the initial rise method or the method of heating rate variation, is found to be much smaller in the quantum mechanical case.

    Notes: Abstract A new possibility for using vacuum-evaporated CdS thin films in combination with a suitable organic polymer (e.g., polyethylene) in electrophotography is described. The advantages of a multi-layer type sample are discussed in terms of deep bulk trapping of the photogenerated free carriers, injected in the polymer. A formula is derived, which links the initial rate of surface potential decay with the trapping range in unit fieldμ 0τ. Using it and the data for the initial rates of surface potential decay of two samples (a double-layer and a multi-layer one), the trapping range for the vacuum-evaporated polyethylene films is determined.

    Notes: Abstract The noise current spectral density in submicrometer samples is computed using the Monte Carlo method. The normalized spectral density is found to decrease with sample length and increase with the field. The high-field noise is like shot noise and increases with current in agreement with experimental results.

    Notes: Abstract The instability of the electron-hole plasma produced by continuous photoexcitation in short semiconductor structures is investigated theoretically. The applied electric field is considerably disturbed by photogenerated charge carriers. At a sufficiently intensive photogeneration plasma instability occurs. The frequency of current oscillations due to the instability, as shown by numerical simulation for a GaAs structure, is in the range of 1011–1012s−1.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the Hall coefficients and of the resistivity of MBE-grown Si, doped with P, As, Sb, B, and Ga in the concentration range 1014 to 1020 cm−3, were carried out at 77 K and at 300 K. With the exception of Ga-doped Si, the measured mobilities were close to or higher than those of bulk materials at both temperatures. The Mott metal/non-metal transition has been observed in the present epitaxial materials and the measured values for the critical impurity concentration at which the transition occurs, agree with values reported by other workers for bulk silicon.

    Notes: Abstract The thermally induced electrical activation of boron implanted in silicon at fluences ≦1013 cm−2 was studied by the combination of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and pulsed capacitance voltage (PCV). After annealing at 900°C for 30 min boron is completely ionized and the contribution of electrically active defects to the electrical profile is negligible. For partly annealed samples (T〈900°C) the degree of electrical activation of boron decreases with increasing boron concentration due to the presence of residual defects. The experimental data can be described qualitatively by the first-order kinetics if the influence of residual crystal defects on the electrical activation is considered.

    Notes: Abstract The nonlinearI – V behaviour and threshold switching of the bulk Se-Te-Sn system have been experimentally studied at various temperatures. It is observed that the curves are linear for low voltages and become superlinear at higher voltages. After a certain voltageV th, the current through the material shoots to a very high value and the potential across the material drops to a low value. It is also found that there is a decrease in Vh with increase in percentage of tin and temperature. An attempt is made to explain the nonlinearI – V behaviour and threshold switching on the basis of a microcrystallite model. A study of Se-Te-Sn system reveals that our results are in concurrence with the theoretical predictions.

    Notes: Abstract A series of experimental studies has been made on the relationship between optical and structural properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) prepared under various conditions. It has been clarified by analysing the results that the shape of the energy spectrum near the band edge and the distribution of the valence-band tail states depend primarily on the structural disorder of the Si network in a-Si:H. On the other hand, the total content and the bonding mode of bonded hydrogen have little effects on these electronic properties of a-Si:H. It has also been found that the distribution of the valenceband tail states might be related to other unidentified factor(s) besides the structural disorder. The present results have been compared with those of the previous experimental and theoretical studies.

    Notes: Abstract We have made theoretical studies on the trapping and recombination of photogenerated carriers in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si∶H) p-i-n solar cells. We discuss in detail the following points: 1) The limitations of the assumptions in the previous analysis. It has been clarified that the single-level Shockley-Read-Hall model for carrier recombination and the treatment of trap occupation in terms of quasi-Fermi levels are inadequate for exact analysis. 2) The superlinear dependence of carrier recombination rate on the free-carrier density which can explain the enhancement of photo-induced changes ina-Si∶H under high intensity light. 3) The estimation of capture cross section of the tail states ina-Si∶H. We show that the charged and neutral tail states have rather small capture cross sections of less than 10−16 cm2 and of less than 10−19 cm2, respectively. 4) The effect of the recombination of photogenerated (PG) carriers at the p/i and the n/i interfaces. We estimate the recombination velocityS of PG carriers at these interfaces to be about 103 cm/s. It has been also clarified that the decrease inS is effective to improve the cell performance, especially the open circuit voltage.

    Notes: Abstract The Monte Carlo method has been applied to obtain the average electron velocity at different positions of a submicrometer GaAs channel in the presence of a position independent electric field. Velocity-distance curves are presented for channel lengths of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 μm and for lattice temperatures of 300 and 77 K. The curves show significant effects of collisions and boundary conditions.

    Notes: Abstract Atomic mixing of Fe/Al bilayered samples induced by an energetic xenon beam has been studied by RBS-TEM and sheet resistivity measurements. Mixing is detected at 2.5 × 1015 Xe/cm2 and then proceeds up to 2 × 1016 Xe/cm2. A blocking effect of the mixing for larger doses is observed. Homogeneous concentration is not obtained across the sample. Instead a pronounced graded composition is reached. Several explanations of the mixing process and the subsequent blocking effect are suggested: — sharp gradients in the nuclear energy deposition profile which decrease with dose — grain growth phenomena — precipitation of crystalline xenon acting as efficient annihilation sinks for vacancies.

    Notes: Abstract The resistivity increase of very thin metal films during gas adsorption is stronger than predicted by the commond −1 law. This effect is contributed to surface roughness. A quantitative theory is presented which leads to an additionald −3 term. The theory is checked using literature data obtained for the Ag/O2 system.

    Notes: Abstract Photopyroelectric spectroscopy (P2ES) of n-CdS single crystals was performed at an open circuit, and in conjunction with photocurrent spectroscopy (PCS) in the presence of an applied ac or dc transverse field. The results showed that P2ES is very sensitive to the presence of deliberately introduced subbandgap defect structures, with the P2E signal dominated by non-radiative de-excitation mechanisms at defect centers. The potential of this technique as a powerful electronic defect diagnostic tool, combined with the overall experimental simplicity, was demonstrated with mm-thick crystals used as received in an open-cell geometry.

    Notes: Abstract Non-uniform planar resistors are modelled by a small stochastic conductivity pattern superimposed on the constant mean conductivity. At first a theoretical analysis is presented giving the mean square deviation of the resistor current for a given applied voltage. The same problem is then simulated by Monte-Carlo experiments and a good agreement is observed.

    Notes: Abstract In addition to the realization of atomically abrupt interfaces in III–V semiconductors by molecular beam epitaxy, the confinement of donor and acceptor impurities to an atomic plane normal to the crystal growth direction, calledδ-doping, is important for the fabrication of artifically layered semiconductor structures. The implementation ofδ-function-like doping profiles by using Si donors and Be acceptors generates V-shaped potential wells in GaAs and AlxGa1−xAs with a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) electron (or hole) gas. In this review we define three areas of fundamental and device aspects associated withδ-doping. (i) The prototype structure ofδ-doping formed by a single atomic plane of Si donors in GaAs allows to study the 2D electron gas by magnetotransport and tunneling experiments, to study the metal-insulator transition, and to study central-cell and multivalley effects. In addition, non-alloyed ohmic contacts to GaAs and GaAs field-effect transistors (δ-FETs) with a buried 2D channel of high carrier density can be fabricated fromδ-doped material. (ii) GaAs sawtooth doping superlattices, consisting of a periodic sequence of alternating n- and p-typeδ-doping layers equally spaced by undoped regions, emit light of high intensity at wavelengths of 0.9 〈λ 〈1.2 [μm], which is attractive for application in photonic devices. The observed carrier transport normal to the layers due to tunneling indicates the feasibility of this superlattice as effective-mass filter. (iii) The confinement of donors (or acceptors) to an atomic (001) plane in selectively doped AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs heterostructures leads to very high mobilities, to high 2D carrier densities, and to a reduction of the undesired persistent photo-conductivity. Theseδ-doped heterostructures are thus important for application in transistors with improved current driving capabilities.

    Notes: Abstract The low-temperature fabrication of silicon nitride films by ArF excimer laser irradiation has been studied. Two fabrication methods are presented. One is photo-enhanced direct nitridation of a silicon surface with NH3 for very thin gate insulators, and the other is photo-enhanced deposition of silicon nitride films with Si2H6 and NH3 gases for stable passivation films. The ArF excimer laser irradiation dissociates the NH3 gas producing NH and NH2 radicals which proved effective in instigating the nitridation reaction. The quality of both films has been much improved and the growth temperature has been lowered by using laser irradiation. These photo-enhanced processes seem to be promising ULSI techniques because they do not depend on high temperatures and are free from possible reactor contamination.

    Notes: Abstract Semiconductor response to ultrafast electric pulses was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The possibilities for hot-electron drift velocity estimation from a pulsed electric conductivity measurement were analysed. An optoelectronic arrangement with time resolution of 20 ps was used to perform such measurements on then-InSb andn-InAs single crystals. Negative differential mobility (n.d.m.) was observed in both semiconductors at high electric fields.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with the optimization of growth conditions for a-Si1-x Ge x :H alloys. It is shown that H-dilution of source gases selectively improves the band transport of electrons without significantly affecting the recombination center density or the band transport of holes. It is further shown that the beneficial effects of H-dilution are most pronounced in alloys with comparable densities of Si and Ge.

    Notes: Abstract ac measurements (1 Hz–10 kHz) have been carried out on a Pb2CrO5 ceramic sample (with surface electrodes) at room temperature as a function of voltage and intensity of visible light illuminating the sample. Cole-Cole complex impedance plots show that the electrical behaviour of Pb2CrO5 is strongly modified when the sample is illuminated. The bulk conductance of the sample is found to increase with increasing light intensity indicating that this dielectric material becomes semiconducting due to the photogeneration of free charge carriers in the conduction band. The dielectric constant of the sample is enhanced by illumination probably due to light-dependent space charge effects in a manner where the dielectric's relaxation time (τ=RC=0.7 ms) remains constant with light intensity. On the other hand, both the bulk conductance and geometrical capacitance of the sample have been found to be almost independent of the applied voltage.

    Notes: Abstract Cadmium telluride crystals grown by the Travelling Heater Method (THM) technique have been implanted with hydrogen using protons from 2 keV to 3 MeV. Electrical measurements indicate drastic changes in the concentration of defects, especially in the 0.15–0.20 and 0.45–0.60 eV bands. However, the modification induced by hydrogen depends on the starting material, implantation and annealing conditions. Furthermore, resistivity and carrier lifetime are also strongly affected by this treatment.

    Notes: Abstract The electrical properties and the degradation behavior of hydrogenated amorphous silicon alloys (a-Si1−x A x : H, with A=C, Ge, B, P) in designs of pin, pip, nin, and MOS structures are investigated by measuring the dark and light I(V) characteristics and the spectral response as well as the space-charge-limited current (SCLC), the time of flight (TOF) of carriers and the field effect (FE). These investigations give an overview of our recent work combined with new results emphasizing the physics of the a-Si:H pin solar cells. We discuss the stabilizing influence on the degradation behavior achieved by profiling the i layers of the pin solar cells with P and B. Two kinds of pin solar cells, namely glass/SnO2/p(C)in/metal and glass/metal/pin/ITO, are investigated and an explanation of their different spectral response behavior is given. SCLC measurements lead to the conclusion that trapping is also involved in the degradation mechanism, as is recombination. TOF experiments on a-Si1−x Ge x : H pin diodes indicate that the incorporation of Ge widens the tail-state distribution below the conduction band. FE measurements showed densities of gap states of about 5×l016cm−3eV−1.

    Notes: Abstract An ac impedance method has been used to study the electrical properties of an illuminated HgI2 crystal as a function of temperature [10–350 K] and frequency [1–104 Hz]. The complex impedance plane plots enabled us to determine the bulk resistance of the crystal as a function of temperature. Activation energies of [0.08±0.005 eV] and [0.25 ±0.01eV] are then found; they are attributed to acceptor and donor trapping levels, respectively. At temperatures lower than 230 K, a weak temperature dependence of the bulk resistance is observed. This weak dependence is supposed to be due to photoconductivity.

    Notes: Abstract The dielectric properties of titanium-doped magnesium oxide (Ti/MgO) and nickel-doped magnesium oxide (Ni/MgO) single crystals have been measured in the range of temperature from 300 to 450 K at the microwave frequency of 9.31 GHz. For both crystals the dielectric properties are found similar. From the conductivity data, the activation energy in the measured temperature region has been estimated to be 0.15 eV. The values of the temperature dependence (ε′−1)−1(ε′+2)−1 (∂ε′/∂T) p have been calculated. The data confirms the Bosmann and Havinga postulate that, for materials in which the dielectric constant;ε′ is less than 20 the temperature dependence should be positive.

    Notes: Abstract H2S gas has been used during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of GaAs and Al x Ga1−x As as sulphur vector forn-type doping. Doping efficiencies are less than 10−3 at usual growth temperatures, and are limited by an incorporation competitive surface process, probably 2Ga+H2S→Ga2S+H2. In AlxGa1−x As forx≧0.2 the doping efficiency is further reduced by carrier freeze-out at deep levels. Measured thermal activation energies depend on growth conditions and remain relatively low even up to the direct-indirect bandgap crossover for substrate temperatures in the 585–645

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents an overview of the single-wafer optical processing techniques for integrated circuit fabrication with an emphasis on their applications to insulator growth. Rapid thermal growth of various thin homogeneous and heterogeneous dielectrics on silicon substrates including silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, nitrided oxides, and composition-tailored insulators will be described and some electronic device applications of the rapidly grown dielectrics will be examined. Multicycle rapid growth processes have been used for dielectric structural engineering and in-situ formation of thin layered insulators. The compositional depth profiles and the electrical characteristics of devices are controlled through the synthesis of an appropriate sequence of the wafer temperature-vs-time profiles and process gas cycles. The ongoing developments and future prospects of single-wafer rapid processing for advanced microelectronics manufacturing will also be discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Capacitance-voltage (CV) profiling measurements on delta-doped n-type GaAs reveal extremely narrow peaks with a full-width at half-maximum of 40 Å. Comparison of experimental with self-consistently calculated CV profiles demonstrates that Si impurities are localized on a length scale of a lattice constant in delta-doped GaAs. Diffusion and segregation are of minor importance. The basic theory of CV measurements on quantummechanical systems such as delta-doped semiconductors is developed and presented.

    Notes: Abstract We have grown by means of Molecular Beam Epitaxy ultrathin (1 to ∼ 10 ML) films of fcc Fe and Co on a Cu(001) surface, thus stabilizing this high temperature phase of bulk Fe and Co at room temperature. All films, including the single monolayers, are ferromagnetic. The Co films are magnetized in plane, independently on the thickness. Fe films thicker than 2 ML are magnetized along the film normal. Up to now, the statistical uncertainty is still too large to conclusively prove an enhancement of the magnetic moment for the thinnest Co films.

    Notes: Abstract Thermoelectric power (TP) and electrical conductivity (EC) measurements were performed for YEa2Cu3Ox at 1128 K under controlled oxygen partial pressure varying between 50 and 105 Pa. Three regimes are observed for the electrical properties. At low $$p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } (〈 1.6{\text{ }} \times {\text{ 10}}^{\text{2}} {\text{ }}{\text{Pa}})$$ both TP and EC remain constant with $$p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } $$ . In the medium range $$(1.6{\text{ }} \times {\text{ 10}}^{\text{2}}〈 p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} }〈 7.6{\text{ }} \times {\text{ 10}}^{\text{3}} {\text{ Pa)}}$$ sharp changes of both electrical parameters occur; TP changes sign from positive above 4×102 Pa to negative below this $$p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } $$ value. In the high $$p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } $$ region (〉7.6×103 Pa) TP vs log $$p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } $$ exhibits two slopes; 5.1 below 1.5×104 Pa and 8.4 above this $$p_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } $$ value. The slopes can be discussed in terms of the defect structure involving singly and doubly ionized oxygen vacancies below and above 7.6×103 Pa, respectively.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the electrical conductivity, thermelectric power and thermal conductivity of an AgTlTe2 semiconductor in the solid and liquid states were carried out in a wide range of temperatures. In the liquid state the data analyzed in terms of a model developed for the density of states and electrical transport in solid amorphous semiconductors. Positive thermoelectric power suggests a large predominance of holes in electrical transport.

    Notes: Abstract The interface properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H) on Si and GaAs substrates have been studied by in-situ photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. The a-C:H films have been deposited by direct ion beam deposition. Distinct differences in the interface formation have been observed during film depositon on the two substrates. The data clearly reveal a decomposition of the GaAs at the interface which can be related to the reduced adhesion of a-C: H on the compound semiconductor substrate.

    Notes: Abstract Recent investigations on transition-metal impurities in silicon emphasizing the effect of the combined diffusion of two transition metals are presented and briefly discussed. The electronic properties and basic thermal kinetics are analysed by DLTS. The conversion of a Pd-related multivalent defect atE c-0.35 eV andE c-0.57 eV to the Pd-related defect atE c −0.22 eV is observed, and a Pd-Fe complex level atE c −0.32 eV is identified. The annealing characteristics of the multivalent Rh levels atE c-0.33 eV andE c-0.57 eV are observed, and used to analyse the influence of prior Rh doping on the Au diffusion. A complex formed by the codiffusion of Au and Cu is observed atE v+0.32eV andE v+0.42 eV, and shown to exhibit bistable behavior as does a similarly produced Au-Ni complex observed atE v + 0.35 eV andE v+0.48 eV.

    Notes: Abstract Amorphous Si1−xCx: H thin films were prepared by the rf magnetron sputtering method using a composite target of silicon and graphite. The dependence of the optical, structural, electrical, and optoelectronic properties on the carbon contentx was investigated, by measuring the optical absorption spectra, ir spectra, dark conductivity, photoconductivity and ESCA spectra. The optical gap was found to be unchanged with increasingx below about 0.6, in spite of the increase in the amount of the SiC bond. This is considered to be due to the formation of the carbon clusters. It is found that the photosensitivity shows a maximum at aboutx = 0.2, and is about one order of magnitude larger than the film withx = 0. This is related to the decrease in the dark conductivity, which is ascribed both to the formation of the SiC bond and to the reorganization of the defect-rich structure of sputter-deposited amorphous Si by the addition of about 20% carbon. The photoconductive effect was gradually lost in the range ofx above 0.6. In this range, the optical gap increases rapidly owing to the rapid increase of the SiC bond.

    Notes: Abstract The impact ionization in p-type indium antimonide at 77 K was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The dc pulse measurements with the time resolution of 50 ps and the high-field Hall measurements produced clear evidence that the impact ionization inp-InSb is initiated by equilibrium holes. The calculated hole generation rate gives good agreement with the experimental results.

They are shown as being caused by electric field redistribution and negative differential mobility in high-field regions.

    Notes: Abstract We have reexamined the validity of quasi-static capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements when applied to hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) diodes. Displacement currents with the application of a linear ramp voltage to an a-Si:H Schottky diode exhibit a slow response with time constants ranging 0.1–1 s which cannot be measured completely by the conventional measurements. The measured capacitance and the effective density of gap states obtained from the measurement depend on the timing of current observation even when the small value of the order of 0.01 V/s is chosen for the ramp rate. We propose a possible means to realize the true quasi-staticC-V measurement of a-Si:H diodes.

    Notes: Abstract Large signal characterisation of double heterostructure DDR Impatt diode has been carried out in the millimeter-wave range considering the MITATT mode of operation. The structure of the device is p+-p2-p1-n1-n2-n+ where impact ionisation and tunneling takes place in the p1-n1 region. In this study we have considered two well-known heterostructures, e.g., InP/GaInAs/InP and InP/InGaAsP/InP and one nonconventional structure GaAs/InP/GaAs. The theoretical results of the performances of these devices as regards of output power, efficiency, and negative conductance revealed that the structures are quite promising as the source of power in the millimeter-wave range. The analysis may be used for other mm wave DDR heterostructure Impatts.

    Notes: Abstract The pre-exponential factor of the transition probability of a trapped charge carrier into an excited state is evaluated from two different approaches. The semi-classical treatment based on a thermodynamical concept involves the calculation of the vibrational entropy change from the partition sum. The quantum-mechanical treatment deals with non-radiative transitions due to electron-phonon coupling. The factor is found to be explicitely dependent on both the temperature and the lattice vibration frequencies represented by a single Einstein oscillator. In addition, the results from different concepts show similar behaviour. As a consequence the effect of lattice vibrations on the position as well as on the shape of glow peaks in thermally stimulated measurements are investigated on a simple phenomenological base. The analysis of some experimental results can be performed in accordance with the theoretical predictions.

The dipole contribution to the dielectric constant has been found at temperatures lower than 110 K while the space-charge contribution due to the increase of crystal defects is dominant at temperatures higher than 290K.

    Notes: Abstract The behaviour of Xe implanted at the Ni-Si interface and irradiated with Nd-laser pulses is studied in details and compared with Xe implantation into NiSi2 and into pure Si. Ion beam mixing followed by laser irradiation is able to form good quality epitaxial NiSi2 layer on Si. An inward segregation of Xe is observed with retention of Xe at a depth of 30 nm inside pure silicon. Implantation of Xe into NiSi2 or pure Si causes broadening and loss of Xe, as generally observed for implantation into pure materials. The different behaviour of Xe at the Si/NiSi2 interface must thus be ascribed to peculiar characteristics of the interface itself.

The threshold switching voltage was found to increase linearly with the thickness, moreoverV th increases exponentially with the temperature. The rapid transition between the highly resistive and conductive states was attributed to an electrothermal origin from Joule's heating of a current channel.

    Notes: Abstract Films of a-Si: H have been deposited by means of a dc hot cathode discharge of SiH4 with electrostatic confinement at a pressure as low as 0.4 Pa. The plasma used is quite quiescent as has been observed by means of reproducible Langmuir probe measurements. Substrates have been placed at different locations in between the electrodes, some of them facing the anode and the others facing the cathode. Films deposited on substrates facing the cathode present a granular, non-columnar, structure, an IR spectrum with only SiH absorption peaks, and a very low photoresponse. Films deposited on substrates facing the anode have a similar IR spectrum but are homogeneous, have lower hydrogen content, and present a high photoresponse. The optical absorption coefficientα shows in all samples theαnE=C(E−E0) x behaviour, but with exponentx=3 and notx=2 as is usually considered in a-Si∶H.

    Notes: Abstract The low-temperature fabrication of silicon nitride films by ArF excimer laser irradiation has been studied. Two fabrication methods are presented. One is photoenhanced direct nitridation of a silicon surface with NH3 for very thin gate insulators, and the other is photo-enhanced deposition of silicon nitride films with Si2H6 and NH3 gases for stable passivation films. The ArF excimer laser irradiation dissociates the NH3 gas producing NH and NH2 radicals which proved effective in instigating the nitridation reaction. The quality of both films has been much improved and the growth temperature has been lowered by using laser irradiation. These photo-enhanced processes seem to be promising ULSI techniques because they do not depend on high temperatures and are free from possible reactor contamination.

    Notes: Abstract The nonlinearI–V behaviour and threshold switching of the bulk Se-Te-Sn system have been experimentally studied at various temperatures. It is observed that the curves are linear for low voltages and become superlinear at higher voltages. After a certain voltageV th, the current through the material shoots to a very high value and the potential across the material drops to a low value. It is also found that there is a decrease inV th with increase in percentage of tin and temperature. An attempt is made to explain the nonlinearI–V behaviour and threshold switching on the basis of a microcrystallite model. A study of Se-Te-Sn system reveals that our results are in concurrence with the theoretical predictions.

    Notes: Abstract A method for quantitative characterization of chaotic dynamical systems is discussed. An electronic instrument for determining the number of independent variablesk *, involved in the motion, is described. It allows one to obtain these in real time from a single observable. The suggested technique has been applied to quantification of strange attractors underlying chaotic instabilities in semi-insulating GaAs∶Cr, and n-Ge, irradiated with high energy electrons. In n-Ge, for instance, the measured numbersk * range from 2 to 4 depending on control parameters. These measurements reveal the highly deterministic nature of the observed chaotic oscillations. The physical mechanisms responsible for the current instabilities and chaotic behaviour are discussed.

    Notes: The static delamination behavior of graphite/epoxy composite specimens subjected to mode I tensile opening (using UDCBUniform double cantilever beam. specimens), and pure mode II shear loading (using ENFEnd-notched flexural. specimens) were studied. The graphite epoxy composites for the study were made from commercially treated fibers, with and without an electropolymerized interlayer. The mode I fracture energy (GIC) was found to be significantly higher (more than 50 percent) for the coated fibers. However, this improvement was accompanied by a high reduction (more than 3 times) in the mode II fracture energy (GIIC). This effect is apparently related to poor adhesion between the interlayer and the epoxy resin, which may be corrected by use of a “top layer” of appropriate composition to form chemical bonds between the phases. The fracture toughness (KIC) of composites made with commercially treated fibers was also evaluated, using double side-notched specimens.

    Notes: An analytical methodology was developed capable of describing interrelations between thermal processing and polymer structure for thermoplastic based composite laminates. Specifically, this modeling methodology was used to describe experimental results generated with a specially designed match die quench mold by processing both neat PEEK polymer and carbon fiber reinforced laminate samples at different cooling rates. The developed model accurately predicted temperature profiles for PEEK laminates of different thicknesses, under normal as well as extreme quenching conditions of 114°C/s. surface cooling rates that are possible to generate with the quench mold. In general, the modeling methodology is capable of predicting a part's thermal profile during processing in terms of the composite's microscopic intrinsic properties (fiber and matrix), composition, and lamina orientation. Furthermore, by coupling to the thermal profile description, a previously developed crystallization kinetics model for PEEK polymer and its carbon reinforced composite, a quantitative description of structural development during processing was obtained. Thus, with this analytical methodology, a skin-core crystallinity profile, where the crystallinity varies with part-thickness as a result of uneven cooling experienced during processing, was predicted both for the neat PEEK polymer and its carbon reinforced laminate forms. Finally, the developed methodology clearly established the interplay of both microscopic heat transfer and kinetics of crystallization/solidification of the matrix that must be accounted for in predicting the final structure of a carbon fiber reinforced laminate that will, in turn, govern microscopic and macroscopic performance.

    Notes: Neat poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) and carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (APC-2) specimens were prepared using a variety of cooling rates to achieve a range of crystallinities. Amorphous specimens were exposed to a variety of fluids to determine the penetrant types which are able to strongly influence the material. This allowed the estimation of the solubility parameter and hydrogen bonding index for PEEK to be 9.5 and 3.1, respectively. Methylene chloride was used to investigate the kinetics of penetrant sorption. The data demonstrated Case II behavior, with the initial crystallinity having a pronounced effect on both the kinetic and equilibrium data. Accordingly, a model was proposed capable of describing the sorption level and penetration depth as a function of time given the sample crystallinity and sorption temperature. With Case II behavior there was no difference in the sorption kinetics of neat and fiber reinforced PEEK. Finally, the dynamic mechanical properties measured during sorption were found to be dependent on the sorption process.

    Notes: The dynamic shear viscosity and the morphology of polypropylene homopolymer and copolymer blended with linear low density polyethylene are studied. A maximum in the dynamic shear viscosity vs. blend composition is reported for the polypropylene copolymer, linear low density polyethylene system. The increasing dynamic shear viscosity is in accordance with the occurrence of a morphology of polyethylene inclusions in rubber surrounded by a polypropylene matrix. Comparing calculations of the dynamic shear viscosities - based on a shell model with interlayer - and experimental results supports this view.

    Notes: Hydroxy-terminated copoly(fstyrene-b-1,2-butadiene) (HPSB) containing rubber-affinitive vinyl side chains and having a molecular weight of 2000 to 4000 were prepared, and block copolyurethanes were synthesized by using a low molecular weight hydroxy-terminated poly (ethyl en e terephthalate) as a PET-affinitive component and 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate as a chain extender. The relationships between the molecular weight of HPSB, copolymerization ratio of styrene to butadiene and the adhesive strength of PKT/rubber in high temperature atmospheres were examined. A peak of adhesive strength was observed at styrene copolymerization ratio of 20 wt percent and a HPSB molecular weight of 3000. The adhesion mechanism was estimated from the behavior of the characteristic infrared absorption of block Copolyurethane in heating.

    Notes: In vibration welding of thermoplastics, frictional work done by vibrating two parts under pressure, along their common interface, is used to generate heat to effect a weld. The main process parameters in vibration welding are the weld frequency, the amplitude of the vibratory motion, the weld pressure, and the weld time. How these parameters affect weld quality, the conditions that result in the best welds, the weldability of dissimilar plastics, and the effect of fillers such as glass are of interest. To address these issues, a research vibration welding machine in which all the parameters can be independently and accurately controlled and monitored was designed and fabricated. The phenomenology of welding, as determined by experiments on the four thermoplastics polycarbonate, poly (butylene terephthalate), polyetherimide, and modified poly (phenylene oxide), is described.

    Notes: An engineering analysis of the reactive extrusion process of a thermoplastic polyurethane was made through numerical simulation and actual experiment. The reactants used in this system were 4,4′diphenylmethane diisocyanate, polycaprolactone diol (M.W., 824), and 1,4-bu-tanediol with equivalent weight ratio of 2:1:1. As a catalyst, dibutyltin dilaurate was used. The reaction kinetics and the viscosity function were obtained through experiments, and the mathematical model which includes the conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and chemical species was solved numerically to obtain the velocity, concentration, temperature, viscosity, and pressure profiles. The actual experiments were performed in the laboratory scale extruder to compare the experimental results with those of the numerical simulation.

    Notes: A series of polyurethane-urea/polyvinyl simultaneous interpenetrating polymer networks (SINs) were prepared starting from a mixture of isocyanate prepolymer blocked with N-(1-1′-dimethyl-3-cxobutyl) acrylamide oxime, chain extender, vinyl monomers, and catalysts. Their physical properties and morphology were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical measurements, and small-angle X-ray scattering. The polyurethane-urea networks examined were two-phase in nature. The vinyl network was formed with diacetone acrylamide oxime, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, and N-vinyl-pyrrolidone. Calorimetric analyses revealed that the polyether soft segment phase separated within the SINs. At higher temperature, dynamic mechanical measurements demonstrated the presence of only one glass transition temperature (Tg) intermediate in temperature to the Tg of the vinyl network and the Tg of the urethane hard phase. This is indicative of chain entanglement (interpenetration) between the vinyl network and the polyurethane hard segments resulting in a two-phase morphology. Small-angle X-ray scattering analyses provided measurements of diffuse phase boundary thickness, phase mixing, and domain size distribution. Appreciable interfacial thickness was not observed and thus phase mixing occurred within the phases. Domain size distribution indicated that high network constraints hindered the development of domains and limited the phase segregation.

    Notes: Equations are derived that relate the orientation of “pseudo-affine” reoriented structural units after a biaxial deformation to the degrees and the directions of the effective drawings. The connection between these drawing parameters and those externally applied is analyzed in detail. It is shown how a comparison of these two sets of drawing parameters allows conclusions regarding the distribution throughout the material of the stresses that cause the deformation, the inhomogeneity of the deformation, and the role of non-orienting flow during deformation. In particular, the orientation of biaxially drawn poly(ethylene terephthalate) films is investigated, and it is shown what general information can be obtained on the deformation behavior of this material on the basis of these considerations.

    Notes: Scale-up from small laboratory size extruders to large production size extruders is a procedure of great practical importance. Many scale-up rules and theories have been proposed in the past, however it is not always clear how the different scale-up methods will affect extruder performance. A basic analysis of scale-up in plasticating single screw extruders is developed from which the effect of a certain scale-up strategy on extrusion performance can be evaluated in terms of solids conveying, melting, melt conveying, mixing, residence time, heat transfer, power consumption, and specific energy consumption. Various existing scale-up theories are evaluated and compared using the basic analysis. A number of existing scale-up theories have some significant drawbacks, in particular with non-constant specific energy consumption and imbalance between melting rate and pumping rate. Conditions that are desirable to achieve in scale-up are enumerated and ranked in terms of importance. This leads to two new scale-up methods that result in constant mechanical specific energy consumption and high throughput rates. The first scale-up method keeps the specific surface area constant. This scale-up should work well for high values of the Brinkman number. However, at low values of the Brinkman number, the melting rate may be insufficient. The second scale-up method keeps the melting rate at low Brinkman number equal to the pumping rate and, thus, should be useful in cases where the first scale-up method cannot be used.

    Notes: The plane strain fracture toughness and fracture mechanisms of several tough engineering plastics have been studied and compared with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), a relatively brittle polymer. The tough polymers all are observed to form a multiple craze zone at the crack tip, which is shown to be the primary source of plane strain fracture toughness in these materials. The multiple craze zone is retained during slow crack growth but is metastable, and at a critical stress intensity and associated crack velocity, the system passes through a transition to a greatly accelerated single craze mode of unstable propagation.

    Notes: Three-layer coextruded blown (either blend or composite) films, made of low-density polyethylene and linear lowdensity polyethylene (1:1 ratio) of identical density, were compared. The tensile properties of both systems are nearly as high as those of the linear polyethylene while high strain rate properties including impact strength and tear resistance of the composite film are superior. Some structural insight was obtained by thermal analysis and thermoelastic measurements. Structure property relationships are discussed in light of the unique behavior, structure, and morphology of linear low-density polyethylene. The two polyethylenes are only compatible to a rather limited extent mainly affecting their blend behavior. However, a strong mutual reinforcement effect was observed.

    Notes: A Viton copolymer containing vinylidene fluoride (VF2) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP), and a terpolymer containing VF2, HFP, and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) were cross linked using varying amounts of Bisphenol AF to yield two series of fluoroelastomer networks, Stress-strain isotherms in elongation were determined for these samples at several temperatures and at two degrees of swelling with phenyl acetate. Strain-induced crystallization was observed, as evidenced by upturns in the isotherms at high elongations. It appears to be more pronounced in the terpolymer samples, presumably because the TFE units not only can crystallize themselves, but can co-crystallize with the VF2 units. The crystallization was found to persist upon moderate increase in temperature, but was suppressed when the networks were swollen, Thermoelastic (force-temperature) measurements were used to obtain values of the fraction fe/f of the elastic force that is due to energetic effects. Negative values were obtained for both types of samples and, in the case of two samples studied in detail, their magnitudes increased with increase in elongation. The magnitudes were larger and the increases more pronounced in the case of the terpolymer networks, as would be expected from a greater tendency for straininduced crystallization.

    Notes: The transesterification reaction of molten ethylene and vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVA), in presence of paraffinic alcohols and basic catalysts, leads to high conversion of the ester groups to secondary alcohol in both discontinuous and continuous processing equipment. Various kinds of alcohols and two different catalysts were used. Sodium methoxide is a powerful catalyst for the equilibrated transesterification reaction, but we also observed side reactions, such as cross-linking with low-molecular-weight alcohols and hydrolysis of the catalyst followed by partial saponification of the EVA. Kinetic studies were performed in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate, an efficient catalyst without any side reactions. The solubility of the main alcohol reagents was verified by diffusion measurements. The general reaction scheme and the related kinetics, corresponding to a homogeneous system, lead to a fair evaluation of the rate constants.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of polyurethane-unsaturated polyester interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) that were prepared by reaction injection molding (RIM) process were measured with variations In composition, cross-link density, and relative reaction rate. From dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), it was found that the two component polymers had a good compatibility over the whole composition range. The tensile strengths of the blends were greater than those of the pure components and had a maximum value at 50/50 composition. The modulus of elasticity and surface hardness decreased and the impact strength increased as the polyurethane content was increased, but the changes were not high at low polyurethane content, below 50%. For higher cross-link density, the compatibility was enhanced and the mechanical properties were improved. When the reaction rates of the components were different, some extent of phase separation was found in DMA and the properties were affected adversely.

    Notes: Effects of absorbed moisture on degradation behavior of high nitrile barrier polymers were monitored using thermogravimetric analysis techniques. Non-modified and 10 percent rubber modified samples were heated isothermally at nitrile processing temperatures (200°C to 240°C) in air and nitrogen environments. Degradation was evaluated in terms of weight loss as a function of heating time and sample coloration. It was determined that complete removal of moisture, as well as high moisture concentration, contribute to increased degradation at the temperatures evaluated. Moisture levels in the range of 0.15 to 0.5 percent were found to minimize degradation. Heating environment, time, temperature, and rubber modification were also found to influence thermal stability.

    Notes: High density polyethylene has been chlorinated by three different methods: in suspension and in solutions of two different solvents. Carbon-13 NMR and infrared analysis show that chlorination in chlorobenzene solution leads to statistically random distribution while chlorination in suspension gives highly blocky substitution. An intermediate distribution was obtained by chlorination in tetrachloroethane solution.

    Notes: The energy stored in polystyrene after plastic deformation is measured by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. Similar to metals, the stored energy increases with plastic straining, first rapidly, and then more slowly, and finally the stored energy seems to approach a saturation value (about 1 cal/gram). By comparing to the plastic work done, the fraction stored ranges from 30 percent after 10 percent compression to 10 percent after 60 percent compression. The fraction is about twice as large as that of copper. The release of stored energy has two distinct parts, one below Tg and the other above Tg. Most of the strain recovery seems to accompany the second part. By using the Kissinger plot, the second part has an activation energy, of 142 kcal/mole which is about 10 percent larger than that of compressive strain recovery.

    Notes: A trial and error approach reflects the state of the art in reaction injection molding. Material and process parameters determine the “moldability” of a specific system in a particular application. The concept of “molding areas” on the critical parameters plane can be extended form thermoplastic injection molding (TIM) to reaction injection molding (RIM).In this work moldability diagrams for the filling and curing stages of a RIM process are obtained based on a simplified engineering approach. The key process parameters chosen for the filling stage are initial material temperature and filling time. In the curing stage, the critical parameters are considered to be mold wall temperature and demold time. Experimental results obtained on a laboratory-scale RIM machine on a Crosslinking polyurethane system are used to check the validity of the predicted molding areas. The agreement obtained is satisfactory considering the broad range of processing parameters used.

    Notes: The microstructure of injection molded bars (2.9 and 5.8 mm thick) of thermotropic liquid crystalline poly(p-hydroxy-benzoic acid-co-ethylene terephthalate) has been studied by SEM on samples etched with n-propylamine, SEM fractography, DSC, IR, ESCA, WAXS and polarized microscopy. The 2.9 mm bar consists of three different layers: a highly oriented surface skin, an oriented intermediate layer and a non-oriented core. The 5.8 mm bar has a more complex microstructure and is composed of five different layers: a highly oriented surface skin, an oriented layer just beneath, a non-oriented layer, another oriented layer and a non-oriented core. The thicknesses of the different layers vary, significantly, with distance from the mold gate. The thickness of the core increases, significantly, with increasing distance from the mold gate at the expense of the oriented layers. The structure within the different morphological layers is not perfectly uniform. Tensile testing demonstrated the mechanical anisotropy of the surface material (a ratio of almost 20 between the longitudinal and transverse moduli) and the isotropy of the central core material.

    Notes: Rolling-drawing is a simple, effective, solid state processing technique for manufacturing high strength and high modulus oriented polymer sheet products. The process is capable of increasing the tensile modulus and strength of polypropylene by more, than an order of magnitude with inexpensive equipment and straight forward controllable techniques. This paper gives an overview of the rolling-drawing of polypropylene. It is intended to answer the following questions. What is rolling-drawing? What changes in tensile properties can be expected as a result of this process? What deformation processes occur during rolling-drawing? What are the processing variables and how do these variables relate to the deformation ratio achieved by rolling-drawing? A tensile flow stress relationship was formulated from experimental data for oriented polypropylene. This constitutive equation, estimates the flow stress (or yield stress) of the polymer as a function of deformation ratio, strain rate and temperature. Since stretching was found to provide a significant portion of the deformation during the rolling-drawing process a Hoffman-Sachs computer analysis was written to predict plastic deformation and drawing forces in the stretch zone. The results of experimentation and the analysis are briefly compared in this paper.

    Notes: An extrusion-grade of high density polyethylene (HOPE) (3 ethyl groups per 1000 carbons) has been divided into 16 fractions by preparative GPC and selective p-xylene extraction. The fractions, with molecular weights ranging from 900 to 1,000,000, have been studied by IR spectros-copy, DSC, WAXS, polarized microscopy, and small-angle light scattering (SALS), The average degree of chain branching (percent C2H5) is 0.5 percent for the part of the sample having a molecular weight lower than 10,000 and it decreases monotonically with increasing molecular weight, finally approaching 0.1 percent C2H5. A crystallinity depression with respect to linear PE equivalent to 20 percent/(percent C2H5) is recorded for all samples except for the very low molecular weight samples for which the crystallinity depression is much larger (30 to 35 percent/ (percent C2H5)). The unit cell volume increases with increasing percent C2H5, presumably due to the inclusion of ethyl groups in the crystals as interstitlals at 2gl kinks. The concentration of ethyl groups in the crystals (∊c) unanimously follows the relationship: ∊c(percent) = 0.32 + 0.25 log(percent C2H5) except for the low molecular weight fractions which have significantly lower values for ∊c. Our admittedly speculative explanation for this major discrepancy between high and low molecular weight samples is based on the idea that segments with ethyl groups close to chain ends have a greater difficulty in crystallizing than segments containing ethyl groups located at positions far from the chain ends. The fractions obtained from the extrusion-grade HDPE show a solidification temperature depression with respect to linear PE which can only be explained by the presence of chain branches in these samples. The depression is particularly pronounced for the low molecular weight samples as is expected from the data on molecular structure. Well-developed non-banded spherulites are observed in rapidly cooled (crystallized at about 35 K supercooling), low molecular weight samples (6,000 〈 Mw 〈 8,000)from the extrusion-grade HDPE in contrast to the axialites observed in linear PE of the same molecular weight and thermal treatment. This discrepancy in morphology has been related to the presence of ethyl groups in the extrusion grade HDPE fractions. Higher molecular weight samples (20,000 〈 Mw 〈 1,000,000)from the extrusion-grade HDPE and linear PE both display well-developed banded spherulites of similar nature as is expected due to the similarity in molecular structure of the two sets of sample.

    Notes: In this work, a concept of distributed damage, including its inception and propagation, was applied to creep induced buckling of specimens prepared from high density polyethylene (HDPE). Using a kinetic relationship for damage accumulation, an integral equation for the front of the damage zone was derived. A time parameter associated with the inception of the damage front was obtained. The motion of the front was approximated for small times. Long time estimation was obtained using an assumption for a shape of the damage distribution. These results enabled us to review reported experimental results on creep induced buckling using a new insight into the relationship between applied load and time to buckle.

    Notes: We present a basic study of the thermal, dielectric, Theological, and mechanical properties of hydroxybenzoic acid-ethylene terephthalate copolymers (PHB-PET). It is argued that they have two-phase structures, one rich in ethylene terephthalate (PET) and one rich in hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB). Polystyrene (PS) is immiscible in 60% PHB-PET (60-PHB-PET) blends. Polycarbonate (PC) is partially miscible with the high PET phase of 60-PHB-PET. PET seems completely miscible with this high PET phase. Shear viscosity measurements on blends indicate that 60-PHB-PET gives rise to large reductions of viscosity. Extrudates and melt-spun fibers have been prepared. The phase morphologies of low PHB-PET blends as determined by scanning electron microscopy indicate ellipsoids or long fibrils of the, 60-PHB-PET in PS or PC matrices. High extrusion rates and melt spinning produce fibrillar structures. The mechanical properties of films, extrudates, and melt-spun fibers were studied. Blends with 10% 60-PHB-PET exhibited significant increases in Young's modulus and tensile strength.

    Notes: The kinetics of the activated anionic polymerization of caprolactam to nylon-6 and its copolymers has been studied. Nylon-6 block copolymer and nylon-6 were prepared at various initial reaction temperatures (140°C to 165°C) by anionic polymerization in an adiabatic dewar flask. Different concentrations of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in 4,4′-diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI)-capped PEO and 1 mole percent MDI, in a caprolactam solution, were used as the activators with the catalyst, the sodium salt of caprolactam. The kinetics of the reaction were analyzed from an adiabatic temperature rise. A new method was applied to determine the rate parameters. The activation energy, Ea, of nylon-6 and nylon-6 block copolymers were found to be 22 kcal/mole. The collision frequency factor, Ao, steadily decreased and the autocatalytic constant, Bo, decreased to a constant value of 16 with the introduction of PEO. However, it was found that the order of reaction, n, was almost a constant value at the second order for all experiments.

    Notes: Chlorination of high density; polyethylene results in polymers which consist of unmodified methylene units and chlorinated methylene co-units. The effect of the concentration and distribution of chlorinated units on the solid state structure has been examined by thermal, wide angle X-ray diffraction and dynamic mechanical analysis. As the substitution becomes more random, the crystallinity, crystallite size, and crystalline perfection decrease for a given chlorine content. The chlorinated units are shown to be capable of co-crystallizing, and the concentration of chlorine in the crystalline phase increases as the distribution is made more random. Concurrently, the chlorine concentration of the amorphous phase decreases. Segregation of chlorine into the amorphous regions is most efficient when the substitution is blocky.

    Notes: The reversible step growth polymerization in homogeneous continuous flow stirred tank reactors (HCSTRs), in which the condensation product (W) leaves the reactor through flashing, has been analyzed. The molecular weight distribution (MWD) of the polymer formed is governed by nonlinear coupled algebraic relations to be solved simultaneously. To find the MWD numerically a large number of these are normally solved simultaneously using a suitable iterative procedure. In this paper, these have been decoupled using the technique proposed in our earlier works (1, 2) and the MWD can now be obtained sequentially without any trial and error. This leads to considerable saving in computation time compared to methods currently used. To demonstrate the efficacy of the algorithm, the polycondensation step of the poly(ethylene terephthal-ate) (PET) formed in HCSTRs has been analyzed. The MWD, the average chain length and the polydispersity index of the polymer have been computed and it takes 0.1 CPU seconds on a DEC 1090 as opposed to the earlier method which would take seventy minutes for similar computations. The simple model of the HCSTR for the PET formation gives the effect of reactor temperature and pressure and the quantitative results have been presented in this paper.

    Notes: A mathematical model is presented which describes the degree of cure in a thermosetting adhesive used to bond sheet molding compound (SMC) components. The model allows computer aided optimization of the thermosetting process for any type of electromagnetic heating of the various layers of the structure (e.g. dielectric, microwave or induction), arbitrary material properties and arbitrary layer thickness. Computer simulated results are given for the particular case when the cure of the thermosetting material is initiated by its exposure to a high-power radio-frequency electric field (dielectric heating). These results indicate a strong sensitivity of the process to the thickness of the adhesive layer and the degree of coupling with the electromagnetic field. The analysis demonstrates that substantial heat losses from the relatively thin adhesive layer to the structural members of the joint by diffusive heat flow can be counterbalanced by additional electric power dissipated either in the adhesive or the structural members of the joint. Although derived for dielectric heating, those results are general, being independent of the type of electromagnetic heating employed.

    Notes: We have determined the degree of stiffness of a poly(γ-benzyl α, L-glutamate) (PBLG) chain in benzyl alcohol by measuring the intrinsic viscosities of dilute Solutions with differing molecular weights. Viscoelastic properties in oscillatory shear flow have been studied and the dependence of the loss and storage moduli on temperature, composition, and frequency are reported. We have also studied the transient shear stress relaxation behavior of the PBLG gel at different temperatures and concentrations. A comparison has been made between these gels and a classical poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) network, as well as, typical glassy polymers. Shear creep and recovery measurements have been made for this system. Some extensional step strain experiments using lubricated squeezing have been investigated. Tensile experiments have been made to determine stress-strain relationship during elongation. Preliminary experiments using the impulse approach to viscoelasticity further indicate the high elastic contribution in the gel.

    Notes: It is well known that equilibrium, thermodynamic properties are governed by different functional derivatives of the thermodynamic functions of state. For example, the phase behavior of mixtures of low and/or high molar mass components is determined by the compositional derivatives of the free energy. In this contribution, the merits of the Simha-Somcynsky theory in describing and predicting the phase behavior of mixtures are considered. The influence of temperature and composition on the miscibility behavior for practically binary polymer solutions are studied. Furthermore, the important aspect of polydispersity, inherent to synthetic polymer systems will be addressed.

    Notes: A recently developed analytical technique, modulus profiling, conveniently allows the mechanical properties of elastomers to be mapped with spatial resclutions approaching 0.05 mm. Thus, spatial heterogeneities in modulus caused by processing and aging phenomena can be easily monitored. This paper describes some typical results from polymer aging studies, which Indicate the insights available from this technique. These include application of modulus profiling to understanding (1) mechanical property deterioration of Viton in an elevated temperature, gamma-radiation environment, (2) recent continuous stress-relaxation results, and (3) the role of ozone for non mechanically-stressed materials in high energy radiation environments.

    Notes: The present paper describes the evaluation of nonlinear thermally induced residual stresses in the cooling of polymer melt during injection molding of plastic components. The computational methodology adopted is based on the transfinite element approach, which is a hybrid scheme as it combines transform methods and classical Galerkin schemes with finite element formulations to preserve the modeling versatility. The applicability of the proposed formulations for understanding the physics and the nature of the nonlinear thermally induced stresses in the solidifying process of a sample amorphous polystyrene specimen demonstrates the basic capabilities and potential of the methodology. Results obtained agree qualitatively well with earlier research studies and experimental findings relevant to thermally induced residual stresses in the injection molding of plastic components.

    Notes: A method to obtain microscopic and macroscopic coatings with improved resistance to debonding is described. The procedure, based on polymer-metal complexes, involved the adsorption on inorganic substrates of a poly(vinyl alcohol)-copper II chelate that is also able to catalyze the polymerization of monomers or prepolymers with grafting. The molecular structure of the complex, its adsorption on inorganic surfaces, and the mechanism of the polymerization induced by the supported catalyst are summarized. Much emphasis is placed on application of this technology to the realization of encapsulated filler and pigment and of coatings with improved adherence and solvent resistance. In the field of composite materials, it is demonstrated from several examples that the encapsulation of the filler can be a way to block chemical interactions between filler and matrix, to promote filler dispersion, and to improve mechanical properties.

    Notes: The effect of titanate, zirconate, and zircoaluminate coupling agents on the viscosity of zirconia-polypropylene injection molding blends was investigated. The zircoaluminate did not influence viscosity while the two former additives effected a considerable reduction. The titanate coupling agent also reduced the viscosity of the polymer in the absence of ceramic powder, and was more efficient in this respect, as a flow modifier than dioctyl phthalate. A comparable effect on the ceramic suspension was obtained by adding a species similar in molecular structure to the titanate coupling agent but without coupling ability.

    Notes: The dielectric properties of thermoplastic and cross-linked polyethylene compounds with a low structure medium thermal carbon black are described in the frequency range between 30 and 8000 kHz as a function of frequency, temperature, and carbon black loading. Very high values of the dielectric constant were obtained for the conductive samples. The systems investigated are shown to follow percolative type models with experimental critical exponents in good agreement with the predicted values. The dielectric constant increases slowly with the carbon black concentration up to roughly the percolation concentration, then increases rapidly, and subsequently decreases at the higher black loadings. The dissipation factor-concentration curves show maximum values in the vicinity of the percolation concentration. The dielectric properties of these systems are discussed in terms of interfacial Maxwell-Wagner polarization effects.

    Notes: This paper presents a method for analyzing the cure of multilayer circuit boards containing chemically reactive adhesive interlayers. The cure kinetics of the adhesive are first quantified by differential scanning calorimetry, using the method of Freeman and Carroll to obtain the numerical kinetic parameters. These parameters are then used in a finite-element model of the circuit board which solves the heat and species transfer equations simultaneously. It is then possible to predict the temperature and extent of reaction at any time and position within the laminate, enabling the curing program to be optimized.
