Article Abstract
Wire bonding, one of the methods for electrically connecting a semiconductor chip with a substrate, involves attaching thin metal wires to pads. It is the oldest electrical connection method that exhibits high compatibility with other processes. The metal wires used for electrical connection in wire bonding are mainly made of Au, Cu, and Ag. After the wire bonding, molding is performed using the epoxy molding compound (EMC). However, EMC inevitably contains ions such as halogen elements. In addition, it absorbs moisture due to its hydrophilicity, creating a corrosive environment with electrolytes. In this study, we evaluated the influence of hydrochloric acid concentration on corrosion behavior between Au or Cu bonding wires and sputtered Al bond pads. The electrochemical factors such as corrosion potential difference (ΔE), galvanic corrosion current density (i), and anodic and cathodic Tafel slopes were found to influence galvanic corrosion behavior. Galvanic corrosion tendency in first bond and second bond areas of PCB unit specimen was confirmed.

The most significant challenge facing magnesium alloy stents is their ability to withstand complex deformation during their application. To gain a deeper understanding of the impact of stent deformation on the protective capabilities of the coating, this paper presents an amplified stent deformation model. The models were coated with either a low elongation material-Poly(D, L-lactide) (PDLLA) or a high elongation material-Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), followed by the application of a rapamycin-loaded PLGA as drug-eluting layer.

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) play a crucial role in protecting aeroengine turbine blades in high-temperature environments. An essential component in these multilayer systems is the bond coat, which guarantees the adhesion of the ceramic topcoat and superalloys. This study employs a high-activity pack aluminizing method to form a coating.

Self-healing polymeric coatings represent a transformative class of smart materials capable of autonomously or stimuli-responsively repairing mechanical or environmental damage, thereby significantly extending the operational lifespan of protected substrates. This review systematically elucidates the underlying mechanisms and chemistries enabling self-healing behavior, encompassing both extrinsic strategies such as microcapsules, microvascular networks, and corrosion inhibitor reservoirs and intrinsic approaches based on dynamic covalent (e.g.

Aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs) emerge as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their cost-effectiveness and safety, yet challenges like dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution, and poor cycling stability persist. Herein, a homogeneous non-Newtonian electrolyte (NNE) with shear-thinning property is designed to address these challenges. The NNE is prepared by incorporating a thickening polyquaternary ammonium salt, forming a super-viscous sol electrolyte while maintaining high ionic conductivity (52.
