The effect of unreactive coupling agent on mechanical and thermal properties of talc-filled polypropylene (PP) composites was studied. Stearic and oleic acids were introduced as coupling agents, and tensile, flexural, and impact strength, thermal stability and melting transition temperature were measured and analyzed according to the types and concentration of coupling agents. Tensile and flexural strength were enhanced by introduction of coupling agent and the maximum effect was observed at the concentration of 3 wt% of coupling agent. Tensile and flexural strength of PP treated with oleic acid were higher than those of PP treated with stearic acid. but impact strength vice-versa. The reasons for these results were postulated by analyzing morphologies of talc-filled PP observed by SEM.

Reaction between silica and silane coupling agent without solvent was investigated using transmission mode Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Bis[3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide] (TESPT) was used as a silane coupling agent. After removing the unreacted TESPT, formation of chemical bonds was analyzed using FTIR and content of reacted TESPT was determined using TGA. Content of the coupling agent bonded to silica increased with increase in the coupling agent content, but the oligomers were formed by condensation reaction between coupling agents when the coupling agent was used to excess. In order to identify bonds formed among silica, coupling agent, and rubber, a silica-coupling agent-BR model composite was prepared by reaction of the modified silica with liquid BR of low molecular weight and chemical bond formation of silica-coupling agent-BR was investigated. Unreacted rubber was removed with solvent and analysis was performed using FTIR and TGA. BR was reacted with the coupling agent of the modified silica to form chemical bonds. Polarity of silica surface was strikingly reduced and particle size of silica was increased by chemical bond formation of silica-coupling agent-BR.

In this paper, AUTODYN blasting simulation of single blast hole were conducted to evaluate the blasting effects of Polymer Gel. The coupling mediums used as the filling material around an explosive charge were air and gelatin. each simulation case was D I(decoupling index) 1.0, 1.25, 1.56 with air or polymer gel coupling materials. In order to evaluate blast effects full charge model was used as a reference for evaluation of blasting effects. The results of numerical analysis showed that fragmentation of a limestone model of were much more fractured by polymer gel medium than by air medium. As expected, the transmitted peak pressure was higher polymer gel coupled model than in air medium.

We investigated the damage effects of microcontroller devices under high power electromagnetic(HPEM) wave. HPEM wave was radiated from the open-ended standard rectangular waveguide(WR-340) to free space. The influence of different reset-, clock-, data-, and power supply-line lengths has been tested. The susceptibility of the tested microcontroller devices was in general much influenced by clock-, reset-, and power supply-line length, little influenced by data-line length. Further the line length was increased, the malfunction threshold was decreased as expected, because more energy couples to the devices. The surfaces of the destroyed microcontroller devices were removed and the chip conditions were investigated with microscope. The microscopic analysis of the damaged devices showed component and bondwire destructions such as breakthroughs and melting due to thermal effects.

In this paper, a periodically corrugated transmission line is proposed. The proposed transmission line can reduce crosstalk between transmission lines. The corrugated transmission line can adjust the amount of inductive coupling and capacitive coupling equally. Thus, the crosstalk is effectively reduced because the inductive coupling and capacitive coupling cancel each other. The corrugated transmission line is fabricated on RO4003 substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.38 and a thickness of 0.508 mm. The simulated far-end crosstalks of conventional transmission line and corrugated transmission line with a period of A=1 mm have maximum values of -3.6 dB and -22 dB, respectively, up to 30 GHz. Measurement results showed that far-end crosstalks of the conventional and corrugated transmission line have maximum values of -6.3 dB and -20.5 dB, respectively, up to 30 GHz.

High temperature and stress are encounted in power plants and vehicle engines. Therefore, determination of the creep-fatigue life of a material is necessary prior to fabricating equipments. In this study, life design was determined on the basis of the lethargy coefficient for different temperatures, stress and rupture times. SP-Creep test data was compared with computed data. The SP-Creep test was performed to obtain the rupture time for X20CrMoV121 steel. The integration life equation was considered for three cases with various load, temperature and load-temperature. First, the lethargy coefficient was calculated by using the obtained rupture stress and the rupture time that were determined by carrying out the SP-Creep test. Next, life was predicted on the basis of the temperature condition. Finally, it was observed that life decreases considerably due to the coupling effect that results when fatigue and creep occur simultaneously.

Understanding charge transfer across the interface between organic semiconductor and gate insulator gives insight into the development of high-performance organic memory as well as highly stable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In this work, we firstly unveil a novel interfacial charge transfer mechanism, in which hole transfer from organic semiconductor to polymer insulator was nonlinearly boosted by localized states coupling. For this, OFETs based on rubrene single crystal semiconductor and Mylar gate insulator were fabricated via vacuum lamination, which allows stable repetition of lamination and delamination between semiconductor and gate insulator. The surfaces of rubrene single crystal and Mylar film were selectively degraded by photo-induced oxygen diffusion and UV-ozone treatment, respectively. Consequently, we found that the interfacial charge transfer and resultant bias-stress effect were nonlinearly boosted by coupling between localized states in rubrene and Mylar. In particular, the small number of localized states in rubrene single crystal provided fluent pathway for interfacial charge transport.

Decoupling capacitors are commonly used to reduce the effect of SSN propagated through parallel power and ground planes in high-speed multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs). In this paper, we introduced a simple high frequency measurement and proposed a wideband (50 MHz ∼3 GHz) equivalent circuit model for decoupling capacitor considering high frequency parasitic effects. The proposed model can be easily combined with the SPICE model of power supply planes far SSN analysis. The circuit simulations with the proposed model show good agreement with the measurement results. Also, we expect to accurately analyze the noise reduction effect as a function of value and location using the proposed model of decoupling capacitor.
