Structure-to-property relationships for heat transport in organic semiconductors
Lukas Seewald

The low intrinsic thermal conductivity of organic semiconductors is a limitation for applications in which heat is dissipated and has to be transported away from the active region. Conversely, it is a huge advantage for thermal barriers or thermoelectric usage. Even for non-therm ... more

Characterization of oxide-in-oxide glass-ceramics
Jacopo Remondina, University Milano-Bicocca

Glass ceramics are compound materials in which both an amorphous (the glassy matrix) and a crystalline (usually nanoparticles) phases are present. The fact that both the phases are completely inorganic and have similar affinity should grant better homogeneity of mechanical, elect ... more

Center to edge uniformity improvement during chemical mechanical polishing
Armin Domitner

Chemial Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is a process used in microelectronics to give wafers a flat surface. The materials that are removed are often quite hard such as silicon, silicon-dioxide, tungsten, and TiN. The wafers are polished using a slurry containing chemicals to attack t ... more

Characterisation of Post-Consumer Polymers by Rheology
Bianca Lindner

Polymer materials have various unique properties. Especially post-consumer recyclates (PCR) need to be characterised accurately. Viscosity of a polymer melt tell a lot about the behaviour of the material, therefore rheology measurements are chosen to characterise PCR polymers. Th ... more
