The deposition of palladium complexes [ Pd（（η3-allyl）（hfac） and Pd（hfac）2 ] gives pure palladium film, while the deposition of platinum needs the enhancement of palladium complex by mixing precursor platinum complex Pt（COD）Me2 and palladium complex in the same chamber. The co-deposition of Pd and Pt metals was used for the deposition of alloy films. During the CVD of palladium-platinum alloy, the Pd/Pt atomic ratios vary under different co-deposition conditions. These metal films were characterized by XPS and SEM, and show a good adhesive property.展开更多

In order to overcome these problems,oxygen plasma was used to modify the surface of fibers. The single fiber fragmentation test( SFFT) was used to characterize the interfacial adhesion performance of PI fiber as a simple and accurate analysis method. It was found that the interfacial shear strength between the fiber and resin after oxygen plasma modification was increased by 54% compared to the untreated fiber. Meanwhile, the surface micromorphology,chemical composition, wettability of fibers and the interface morphology at the fiber fracture were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope( FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy( XPS),contact angle measurement and polarizing microscope,respectively. All of these results demonstrated that the single fiber fragmentation test for analyzing the interfacial adhesion of PI fibers was effective.展开更多

According to the electron density distribution for quasi two-phase mixture doped by spherical nanoparticles, the electron densities in the interfaces of PI/Al2O3 nanocomposite films are evaluated. The trap level density and carrier mobility in the interface are studied. The experimental results show that the distribution and the change rate of the electron density in the three layers of interface are different, indicating different trap distributions in the interface layers. There is a maximum trap level density in the second layer, where the maximum trap level density for the nanocomposite film doped by 25 wt% is 1.054 × 10^22 eV·m^-3 at 1.324eV, resulting in the carrier mobility reducing. In addition, both the thickness and the electron density of the nanocomposite film interface increase with the addition of the doped Al2O3 contents. Through the study on the trap level distribution in the interface, it is possible to further analyze the insulation mechanism and to improve the performance of nano-dielectric materials.展开更多
