Development of high‐definition aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone photoresists for cathode ray tubes

Aqueous photoresists that are capable of higher resolutions than are currently employed by the cathode ray tube (CRT) industry were developed by combining photoactivators, which activate at shorter UV wavelengths with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Two photoactivators were synthesized: 4,4′‐diazido‐2,2′‐biphenyl disodium disulfonate (DABP), which has a maximum absorbance at 264 nm, and 4,4′‐diazido‐2,2′‐biphenylethane disodium disulfonate (DABPE), which has a maximum absorbance at 258 nm. The PVP/DABP and PVP/DABPE photoresists successfully imaged a pattern with resolution as small as 4.4 μm with photoactivator concentrations greater than 20% of the PVP concentration. Addition of silane and emulgen greatly improved the performance of the photoresists with more uniform coatings of thicknesses of up to 1.4 μm. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrochemical investigation of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 thin film intercalation electrodes

This work provides kinetic and transport parameters of Li-ion during its extraction/insertion into thin film LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ free of binder and conductive additive. Thin films of LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (0.2 μm thick) were prepared on electronically conductive gold substrate utilizing the electrostatic spray deposition technique. High purity LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ thin film electrodes were observed with cyclic voltammetry, to exhibit very sharp peaks, high reversibility, and absence of the 4 V signal related to the Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ redox couple. The electrode subjected to 100 CV cycles of charge/discharge delivered a capacity of 155 mAh g⁻¹ on the first cycle and sustained a good cycling behavior while retaining 91% of the initial capacity after 50 cycles. Kinetics and mass-transport of Li-ion extraction at LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ thin film electrode were investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The apparent chemical diffusion coefficient (D_app) value determined from EIS measurements changed depending on the electrode potential in the range of 10⁻¹⁰-10⁻¹² cm² s⁻¹. The D_app profile shows two minimums at the potential values close to the peak potentials of the corresponding cyclic voltammogram.     

A novel layered Li [Li0.12NizMg0.32−zMn0.56]O2 cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Layered Li[Li_0.12Ni_zMg_0.32−zMn_0.56]O₂ oxide cathodes containing lithium atoms in the transition metal layers were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), galvanostatic cycling, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Li[Li_0.12Ni_zMg_0.32−zMn_0.56]O₂ cathodes deliver a specific discharge capacity of about 190 mAh/g at room temperature and 236 mAh/g at 55 °C when cycled between 2.7 and 4.6 V versus Li/Li⁺. Excellent capacity retention and smooth potential profiles at room and elevated temperatures over extended cycles suggest that this material does not convert into a spinel structure.

Properties and crystallization kinetics of poly(ether ether ketone)‐co‐poly(ether ether ketone ketone) block copolymers

A series of block copolymers composed of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and poly(ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK) components were prepared from their corresponding oligomers via a nucleophlilic aromatic substitution reaction. Various properties of the copolymers were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a tensile testing machine. The results show that the copolymers exhibited no phase separation and that the relationship between the glass‐transition temperature (T_g) and the compositions of the copolymers approximately followed the formula T_g = T_g1X₁ + T_g2X₂, where T_g1 and T_g2 are the glass‐transition‐temperature values of PEEK and PEEKK, respectively, and X₁ and X₂ are the corresponding molar fractions of the PEEK and PEEKK segments in the copolymers, respectively. These copolymers showed good tensile properties. The crystallization kinetics of the copolymers were studied. The Avrami equation was used to describe the isothermal crystallization process. The nonisothermal crystallization was described by modified Avrami analysis by Jeziorny and by a combination of the Avrami and Ozawa equations. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characterization of end‐functionalized styrene–butadiene–styrene copolymers and their application in modified asphalt

End amino, carboxylic acid, and hydroxyl functionalized styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) triblock copolymers were prepared with 1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, carbon dioxide, and epoxy ethane as capping agents, respectively. The effects of the end polar groups on the morphology and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy images suggested that the group at the end of the polystyrene (PS) segment made the morphology of the PS domains disordered and incompact. Dynamic mechanical results showed that the storage and loss modulus increased after SBS was end‐functionalized. End amino and carboxylic acid groups improved the compatibility and storage stability of SBS‐modified asphalt. However, the effect of the end‐hydroxyl group on the improvement of the storage stability of SBS‐modified asphalt was not obvious. The differential scanning calorimetry analysis of SBS‐modified asphalt further showed that the compatibility and storage stability of SBS‐modified asphalt were improved by the attachment of amino or carboxylic acid groups through the anionic polymerization method. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structure–property relationships of poly(urethane urea)s with ultra‐low monol content poly(propylene glycol) soft segments. I. Influence of soft segment molecular weight and hard segment content

Structure–property relationships in poly(urethane urea)s synthesized with ultra‐low monol content poly(propylene glycol) soft segments were investigated as soft segment molecular weight (2000, 4000, and 8000 g/mol) and hard segment content (6.3 and 9.0 wt %) were varied. Morphological features such as interdomain spacing and interphase thickness were quantified and revealed with small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The thermal and mechanical behavior was assessed with a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and stress‐strain tests. Hard segment content, over the limited range studied, had little effect on the morphology and soft segment thermal and mechanical properties. The molecular weight of the soft segments had considerably more influence on the morphology and mechanical properties. Increasing soft segment molecular weight resulted in greater interdomain spacings, as shown by SAXS, and a noticeable change in the structure, as shown by AFM. Additionally, as soft segment molecular weight decreased the soft segment glass transition broadened and rose to higher temperatures. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
