U.S.-Chile Cooperative Research Program: Passivation of Copper for High Performance Electronics

0104611这个美国-智利项目奖项为宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Thomas R.Shrout博士和智利圣地亚哥智利大学的Mauricio E.Pilleux博士之间的合作研究提供了支持，他们开展的研究涉及在设计多层电陶瓷材料时使用铜粉来取代贵金属。合作将把智利大学在表面物理和薄膜介电方面的专业知识与宾夕法尼亚州立大学材料研究实验室的研究人员在电子陶瓷方面的专业知识结合起来。介电陶瓷层具有广泛的工业应用，包括致动器、传感器、超声波换能器、电压互感器和介质电容器。这项研究可能会在多层陶瓷的制造中有重要的应用。

0104611ShroutThis U.S.- Chile Program award provides support for cooperative research between Dr. Thomas R. Shrout of Penn State University and Dr. Mauricio E. Pilleux of Universidad de Chile in Santiago, Chile, to carry out research involving the use of copper powder to replace noble metals in designing multi-layer electroceramic materials.The collaboration will combine the expertise in surface physics and thin film dielectrics at the Universidad de Chile with the expertise in electronic ceramics of researchers at the Materials Research Laboratory at Penn State. Layers of dielectric ceramics have a wide variety of industrial applications, including actuators, sensors, ultrasonic transducers, voltage transformers, and dielectric capacitors. This research may lead to important applications in the manufacture of multi-layer ceramics.
