SBIR Phase I: Development of New Photochemically Activated Binder Used in the Production of Novel Capacitors

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将提供一个平台，以评估辐射的新应用，以影响无机微组件批量生产中的瞬时化学反应。这项工作的重点将是消除目前使用的水基涂层工艺中固有的团聚和其他工艺故障。拟议的工作将开发一个具体的和商业动机的兴趣，在材料中使用的高效生产等离子体球体TM。等离子体球是充当电容器的中空气体填充的电介质球。等离子体显示器阵列将作为一种低成本的大面积平板显示技术而发展。正在研究的等离子体阵列的其他新应用包括相控阵天线和辐射检测。这三个市场都是新兴的高增长市场。整个等离子体球阵列的生产过程是环境友好的。它使用最少的材料，并消除有害材料，包括铅，这是常用的电子制造。其他优点包括更长的寿命，更小的外形尺寸和更大比例的可生物降解材料。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will provide the platform to evaluate a novel application of radiation to affect an instantaneous chemical reaction in the bulk production of inorganic micro-components. The focus of this effort will be on eliminating agglomeration and other process malfunctions inherent in the water based coating process currently in use. The proposed work will develop a specific and commercially motivated interest in material for use in the efficient production of Plasma-spheresTM. Plasmaspheres are hollow gas filled dielectric spheres that act as capacitors. Plasmasphere arrays will be developed as a low-cost large-area flat panel display technology. Other novel applications of Plasmasphere arrays under investigation include phase array antennas and radiation detection. All three markets are emerging high-growth markets. The entire Plasma-sphere array production process is environmentally benign. It uses a minimum of materials, and eliminates harmful materials including lead, which is commonly used in the manufacture of electronics. Other advantages include longer life, smaller form factor, and a greater percentage of biodegradable materials.
