Stiction of surface micromachined structures after rinsing and drying: model and investigation of adhesion mechanisms [PDF]
, 1994 The mechanisms causing stiction of polysilicon structures fabricated by surface micromachining techniques have been investigated. It is found that during drying from rinse liquids attractive dynamic capillary forces are responsible for bringing ...

Recent progress towards the electrosynthesis of ammonia from sustainable resources [PDF]
, 2017 Ammonia (NH3) is a key commodity chemical of vital importance for fertilisers. It is made on an industrial scale via the Haber Bosch process, which requires significant infrastructure to be in place such that ammonia is generally made in large ...

Construction and testing of self-drilled soil nails [PDF]
, 2016 Current standards and best practice guidance recognise that testing of self-drilled hollow bar soil nails can be problematic as conventional packers and debonded lengths cannot be constructed.

Sacrificial Bonds and Hidden Length: Unraveling Molecular Mesostructures in Tough Materials [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 Sacrificial bonds and hidden length in structural molecules and composites have been found to greatly increase the fracture toughness of biomaterials by providing a reversible, molecular-scale energy-dissipation mechanism. This mechanism relies on the energy, of order 100 eV, needed to reduce entropy and increase enthalpy as molecular segments are ...

Sacrificial adhesive bonding: a powerful method for fabrication of glass microchips [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractA new protocol for fabrication of glass microchips is addressed in this research paper. Initially, the method involves the use of an uncured SU-8 intermediate to seal two glass slides irreversibly as in conventional adhesive bonding-based approaches. Subsequently, an additional step removes the adhesive layer from the channels. This step relies
