LOCAL MULTIPHYSICS STUDIES OF EPOXY NANOCOMPOSITES FOR ELECTRONICS PACKAGING
Abstract
The objective of the proposed research is to determine the local mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of an epoxy-based electrically conductive nanocomposite, developed at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) for rugged electronics packaging, which is comprised of a cross-linked epoxy matrix in rubbery state and electrically conducting nanofibers. Large matrix deformations can undermine local electrical percolation and thermal transport; local measurements via Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) will shed light into this issue and help validate computational models. The proposed research will be carried out in three Tasks.Nano-engineered, multifunctional, compliant epoxy-based composites could have a transforming potential in the way microelectronics are designed and fabricated; an early investigation of the multiphysics properties of the epoxy-based conductive nanocomposites developed at WPAFB can provide invaluable information to the on-going design, synthesis and modeling effort.
