Organometallic Catalysts

New Tin- and Mercury-Free Organometallic Catalysts for CASE Urethane Applications

New catalysts offer performance characteristics in multiple applications.
Bing Hsieh Ravi Ravichandran Robert Coughlin John Florio
Isocyanates react with compounds that have active hydrogens. For example, in coating applications, isocyanates are typically reacted with polyols to form polyurethanes, or with primary and secondary amines to form polyureas. Catalysis of the polyol/isocyanate reaction, which is often required to develop sufficient cure response, can be achieved with a variety of compounds.

Nondestructive Inspection for Heat Sink Efficiency

Acoustic micro-imaging tools produce acoustic images of internal features, including gaps, in electronic components.
Tom Adams
Electronic components that contain a die require a path by which excess heat can be removed from the component package. In low-voltage plastic-encapsulated microcircuits, the heat may simply travel by conduction through the die attach and the die paddle for dissipation through the bottom of the package.
