Bonding Process of Copper Foam-Silver Composite and Performance Characterization of the Joint

As a key heat-dissipating and electrical interconnecting component in high-temperature power modules, die-attach and substrate-attach layers play an important role in effectively reducing the thermal resistance and improving the long-term reliability. Traditional substrate-attach materials limit the high-temperature applications of packaging...

Surface Modification of Steel Slag Aggregate for Engineering Application in Asphalt Mixture

The proper disposal of steel slag has always been a great challenge for the metallurgical industry in China and around the world. In this work, the steel slag aggregate (SSA) was surface pretreated (PSSA) and applied into asphalt mixture. The adhesive behavior between the bitumen and five different types of aggregates (i.e., limestone, diorite,...

Lake seasonality across the Tibetan Plateau and their varying relationship with regional mass changes and local hydrology

The recent growth and deepening of inland lakes in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) may be a salient indicator of the consequences of climate change. The seasonal dynamics of these lakes is poorly understood despite this being potentially crucial for disentangling contributions from glacier melt and precipitation, which are all sensitive to climate,...
