Tensile characterization and constitutive modeling of sintered nano-silver particles over a range of strain rates and temperatures

Sintered nano-silver die-attach materials have been widely used in high-power electronics packaging because of their high thermal and electrical conductivities. In this study, we characterized the tensile properties of sintered nano-silver particles over a range of strain rates and temperatures, and established the constitutive models. First, 50...

Adaptive bidirectional extracellular electron transfer during accelerated microbiologically influenced corrosion of stainless steel

Microbiologically influenced corrosion of metals is prevalent in both natural and industrial environments, causing enormous structural damage and economic loss. Exactly how microbes influence corrosion remains controversial. Here, we show that the pitting corrosion of stainless steel is accelerated in the presence of Shewanella oneidensis MR...
