Area Of Science
- Materials Science
- Polymer Chemistry
- Nanotechnology
Background
- Developing advanced conductive adhesives is crucial for modern electronics.
- Existing adhesives often lack recyclability or require harsh processing conditions.
Purpose Of The Study
- To create a near-infrared (NIR) weldable and recyclable conductive adhesive.
- To achieve high adhesion strength and electrical conductivity using liquid metal (LM) and polythioctic acid (pTA).
Main Methods
- Solvent-free integration of LM within a pTA matrix.
- Utilizing thiol/carboxyl-mediated binding for high LM loading.
- Leveraging LM-induced macrophase separation and pTA crystallization for enhanced properties.
Main Results
- Achieved 70 wt % LM loading with excellent adhesion strength (>1.8 MPa).
- Established isotropic conductive pathways (2.29 × 10^4 S m^-1) and NIR photothermal conversion.
- Demonstrated rapid NIR welding for electronics interconnection.
Conclusions
- The developed pTA/LM adhesive is NIR-responsive, weldable, and conductive.
- Dynamic disulfide bonds in pTA allow for closed-loop recycling of components.
- Presents an eco-friendly approach for sustainable microelectronics manufacturing.
