RIGID URETHANE FOAM BASED ON METHYLALPHA-(D)-GLUCOSIDE AND E-CAPROLACTONE

Description: A study was made of resins based on methyl-alpha-(D)-glucoside. Foams prepared using this resin and a prepolymer based on polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate had excellent high temperature strength when tested At 400°F (301.1°C). Best results were obtained with methyl glucoside purchased as a 65-percent water solution containing 30 percent beta-methyl-glucoside.

ROUND-WIRE LAMINATED FLAT CIRCUITS

Description: Round-wire, laminated flat cables provide an additional manufacturing capability that is particularly suited for development applications and few-of-a-kind production. These laminated cables do not require the special tooling that is necessary for molded cables; therefore, cost and lead time are reduced. Layup, lamination, and contouring techniques were developed for complex cable configurations, including small-radius bends and multiple breakouts.

EFFECTS.OF BORIC ACID ON THE CURE OF BORON-FILLED Y-3602 SILICONE GUM

Description: The first two phases of a program designed to determine the effects of boric acid on the cure of Y-3602 silicone gum were conducted to evaluate extraction solvents and extraction time. The standard production formulation of B10-filled Y-3602 silicone gum was used in these evaluations. Results showed that the best solvent for reproducibility and high amine content was chloroform. The second phase indicated that extraction was essentially complete at the end of 4 hours.

ULTRASONIC WELDING OF ELECTRICAL TERMINATIONS

Description: Smooth weld tip and anvil surfaces are recommended; electrical discharge machining (EDM) surface finishes damage weld materials. Copper-to-aluminum samples showed no weld degradation following environmental tests. Materials must be of similar hardness to achieve high quality welds, and soft materials are sensitive to machine parameter changes.

MASS ANODIZATION OF TANTALUM-NITRIDE RESISTORS

Description: Mass anodization of tantalum-nitride films with sheet resistivities not exceeding 200 ohms per square to meet ±10-percent tolerance requirements on resistors above 100 ohms has been shown feasible. The anodization system that was developed for this study is capable of producing yields of approximately 80 percent under those conditiohs. Although anodization trimming on films with sheet resistivities as high as 600 ohms per square is now feasible, further work is necessary to successfully anodize… more

Evaluation of a High Temperature Syntactic Foam

Description: The mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of a glass microballoon-filled polybenzimidazole resin have been measured for test specimens molded by three manufacturing processes. The material, Imidite X386, has been shown to be a high strength, thermally stable structural foam.

AUTOMATIC RADAR-SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENT

Description: This work resulted in development of the necessary techniques to automatically measure radar receiver and system sensitivity. Both measurement speed and repeatability are improved over that possible by manual methods. Combined logic and analog techniques were used to derive a system suitable for both in-process and final-assembly tests on radar systems and rf subassemblies.

USE OF EN-7 TO ENCAPSULATE ANALYZER ASSEMBLIES

Description: The feasibility of using EN-7 as a substitute for Adiprene L100 curing agent for analyzer encapsulation was investigated. Since many analyzer assemblies cannot tolerate the usual EN-7 cure temperatures, this investigation was limited to a maximum cure temperatureof 710°C. The results of these tests indicate that a 20-hour cure at 490°C is adequate to provide sufficient hardness if followed by additional room-temperature cure.

A Rapid Tcr Test Method for Tantalum-Nitride Resistive Films

Description: Taking two resistance readings, at room temperature and at -196°C when the substrate is submerged in liquid nitrogen provides a convenient means of measuring the TCR of tantalum-nitride films. The liquid nitrogen provides a large, controlled temperature differential that can be used conveniently in the production environment. A digital-readout tester with only a simple nulling adjustment makes it possible to read the TCR of the film directly on the DVM indicator. This method provides the prompt… more

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT PROPERTIES OF POTTING MATERIALS

Description: The mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of a general purpose epoxy potting compound, filled with either glass microspheres or aluminum oxide and catalyzed with either diethanolamine or Epon Z are discussed. Twelve formulation-cure cycle combinations were chosen for evaluation. The temperature properties from -65 to 400°F (-54 to 204°C) of four of the combinations are given. Modulus versus temperature polynomials were calculated for the diethanolamine catalyzed material.

DEFECT DETECTION IN HIGH-DENSITY BRAIDED SHIELDS

Description: A radiographic image analyzer and a modified shielded-enclosure leak-detection system were successful in determining the cable shield coverage and the freedom from leakage necessary to prevent interference caused by electromagnetic radiation pickup on interconnecting cables. Other systems are being considered, and further evaluation and refinement are necessary to provide reliable methods for in-process manufacturing tests and product analysis.

MAXIMUM HUMIDITY INDICATOR

Description: Moisture-sensitive systems to measure and indicate the maximum level of humidity exposure are discussed. A chemical indicator utilizing deliquescent salts and water-soluble dyes provides an irreversible color change at discrete levels of relative humidity. To provide indication of the time at which the exposure occurs, a circuit employing a resistive-type sensor was developed. A small, commercially available sensor is used in a portable probe to detect humidity leaks into controlled areas.

PLATING ON POLYIMIDE

Description: Electroless coatings of nickel and copper from five electroless solutions were deposited on polyimide. Thicknesses approaching 90 microinches (2.3 micrometers) could be obtained but increasing the coating thickness beyond 90 microinches could only be achieved by electroplating. Four etching solutions for polyimides were investigated to determine their effect on the adhesion of the electroless coating to the polyimide.

EFFECTS OF VARYING FORMULATIONS OF THREE TDI POLYURETHANE FOAMS

Description: Studies were conducted on three TDI polyurethane foam materials to improve production yields of molded-to-size parts. The effects of changes in cell. stabilizers, emulsifiers, catalysts, and the blowing agent were investigated. To evaluate formulation modifications, tests were performed to determine compressive strength, foam reactivity, and free-rise density. Changes in the visual appearance were also documented. Silicone surfactants were found to be superior to organic emulsifiers. In additio… more
