Sodium Metasilicate-Based Inorganic Composite for Heterogeneous Integration of Microsystems

Morphological and mechanical studies of Al2O3–Na2SiO3 as a skin barrier coated with TiO2 for carbon fiber reinforced composite materials

“…Evaporation of the water of crystallization causes liquid sodium silicate, the water content of which has been evaporated, to solidify, followed by conversion to sodium metasilicate, which can be obtained at an optimum temperature of about 360-400 °C. 36,37 The process of reducing the mass produced during the decomposition process produces a solid crystalline structure of sodium metasilicate due to the loss of water vapor content, both physically and chemically bound, to produce new pores that play a role in the heat insulation process. Aer the SB100/3 specimen reached a temperature of 470 °C, there was no signicant weight loss, so it can be concluded that the thermal stability of SB100/3 is 470 °C.…”

Low-Temperature Additive Manufacturing of Silica Glass Composites

“…Sodium silicate solutions, also known as waterglass, have been used as an inorganic binder for a number of adhesives, sealants, and electronic packaging technologies . Previously, we have demonstrated the ability to form glass composites using sodium silicate chemistry as an electronic packaging material for heterogeneous integration . Building on this work, we hypothesized that, by tuning the rheology of our material system, we could generate materials that could be printed using DIW.…”

“…29 Previously, we have demonstrated the ability to form glass composites using sodium silicate chemistry as an electronic packaging material for heterogeneous integration. 30 Building on this work, we hypothesized that, by tuning the rheology of our material system, we could generate materials that could be printed using DIW. As shown in Figure 1a, the inks consisted of four components: a sodium silicate solution, filler nanoparticles, functional additives, and fumed nanoparticles.…”
