  • Patent number: 11516911
    Abstract: A glass circuit board includes, on a glass substrate, a stress relief layer, a seed layer, and an electroplated layer including copper plating. The stress relief layer is an insulator formed by dry coating method and applies a compressive residual stress to the glass substrate at room temperature. The stress relief layer thus reduces cracking, fracturing or warpage of the glass substrate caused by thermal expansion and shrinkage of the copper plating due to heating and cooling of the glass circuit board during manufacturing or thermal cycling, ensuring high connection reliability of the glass circuit board.

  • Patent number: 11491469
    Abstract: A high surface area to mass catalyst is formed by a method that includes a Kirigami mapped cutting of a flat three metal laminate composite formed on a deposition support. Kirigami derived catalyst has a shape that provides a high surface to mass ratio and promotes the flow of a fluid containing a reagent for a reaction catalyzed by the exterior metal catalyst films of the three metal laminate composite. Structural integrity of the Kirigami derived catalyst results from a support metal film residing between two metal catalyst films. The shaping to the Kirigami derived structure involves cutting the flat three metal laminate composite to that of a Kirigami map, imposing stress on the cut structure to force a non-planar deformation, and delaminating the Kirigami derived catalyst from the deposition support.
