  • Publication number: 20230086920
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques for a dam structure on a substrate that is proximate to a die coupled with the substrate, where the dam decreases the risk of die shift during encapsulation material flow over the die during the manufacturing process. The dam structure may fully encircle the die. During encapsulation material flow, the dam structure creates a cavity that moderates the different flow rates of material that otherwise would exert different pressures the sides of the die and cause to die to shift its position on the substrate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 10413858
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide capture and release method of forming a MOF matrix material including at least one metal-organic-framework crystal that includes at least one metal ion or metal ion cluster coordinated to polydentate organic ligands. The method includes forming a positive moisture swing CO2 host by application of at least a portion of the MOF matrix material to at least a portion of a good, and exposing the good to a feed gas. The method also includes altering the absorption and desorption of CO2 in the CO2 host through a swing absorption/desorption process of moisture content, where an equilibrium pressure of CO2 over the CO2 host is based at least in part on the moisture content. The metal-organic-framework crystal can be UIO-66 including Zr6O4(OH)4(CO2)12 clusters linked by terephthalate acid ligands, and/or Zr6O4(OH)4(CO2)12 clusters linked by amino-terephthalic acid ligands, and/or Zr6O4(OH)4(CO2)12 clusters linked by nitro-terephthalic acid ligands.

  • Publication number: 20170145599
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of preparing polymer nanofiber composites using a cross-linkable polymer precursor solvated with a solvent, and forming a nanofiber precursor by mixing with a metal-organic-framework (MOF) crystal material that includes a metal ion coupled to at least one multidentate ligand. Further, the method can include forming a plurality of nanofibers by electro-spinning the nanofiber precursor, where at least a portion of the nanofibers includes a dispersion of the first MOF crystal material. The method can include crosslinking the plurality of nanofibers by irradiating the plurality of nanofibers with UV light, IR light, visible light, gamma radiation, and/or electro-beam radiation. Further, the method can include applying a second MOF crystal material between the cross-linked nanofibers and the first MOF material.
