A complete methodology combining experiments and modeling has been developed to investigate the constrained sintering of low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) systems. The thermomechanical and sintering behavior laws, previously identified for the selected commercial LTCC material, were implemented in a finite element model. The reliability and validity range of the built model has been investigated thanks to the development of a specific distortion experience. The distortion generated during the constrained sintering of a porous LTCC layer deposited on a dense one has been monitored in situ by ombroscopy. The measured camber evolution was compared with numerical results. The camber phenomena predicted numerically and observed experimentally are very similar, characterized by the onset of distortion around 918 K and a similar evolution during heating. However, at high temperatures (around 1100 K), the simulated camber slightly differs from the experimental one. It seems to be related to the damage to the dense LTCC layer by microcracking.

Key Laboratory of Precision and Intelligent Chemistry, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, 230026, China.

Micron-sized Si anodes garner renewed attention due to their advantages of low cost, small specific surface area, and high energy density. However, micron-sized Si anodes undergo significant volume changes during lithiation/delithiation, leading to particle cracking and pulverization. This study employs the tape casting method and ultrafast high-temperature sintering technology to construct a porous sheet, within which a solid framework constrains the Si particles.

Surface Self-Diffusion Induced Sintering of Nanoparticles.

Materials Science and Engineering Program and Department of Mechanical Engineering, State University of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, New York 13902, United States.

Despite the critical role of sintering phenomena in constraining the long-term durability of nanosized particles, a clear understanding of nanoparticle sintering has remained elusive due to the challenges in atomically tracking the neck initiation and discerning different mechanisms. Through the integration of in situ transmission electron microscopy and atomistic modeling, this study uncovers the atomic dynamics governing the neck initiation of Pt-Fe nanoparticles via a surface self-diffusion process, allowing for coalescence without significant particle movement. Real-time imaging reveals that thermally activated surface morphology changes in individual nanoparticles induce significant surface self-diffusion.

The sintering mold imposes strict requirements for temperature uniformity. The mold geometric parameters and the power configuration of heating elements exert substantial influence. In this paper, we introduce an optimization approach that combines response surface models with the sequential quadratic programming algorithm to optimize the geometric parameters and heating power configuration of a heating system for sintering mold.
