Description
Over the past two years a variety of topics in advanced materials and tools for instrumentation have been under study at LBNL. This talk will present results on thermally enhanced polymers and laminates, low mass foams, air cooling, and precision metrology for inspection and defect location. A broad survey of filler materials has been conducted, a protocol for thermal measurement developed, and outstanding performance has been observed for certain additives. Practical application in laminates has been studied. Carbon foams with low density and high conductivity have been known for some time. A new hollow ligand foam has been studied and evaluated for an air flow cooling application. Precision microscopy using line scan cameras and confocal scanners has been applied to a variety of 2D and 3D inspection applications.
