Fabric it is not an impermeable substrate because of fiber porosity. To study the solvent diffusion mechanism of coated fabric in the curing process, the drying model of PMMA/acetone coated glass fiber fabric was established. This drying model was verified by confocal Raman spectroscopy. Finally, the impact of fabric structure, thickness and porosity on the solvent diffusion process in coated fabrics was studied by the model. It was shown that the predicted solvent concentrations by the model were consistent with the experimental values. This model can be used to quantitatively calculate the solvent concentration at any position and at any time inside the coating film during the drying process. Moreover, it can also predict the curing time and residual solvent concentration of the coating fabric required to reach drying equilibrium. Compared with coated 3/1 twill, 5/3 satin and 2/1 twill, the solvent diffusion of coated plain fabric was faster during curing. Under the same environmental conditions, the thinner the fabric was and the greater the porosity was, the shorter the curing time was. The fitting equations for fabric thickness, fabric porosity and drying time were obtained, which can provide a theoretical guidance for the preparation, performance research and drying conditions optimization of PMMA coated textile materials.

Underfilling is the vital process to reduce the impact of the thermal stress that results from the mismatch in the co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the silicon chip and the substrate in Flip Chip Packaging. This paper reported the pattern of underfill’s hardness during curing process for large die Ceramic Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FC-CBGA). A commercial amine based underfill epoxy was dispensed into HiCTE FC-CBGA and cured in curing oven under a new method of two-step curing profile. Nano-identation test was employed to investigate the hardness of underfill epoxy during curing steps. The result has shown the almost similar hardness of fillet area and centre of the package after cured which presented uniformity of curing states. The total curing time/cycle in production was potentially reduced due to no significant different of hardness after 60 min and 120 min during the period of second hold temperature.

Void content within the adhesive layer dispensed over the connector module in neuromodulation devices is critical. Voids can affect the thermal transfer, bond strength, and stress decoupling of the adhesive, which can eventually lead to degraded device reliability. The effects of voids are investigated for a silicone based adhesive used in these medical devices. There are many challenges associated with the curing process that this adhesive undergoes which drive the need for unique and specific testing to determine optimal process settings. The parameters evaluated included curing time, temperature, thickness, and relative humidity. Reduction in void content was linked with mechanical properties including hardness and tensile strength. Achievement of void free medical adhesives will encourage today's microelectronic packaging industry to meet the challenges of smaller and denser medical devices.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is increasingly being utilized in the dental field. After fabricating a prosthesis using a 3D printed resin, a post-curing process is required to improve its mechanical properties, but there has been insufficient research on the optimal post-curing conditions. We used various 3D printed crown and bridge materials in this study, and evaluated the changes in their properties according to post-curing time by evaluating the flexural strength, Weibull modulus, Vickers hardness, color change, degree of conversion, and biocompatibility. The obtained results confirmed that the strength of the 3D printed resin increased when it was post-cured for 60–90 min. The Vickers hardness, the degree of conversion, and biocompatibility of the 3D printed resins increased significantly around the beginning of the post-curing time, and then increased more gradually as the post-curing time increased further. It was observed that the color tone also changed as the post-curing time increased, with some groups showing a ΔE00 value of ≥ 2.25, which can be recognized clinically. This study has confirmed that, after the printing process of a 3D printed resin was completed, a sufficient post-curing time of at least 60 min is required to improve the overall clinical performance of the produced material.
