US Classification:

726 34, 427 58

Abstract:

A method and circuit for implementing data theft prevention, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A polymeric resin containing microcapsules surrounds a security card. Each microcapsule contains a conductive material.

US Classification:

174546, 556405

Abstract:

A conformal coating comprising modified porous silica particles is disclosed. A porous silica particle, such as MCM-14 or SBA-15 is modified with a sulfur gettering functionality, such as a phosphine compound, covalently bonded to silicon atoms in the porous silica particle. The conformal coating comprising the modified porous silica particles may be applied to metallic wiring areas of a circuit component, with the sulfur gettering functionality preventing sulfur from atmospheric gasses from penetrating the conformal coating to the metallic wiring.

Abstract:

A material may include a medium and carbon nanotubes dispersed in the medium. Fluorescent moieties may be attached to functional groups on a first quantity of the carbon nanotubes. The fluorescent moieties may be in a concentration in the material sufficient to make the material fluoresce in the presence of radiation. The fluorescent moieties may have an emission wavelength that is in or below the visible spectrum. The carbon nanotubes may be dispersed in the medium in a concentration sufficient to make the material electrically conductive at or above the material's electrical percolation threshold. Any suitable product may include the material. Methods for verifying the authenticity of the product may include detecting emissive radiation, testing electrical conductivity, and determining the presence of a structural characteristic of the carbon nanotubes.

US Classification:

523202, 524507

Abstract:

A self-healing capsule may contain a self-healing agent, a polymer shell encapsulating the self-healing agent, and at least one functional group orthogonal to the surface of the polymer shell. This self-healing capsule may be covalently bonded into a polymeric material by the orthogonal functional group. The self-healing capsules may be formed through microencapsulation.

US Classification:

428447, 427302

Abstract:

A thermal interface material (TIM) includes a modified release layer having an organosilane-coated surface covalently bound to a TIM formulation layer. The modified release layer may be formed by applying an organosilane (e.g., vinyltriethoxysilane) to the surface of a thermally conductive release layer (e.g., aluminum foil). The organosilane reacts with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the thermally conductive release layer. The TIM formulation layer may be formed by applying a TIM formulation (e.g., a graphite TIM formulation) containing an unsaturated monomer (e.g., methyl acrylate) to the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer, and then curing the TIM formulation so that the unsaturated monomer of the TIM formulation reacts with the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer.
