    The formations of the voids in SAC305 lead free solder and SAC305 with additions of kaolin geopolymer ceramics were studied. The composite solders were fabricated by using powder metallurgy with microwave sintering method. The samples were sandwiched between two copper substrates and reflowed in a reflow oven and aged at 125°C for 0 and 7 days. The acoustic micro imaging was used to analyse the distributions of voids in the solder joints of SAC305 and SAC305 with additions of kaolin geopolymer ceramics. Results shows that, rhe void in SAC305 are larger in size and numbers as compared to SAC305 with additions of kaolin geopolymer ceramics for both reflowed and aged conditions.

    Nowadays, the consumption of lead-free solder has been widely used around the world since the utilization of SnPb solder has been banned and restricted by European Union. Variety of studies have been conducted by the researchers to find an alternative to replace the usage of SnPb such as SnCu, SAC, SnAg and etc. However, the development of plain lead-free solder was declared to provide low mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties in terms of interfacial intermetallic compound and wettability towards its solder joint compare to the traditionally monolithic SnPb solder alloy. Mostly, previous studies stated that addition of some additives such as ceramic particles (Si 3 N 4, TiO 2, SiC, NiO and etc) may improves the solder joint reliability. At the same time, no major studies were done using geopolymer ceramic as reinforcing agent in plain matrix alloy. Therefore, this paper reviews the fabrication process of multiple geopolymer-based ceramic such as fly ash, kaolin, and slag as reinforcement in solder alloy. The development process includes the processing method of geopolymer ceramic and the characterization of geopolymer ceramic as reinforcing material consist of; i) chemical composition, and ii) phase identification.

    The present investigation explores the influence of Ni and Bi on the solderability of Sn-0.7Cu solder coatings. The minor addition of 0.05 wt.% Ni into the Sn-0.7Cu solder alloy results in an improvement in the wettability based on dipping tests. The solderability investigation using a globule mode shows the influence of Ni and Bi on the interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC). The addition of Ni to a Sn-0.7Cu solder coating resulted in a (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 interfacial IMC, which enhanced the solderability performance during the globule test. With an increasing amount of Bi in the Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni-xBi solder ball, the surface energy of the solder alloy can be reduced, and this improves the solderability. The synchrotron micro-XRF results indicate that Ni is found in a relatively high concentration in the interfacial layer. Additionally, Bi was found to be homogenously distributed in the bulk solder, which improved solderability.

    TiO₂ sol was produced via the sol–gel method with different amounts of AgNO₃ as the source of Ag. The Ag/TiO₂ thin film was obtained by spin coating and was annealed at various annealing temperatures (300°C, 400°C and 500°C) for 1 h. The effect of different amounts of AgNO₃ and different annealing temperatures on the TiO₂ thin films was studied by characterising the phase composition, surface morphology and water contact angle. Results from the x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern show that with the addition of AgNO₃, Ag/TiO₂ can be formed at low annealing temperatures (300°C). At increased annealing temperatures (400°C and 500°C) and amounts of AgNO₃ (1.0 ml and 1.5 ml), Ag₂O and Ag₃O4 phases were observed. Flakes or flaky islands were formed on the thin film due to thermal expansion mismatch between the film and substrate, residual stress within the film or the release of volatile species when annealed at a low temperature of ⁓300°C. Increasing the temperature to 500°C resulted in the growth and coalescence of the flaky islands by the surface diffusion of adsorbed atoms (adatoms) and their annexation to the surface of existing nuclei. The water contact angle provides valuable insight into the surface interactions between water droplets and the surface of Ag/TiO₂ thin films. It was found that at 1.5 ml AgNO₃, the increased annealing temperature from 300°C to 500°C decreased the water contact angle of Ag/TiO₂ thin films from 83.86° to 34.62°, forming superhydrophilic properties, which indicated its excellent potential as a photocatalyst.

    A geopolymer has been reckoned as a rising technology with huge potential for application across the globe. Dolomite refers to a material that can be used raw in producing geopolymers. Nevertheless, dolomite has slow strength development due to its low reactivity as a geopolymer. In this study, dolomite/fly ash (DFA) geopolymer composites were produced with dolomite, fly ash, sodium hydroxide, and liquid sodium silicate. A compression test was carried out on DFA geopolymers to determine the strength of the composite, while a synchrotron Micro-Xray Fluorescence (Micro-XRF) test was performed to assess the elemental distribution in the geopolymer composite. The temperature applied in this study generated promising properties of DFA geopolymers, especially in strength, which displayed increments up to 74.48 MPa as the optimum value. Heat seemed to enhance the strength development of DFA geopolymer composites. The elemental distribution analysis revealed exceptional outcomes for the composites, particularly exposure up to 400 °C, which signified the homogeneity of the DFA composites. Temperatures exceeding 400 °C accelerated the strength development, thus increasing the strength of the DFA composites. This appears to be unique because the strength of ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and other geopolymers composed of other raw materials is typically either maintained or decreases due to increased heat.

    This paper elucidates the mechanical performance, microstructure, and porosity evolution of fly ash geopolymer after 10 years of curing age. Given their wide range of applications, understanding the microstructure of geopolymers is critical for their long-term use. The outcome of fly ash geopolymer on mechanical performance and microstructural characteristics was compared between 28 days of curing (FA28D) and after 10 years of curing age (FA10Y) at similar mixing designs. The results of this work reveal that the FA10Y has a beneficial effect on strength development and denser microstructure compared to FA28D. The total porosity of FA10Y was also lower than FA28D due to the anorthite formation resulting in the compacted matrix. After 10 years of curing age, the 3D pore distribution showed a considerable decrease in the range of 5–30 µm with the formation of isolated and intergranular holes.

    There have been experiments on TiO2 thin films synthesized utilizing sol-gel techniques. The sol-gel method is a straightforward technology that gives numerous benefits to the researcher, for instance, material's reliability, reproducibility, and controllability. Following from there, it can be utilized to make high-quality nano-structured thin films. According to previous studies, the TiO2 films' characteristics occur to be highly dependent on the production parameters and initial materials utilized. Controlling the formation of TiO2 thin films with the sol-gel method was momentarily discussed here.

    Ag/TiO₂ thin films were prepared using the sol-gel spin coating method. The microstructural growth behaviors of the prepared Ag/TiO₂ thin films were elucidated using real-time synchrotron radiation imaging, its structure was determined using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), its morphology was imaged using the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and its surface topography was examined using the atomic force microscope (AFM) in contact mode. The cubical shape was detected and identified as Ag, while the anatase, TiO₂ thin film resembled a porous ring-like structure. It was found that each ring that coalesced and formed channels occurred at a low annealing temperature of 280 °C. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) result revealed a small amount of Ag presence in the Ag/TiO₂ thin films. From the in-situ synchrotron radiation imaging, it was observed that as the annealing time increased, the growth of Ag/TiO₂ also increased in terms of area and the number of junctions. The growth rate of Ag/TiO₂ at 600 s was 47.26 µm2/s, and after 1200 s it decreased to 11.50 µm2/s and 11.55 µm2/s at 1800 s. Prolonged annealing will further decrease the growth rate to 5.94 µm2/s, 4.12 µm2/s and 4.86 µm2/s at 2400 s, 3000 s and 3600 s, respectively.
