Improvement in the mechanical properties of eutectic Sn58Bi alloy by 0.5 and 1 wt.% Zn addition before and after thermal aging

Article

Jun 2018

A comparative analysis of the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the eutectic Sn58Bi, 0.5 wt% and 1 wt% zinc (Zn)-functionalized Sn58Bi alloys was conducted before and after solid-state thermal aging. Cross-sectional microstructure observation and tensile tests were performed on bulk solder alloys. The fracture surfaces were observed a...

Phase-Separable Polyisobutylene Palladium-PEPPSI Precatalysts: Synthesis and Application in Buchwald– Hartwig Amination

Article

Full-text available

Jun 2017

This paper reports the efficient synthesis of the first class of polyisobutylene(PIB)-supported palladium-PEPPSI precatalyst (PEPPSI = pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation, stabilization, and initiation). The new complexes are employed in Buchwald–Hartwig amination of aryl chlorides and are found to be reasonably active in the titled cross-cou...
