Dedicated to the electroplating industry, Alfa Chemistry recently announced its initiative to offer a complete line of pretreatment chemicals   for various application scenarios in electroplating. As the   coating process is employed to enhance the durability of materials like metal and plastic, electroplating has become a must   during the manufacture of consumer products ,   such as automobiles, functional materials ,   and outdoor equipment. Electroplating involves different  complexit ies  depending on the plating materials and base materials   that were chosen. “ Basically, a comprehensive and all-coverage pretreatment process is needed to perform to   substrate   surface s,   thus meet ing   certain requirements concerning to, e.g., roughness, activation, and level of cleanliness . All contaminants such as soil ,  dirt ,  stain, oxide film, grease, and oil on substrate s need to be removed to achieve  optim...

The past decade has witnessed the increasing   popularity of g raphene quantum dots (GQDs)  in many fields. As  novel fluorescent materials, GQDs   have received  considerable attention.  Earlier this month, the New York-based chemical company ,   Alfa Chemistry, released a series of graphene quantum dot modification  options  for its global clients.   GQD stands out among materials even without modification due to its  low cost, stable fluorescence, low toxicity ,  and good biocompatibility compared to   the traditional semiconductor quantum dot. Interestingly, upon modifi cation   utilizing  a wide range of techniques,  such as doping with heteroatoms, conjugation with conducting polymer s , or  incorporating various nanoparticles , GQDs  exhibit enhanced properties and demonstrate  better performance in many application scenarios. “ With an extensive  choice of design strateg ies,...

As an independent testing lab specialized in  t esting  various materials, T,C&A Lab  recently unveil ed  its electronic materials testing  capability, providing anal ytical  services for clients worldwide to  efficiently  identify products ’  durability, safety ,  and qualification. “ Having test ed  thousands of item s each year for multiple industries , we have accumulated abundant  resources,  both in terms of expertise and experience, which enables us to help design, formulate ,  and implement the most appropriate test ing  methods for nearly any electronic product, ”   said a senior scientist from T,C&A Lab. The primary purpose of electronic material testing is to navigate possible hindrances  that may exist and help eradicate  and solve  them. The most commonly detected problems for electronic components  include failure s , defect ivenes s, contamination s , delamination s...
