Electrically conductive adhesives (ECA) are discussed and studied with everincreasing interest as an environmentally friendly alternative to solder interconnection in microelectronics circuit packaging. They are used to attach surface mount devices (SMD), Integrated Circuits (IC) and Flip chips in electronic assembly. The use of ECAs brings some benefits like flexibility, mild processing conditions and process simplicity. Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are used instead of metal fillers because of their novel properties such as light weight, high aspect ratio, corrosion resistant, reduced processing temperature, lead free, good electrical conduction and mechanical strength. The purpose of the present work is to investigate the aging behavior of MWCNT filled adhesives based on anhydride cured epoxy systems and their dependence on loading. Composites with different loadings of MWNT in epoxy and epoxy: heloxy are prepared and then stencil printed onto different surface finished boards like gold, silver and tin to prepare contact resistance samples and onto aluminum oxide boards to prepare volume resistivity samples. These samples are kept at room temperature for about 90 days and then placed in a temperature chamber to observe the behavior of these samples after accelerated aging. The readings are taken for as prepared samples, after 45 days, after 90 days and after accelerated aging. The results are summarized and different trends are observed for different loadings of MWNT, different combinations of epoxy: heloxy and for different surface finished boards.

This diploma thesis deals with the design of a small temperature test chamber. The first chapter is a study of temperature sensors suitable for realization of temperature chambers. The conclusion of this chapter is devoted to digital temperature sensor DS18B20. The second chapter deals with the principles and basic parameters of Peltier cells. In the third chapter design of individual electronic components of the temperature chamber is realized (circuit diagrams and PCBs), including a description of basic features of the microcontroller firmware. The fourth chapter is devoted to a description of the basic properties of the application software and a description of the communication protocol. The last two chapters deal with the construction of the temperature chamber and the results of final functional test.

This thesis deals with control of a specific climate chamber used for various climate tests. Therefore its elaboration starts with the identification of properties of this climate chamber and basic design of its control. This is followed by measuring the temperature distribution in its internal space in order to verify the usability of this climate chamber. The thesis also does not omit a description of the communication options between climate chamber and application for control of climate tests. The next part of this thesis concerns the design and implementation of the application for control of climate tests itself. On its output is a report of the performed climate test. In the end this thesis contains the description of program testing in the real operation of the company and other possible improvements of the implemented program.

This document deals with issues of testing semiconductor inertial sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers, but also other sensors like magnetometers, inclinometers and others for aviation navigation purposes where strict requirements cover every system. The goal of this thesis is to create modular test platform for testing wide variety of sensors in different combinations under variable circumstances. The development covers mechanical design, electrical design – hardware and also control algorithm – software.
