Uniaxial ratcheting behavior of hygrothermal aging anisotropic conductive adhesive film

Abstract A series of uniaxial ratcheting experiments on anisotropic conductive adhesive film (ACF) were conducted under stress-control at elevated temperature using a DMA-Q800. The ratcheting behavior of ACF specimens with different hygrothermal aging times was investigated at room temperature and 120 °C. The effects of loading rate, mean stress and stress amplitude on the ratcheting behavior of unaged and aged specimens were compared. The results show that the ratcheting strains of aged specimens are smaller than those of unaged specimens under the same experimental conditions. The cycling stability of aged specimens is increased by hygrothermal aging. At room temperature, with the increase of aging time, the ratcheting strains of aged specimens increase with hygrothermal aging time when it is less than or equal to 96 h but, however, decrease when it exceeds 96 h. At 120 °C the ratcheting strains of ACF only decrease with the increase of hygrothermal aging time. Additionally, the effects of loading rate, mean stress and stress amplitude on the ratcheting behavior of unaged and aged ACF are different and their effects are weakened by hygrothermal aging.
