World film locations
Though the creative community of Reykjavík, Iceland, has earned a well-deserved reputation for its unique artistic output – most notably the popular music that has emerged from the city since the 1980s – Reykjavík's filmmakers have received less attention than they merit. World Film Locations: Reykjavík corrects this imbalance, shedding new light on the role of cinema in a country that, partly because of its small population, produces more films per capita than any other in the world. The contributors to this volume trace cinema in Iceland from the 1979 establishment of the Icelandic Film Fund – before which the country's film industry barely existed – through to today. In a series of illuminating scene reviews, they show how rapidly the city has changed over the past thirty years. In thematic spotlight articles, they go on to explore such topics as the relationship between Iceland and its capital city; youth culture and night life; the relationship between film and the local music community; cinematic representations of Scandinavian crime; and filmmakers' response to the 2008 banking crisis. Together, these varied contributions show how films shot in Reykjavík have been shaped both by Iceland's remoteness from the rest of the world and by Icelandic filmmakers' sense that the city remains forever on the brink of desolate and harsh wilderness.

In-situ cleaning and passivation of oxidized Cu surfaces by alkanethiols and its application to wire bonding
The treatment of oxidized Cu surfaces using an alkanethiol as a reducing agent has been investigated. Exposure to a dilute solution of 1-decanethiol resulted in the complete removal and/or conversion of CuO and subsequent formation of a passivating thiolate film, a so-called self-assembled monolayer (SAM), on the underlying Cu/Cu^sub 2^O surface as evidenced by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Morphological changes, monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), revealed transformation of the rough, porous CuO layer into a comparatively smooth Cu/Cu^sub 2^O surface. Experiments performed on integrated circuit back-end-of-line (BEOL) die structures, comprising Cu/SiO^sub 2^ bond pads used as substrates for Cu wire bonding, demonstrate the potential application of a thiol-based in-situ cleaning-passivation procedure in microelectronics.

Size Shrinkage of Methacrylate-based Terpolymer Latexes Synthesized by Free Radical Polymerization : Kinetics and Influence of Main Reaction Parameters
Monodisperse PMMA-based terpolymer particles were synthesized by surfactant-free free radical emulsion polymerization. Particles with a wide and controllable range of size and polymer content were prepared by varying monomer amount, reaction temperature and initiator concentration. A kinetic study of the evolution of the terpolymer colloid composition and morphology reveals a mechanism of fast homogeneous nucleation. Copolymerization of the three monomers yields particles whose composition changes continuously during the reaction, which impacts polymer properties. Temperature and monomer amount are key parameters, particularly in the nucleation and growth stages of the reaction. A linear relationship between the particle size and reaction temperature is observed. This is attributed to the fact that the concentration of small, nucleated primary particles with high surface area, initiated at higher temperatures, is too large for efficient stabilization and hence they are more prone to aggregation. The linear relationship between the volume of the colloids and the ratio of main monomer to water in the reaction batch is due to the growth of the particles that continues while there is MMA available. The initiator concentration is not significant in terms of size and concentration of methacrylate-based colloids since primary particles are formed very early during polymerization and they are not dependent on the number of growing chains. The resulting “tailor-made” latexes are promising for a number of unique biotechnological and IC manufacturing applications.
