Abstract:
The invention is based on the discovery that modified calcium carbonates can be used as fillers for the preparation of non-abrasive adhesive formulations that are useful in microelectronic applications. The modified calcium carbonate fillers possess functional groups, which form strong bonds to the thermoset matrix. Invention compositions display excellent rheological properties, in addition to a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Abstract:
The invention is based on the discovery that compositions containing certain maleimide compounds and aromatic diene compounds are useful as thermosetting resins for the electronic packaging industry. The invention compositions described herein can be cured in a variety of ways, with or without a catalyst. In some embodiments, the well-known “ene” reaction can be used to cure the compositions described herein, and therefore no catalyst is required.
Abstract:
The invention is based on the discovery that certain crosslinkable functional groups can be incorporated into olefin oligomers, thereby making these functionalized olefin oligomers useful as thermosetting resin compositions. In particular, there are provided olefin oligomers containing pendant maleimide groups. These materials are readily prepared via cationic co-polymerization of cationically polymerizable olefin monomers and maleimide monomers containing a cationically polymerizable functional group.
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel thermosetting resin compositions which do not require solvent to provide a system having suitable viscosity for convenient handling. Invention compositions have the benefit of undergoing rapid cure. The resulting thermosets are stable to elevated temperatures, are highly flexible, have low moisture uptake and are consequently useful in a variety of applications, e.g., in adhesive applications since they display good adhesion to both the substrate and the device attached thereto.
Abstract:
The present invention is based on the discovery that maleimide-substituted polyhedralsilsesquioxane compounds are useful as components in photosensistive resin compositions. These compounds can be readily prepared from available precursors, and are easily incorporated into resin compositions by appropriate formulating conditions. The incorporation of a variety of polyhedralsilsesquioxane frameworks into a photosensitive resin composition is readily accomplished via the crosslinkable maleimide moiety, which crosslinks under a variety of conditions (e.g., chemically and radiatively). Indeed, the compounds described herein contain at least one maleimide moiety attached to a polyhedralsilsesquioxane framework.
Abstract:
The invention is based on the discovery that certain functionalized urethane compounds are useful as thermosetting resins for the electronic packaging industry. The functionalized urethane compounds described herein can be cured in a variety of ways, depending on the polymerizable moiety present in the urethane compound. In addition, the functionalized urethane compounds described herein exhibit increased thermal stability relative to known urethane compounds. The functionalized urethane compounds are readily prepared by contacting a hydroxyl-bearing compound with an isocyanate, thereby resulting in a functionalized urethane compound. In addition, the methods described herein for preparing invention urethane compounds are environmentally friendly, requiring no solvent or catalyst.
