Herein, a linear hydrogen cross-linker with a high hydrogen content was proposed in the study. The hydrogen-containing di-phenyl silicone oil (HDPSO) was fabricated by non-hydrolytic sol-gel reaction and ring-opening polymerization. After raw materials were mixed with vinyl base polymer, the cured sample showed ultra-high hardness (~ 92 shore D), refractive index (~ 1.542 at 633 nm), and transparency (~ 92.6% at 450 nm). After lighting for 168 h at room temperature, the samples showed no yellowing phenomenon and the lumen depreciation was only 4.9%. The samples demonstrated outstanding reliability compared to other commercialized silicone materials. The HDPSO is a promising cross-linker candidate for reliable high-performance LED encapsulantion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
