Synthesis and Physical Property of Multi-Functional Siloxane Protective Coating Materials Applicable for Electronic Components

Abstract

Four multialkoxy-functionalized siloxane base-polymers (BP-1~4) were synthesized through either hydrosilylation or condensation reactions in order to prepare multi-networked siloxane polymers having appropriate physical properties for protective coating in fabrications of electronics. Formulations of 4 base-polymers gave coating materials A and B. Product A showed well-controlled flowing and leveling properties, and product A-2 was successfully applied to protective insulating coating for junction areas of connectors and chips in PDP controller. Tack free time, extrusion rate, dielectric breakdown voltage, hardness, thermal stability, water resistance and flame resistance of products A and B were examined.

Fused deposition modeling-based additive manufacturing (3D printing): techniques for polymer material systems

“…Material resources remain a key aspect of manufacturing systems that contributes significantly to the output of a 3DP process; just as they would in other conventional and non-conventional manufacturing processes. They are critical for manufacturing process efficiency and effectiveness, and part/product functionality, eco-friendliness, and performance [26]. Considering these, there has been an increasing demand by industry to harness more functional and sustainable materials as candidates for future AM processes [27] [28].…”
