Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to networks of polymers in fullerene compounds and polymers, to methods of preparing precursors for such networks, and to their subsequent use as low dielectric constant materials in microelectronic devices.
Abstract:
A compound comprising i) one or more dienophile groups (A-functional groups), ii) one or more ring structures comprising two conjugated carbon-to-carbon double bonds and a leaving group L (B-functional groups), and iii) one or more addition polymerizable, telechelic, or graftable functional groups, excluding groups capable of cycloaddition reactions with acetylenic- or conjugated diene functionality (C′-functional groups), characterized in that the A-functional group of one monomer is capable of reaction under cycloaddition reaction conditions with the B-functional group of a second monomer to thereby form a polymer.
Abstract:
A method of producing a nanoporous silica dielectric film having improved mechanical strength. A composition is formed which comprises in admixture a porogen, a solvent, a catalyst and a combination of silicon containing pre-polymers.
Abstract:
Tissue-compatible polymer composites characterized by a co-continuous, integrated multi-phase, three-dimensional microstructured network of two or more immiscible biocompatible polymers.
Abstract:
Production of a porous layer includes using a composition which includes a first polymer component and a second polymer component, the first polymer component being polyhydroxyamide and/or polybenzoxazole and stable at a temperature at which the second polymer component decomposes and volatilizes. If the composition is heated to the decomposition temperature of the second polymer component, the second component volatilizes and a porous layer that contains the first component remains.
Abstract:
A method of producing silicone foam includes the step of adding a mechanical foaming agent to uncured silicone. The mechanical foaming agent is a plurality of solid bodies insoluble in the silicone. The method also includes the steps of curing the silicone and removing the mechanical foaming agent as intact solid bodies from the silicone thereby providing a silicone foam.

Abstract:
A composition has a polymeric network that includes a porogen and a photoinitiator. The photoinitiator produces a reactive species upon irradiation, which reacts with the porogen in a degradation reaction that degrades at least some of the porogen. A method of forming a nanoporous polymer has one step in which a plurality of polymeric strands, a photoinitiator, and a porogen are provided. In a subsequent step, at least some of the polymeric strands are crosslinked to form a polymeric network that includes the porogen and the photoinitiator, and in a further step the photoinitiator in the polymeric network is irradiated to generate a reactive species that reacts with the porogen in a degradation reaction to degrade at least some of the porogen.
