Abstract:
Silicone release agents comprising propenyl-ether functionalized silicones exhibit a rapid cationic induce photo-cure. Such propenyl-ether functionalized silicones are synthesized by the hydrosilation of various .alpha.-allyloxy-.omega.-(1-propenoxy) alkanes with various linear and cyclic hydrogen functional siloxanes.
Abstract:
A method for making a triarylsulfonium hexafluoro metal or metalloid salt is provided by effecting reaction between a diarylsulfoxide and an aromatic substrate, such as an arylalkylether in the presence of a solution of phosphorus pentoxide and methanesulfonic acid to produce a triarylsulfonium complex. A metathesis of the resulting triarylsulfonium complex is effected with an alkali metal hexafluoro metal or metalloid salt.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a positive photoresist substrate composite is provided which can be used in the presence or absence of atmospheric moisture. There is used a major amount of a commercially available resin, such as a novolak, a dissolution inhibitor with thermally labile t-butyl ether or ester groups, and an aryl onium salt.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses the use of certain silicon hydrides having at least two hydrogen atoms attached to silicon in particular heat curable platinum catalyzed silicone coating formulations, which permits the use of a reduced level of inhibitor and improved cure performance.
Abstract:
Bisphenols containing free-radical generating groups, such as bissilylpinacolate groups, are provided. These bisphenols can be used to make free-radical generating polycarbonate macroinitiators having thermally labile groups which can be heated with vinyl monomers, such as styrene to make polycarbonate block copolymers.
Abstract:
There is provided a curable composition, comprising:A. a heterocyclic compound selected from the group consisting of epoxy-functional silicones, epoxy-functional acrylic polymers, and monomers selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofurans, oxetanes, lactones, spirocarbonates, spiroesters, cyclic sulfur and cyclic nitrogen compounds;B. an Si-H functional silicon compound; andC. a platinum catalyst.There is further provided a method for polymerizing a heterocyclic compound using a platinum catalyst.
Abstract:
A heat curable composition is provided which is useful for encapsulating microelectronic devices using a heat curable epoxy composition having a diaryliodonium hexafluoroantimonate salt as a catalyst in combination with an effective amount of a free radical generating aromatic compound as a cocatalyst.
Abstract:
A one pot method is provided for preparing an (octyloxyphenyl) phenyliodonium tosylate and the corresponding hexafluorometalloid salt. n-Octylphenyl ether is initially prepared using a halooctane and phenol in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst followed by the addition of iodobenzene, a peracid, and p-toluene sulfonic acid. The resulting (octyloxyphenyl)phenyl iodonium tosylate can be directly metathesized after an optional treatment step with an alkali metal hexafluoroantimonate salt. The (octyloxyphenyl)phenyl iodonium hexafluorometalloid salt can be used as a photoinitiator for UV curable organic materials such as epoxy resins.
Abstract:
A method is provided for making cyclic poly(siloxane) by incrementally contacting linear polysilxoane with a fixed bed cracking catalyst, such as an acidic Zeolite under reduced pressure. The resulting volatile cyclic poly(siloxane) is then recovered.
Abstract:
A method is provided for coating a substrate with a non-toxic irradiation curable epoxy resin composition. There is used an alkoxy-substituted aryl onium salt, in combination with a non-toxic oxirane-containing organic or silicone resin.
