International Classification:

C08G 73/10

US Classification:

524107, 523212, 524111, 524113, 524356, 524359, 524361, 524362, 524363, 524364, 524366, 524375, 524379, 524384, 524430, 524538

Abstract:

Water absorption resistant polyimide pastes (or solutions), are particularly useful to make electronic screen printable pastes and the electronic components made from these pastes. A group of soluble polyimides and their solvents were discovered to be particularly resistant to moisture absorption. These polyimide solutions optionally contain polyimides also containing cross-linkable monomers and/or thermal cross-linking agents. In addition, these polyimide pastes may optionally contain adhesion promoting agents, blocked isocyanates, metals, metal oxides, and other inorganic fillers. The polyimide pastes (or solutions) of the present invention have a polyimide with a glass transition temperature greater than 250 C. , have a water absorption factor of less than 2%, and a have a positive solubility measurement.

Abstract:

Water absorption resistant polyimide/epoxy-based compositions, like pastes (or solutions), are particularly useful to make electronic screen-printable materials and electronic components. A group of hydrophobic epoxies (and soluble polyimides) was discovered to be particularly resistant to moisture absorption. The polyimide/epoxy pastes made with these epoxies (and these polyimides) may optionally contain thermal crosslinking agents, adhesion promoting agents, blocked isocyanates, and other inorganic fillers. The polyimide/epoxy pastes of the present invention can have a glass transition temperature greater than 250 C. , a water absorption factor of less than 2%, and a positive solubility measurement.
