Physical and Mechanical Properties of ROP Sol-Gels

 

Polyorganosiloxane are noted for low glass transition temperatures (Tg) and large coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). The non-shrinking sol-gels can be engineered to have TG’s between -70 °C and 80 °C by varying the gel composition. The CTE can be engineered (without filler) to between 100-400 ppm. Furthermore, the gels are thermally stable to over 400 °C. Encapsulation of microelectronic test chips have shown no shrinkage or excellent adhesion over several years.
