Low temperature curable soft conductive resin that maintains conductivity even when stretched

In recent years, electronic devices and sensors have become more flexible, and the use of non-heat resistant materials such as resin is increasing. Therefore, the conductive resin used is also required to have low temperature curability of 100°C or less. In addition, the bonding between the resin material and the metal requires elongation after curing that can follow the difference in linear expansion of the materials, and a flexible conductive resin that does not easily crack when dropped.

Features

  • Can be cured at a low temperature of 100°C or less.
  • The cured product is soft.
  • It does not break and has conductivity even when stretched 100%.
  • It can follow the expansion and contraction of the material.

Uses

  • Grounding between dissimilar materials with a large difference in coefficient of thermal expansion
  • Grounding of flexible devices and circuit formation
  • Mounting electronic components on a flexible board
  • Circuit formation of moving parts

Development points

Assuming the response to linear expansion differences between dissimilar materials and application to flexible devices, we have proceeded with the development of a resin that has flexibility not found in conventional products and has conductivity even when deformed. We have succeeded in developing a new product that is softer and more stretchable than before by selecting a silicone resin material that is soft and stretchable as the base polymer and by using a special conductive filler. In addition, by optimizing the curing catalyst, low temperature curing of 100°C or less is achieved.

Properties and general characteristics

Comparison of hardness with conventional products

When a force is applied to conventional product and the ThreeBond3333F, the conventional product cannot withstand the deformation and breaks, whereas the ThreeBond3333F follows and deforms without breaking due to the force.
