When the concentration of component (C) is less than about 15 percent by volume, the silicone adhesive typically does not have significant electrical conductivity. When the concentration of component (C) is greater than about 80 percent by volume, the silicone adhesive typically does not exhibit further substantial improvement in electrical conductivity.
- Methods of preparing electrically conductive fillers suitable for use in the silicone composition of the present invention are well known in the art; many of these fillers are commercially available. For example powders of silver, gold, platinum, or palladium, or alloys thereof are typically produced by chemical precipitation, electrolytic deposition, or cementation. Also, flakes of the aforementioned metals are typically produced by grinding or milling the metal powder in the presence of a lubricant, such as a fatty acid or fatty acid ester. Particles having only an outer surface of at least one of the aforementioned metals are typically produced by metallizing an appropriate core material using a method such as electrolytic deposition, electroless deposition, or vacuum deposition.
- As stated above, the electrically conductive filler of the present invention can be a filler prepared by treating the surfaces of the aforementioned particles with at least one organosilicon compound. In this case, the particles can be treated prior to admixture with the other ingredients of the silicone composition or the particles can be treated in situ during the preparation of the silicone composition.
- Component (D) of the present invention is at least one hydroxy-functional organic compound having a molecular weight up to about 1000 and containing at least one hydroxy group per molecule, provided the compound does not substantially inhibit cure of the composition. When the molecular weight of the hydroxy-functional organic compound is greater than about 1000, the silicone adhesive formed by curing the composition does not have substantially improved electrical conductivity relative to an adhesive formed by curing a similar silicone composition lacking only the hydroxy-functional organic compound. As used herein, the term “substantially inhibit cure” means to prevent cure or retard cure to the point where the cure rate is impracticably slow, for example, several days, at all temperatures from room temperature to about 150° C. Preferably, the silicone composition of the present invention cures in less than about 16 hours at 70° C.
- The structure of the hydroxy-functional organic compound can be linear, branched, or cyclic. The hydroxy group(s) in the hydroxy-functional organic compound may be attached to a primary, secondary or tertiary aliphatic carbon atom; an aromatic carbon atom; or a doubly bonded carbon atom in the molecule. Furthermore, there are no restrictions on the stereochemistry of the hydroxy-bearing carbon atom(s) or the molecule.
- The hydroxy-functional organic compound can contain one or more functional groups other than hydroxy, provided the compound does not substantially inhibit cure of the composition. Examples of suitable functional groups include, but are not limited to, —O—, >C═O, —CHO, —CO2—, —C≡N, —NO2, >C═C<, —C≡C—, —F, —Cl, —Br, and —I. However, hydroxy-functional organic compounds containing functional groups that strongly complex the metal in the condensation catalyst, component (E), may substantially inhibit cure of the composition. For example, when a tin catalyst is used, hydroxy-functional organic compounds containing thiol (—SH) groups are generally avoided. The degree of inhibition depends on the particular functional group and metal and the mole ratio thereof. The suitability of a particular hydroxy-functional organic compound for use in the silicone composition of the present invention can be readily determined by routine experimentation using the methods in the Examples below.
- The hydroxy-functional organic compound can be a naturally occurring or synthetic compound having a liquid or solid state at room temperature. Also, the hydroxy-functional organic compound can be soluble, partially soluble, or insoluble in the silicone composition. The normal boiling point of the hydroxy-functional organic compound, which depends on the molecular weight, structure, and number and nature of functional groups in the compound, can vary over a wide range. Preferably, the hydroxy-functional organic compound has a normal boiling point greater than the cure temperature of the composition. Otherwise, appreciable amounts of the hydroxy-functional organic compound may be removed by volatilization during cure, resulting in little or no enhancement in the conductivity of the silicone adhesive. Also, excessive volatilization of the hydroxy-functional organic compound during curing may cause formation of voids in the silicone adhesive.

- Component (D) is present in an effective amount in the silicone composition of the present invention. As used herein, the term “effective amount” means that the concentration of component (D) is such that the silicone composition cures to form a silicone adhesive having improved electrical conductivity, initial contact resistance and/or volume resistivity, compared with a similar silicone composition lacking only the hydroxy-functional organic compound. Typically, the concentration of component (D) is such that the adhesive exhibits at least about a ten-fold improvement in either contact resistance or volume resistivity, as determined using the methods in the Examples below. The concentration of component (D) is typically from about 0.1 to about 3 percent by weight and preferably from about 0.5 to about 1.5 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. When the concentration of component (D) is less than about 0.1 percent by weight, the silicone adhesive typically does not exhibit improved electrical conductivity. When the concentration of component (D) is greater than about 3 percent by weight, the silicone adhesive typically does not exhibit further substantial improvement in electrical conductivity. The effective amount of component (D) can be determined by routine experimentation using the methods in the Examples below.

- The concentration of component (E) is sufficient to catalyze the condensation reaction of components (A) and (B). The exact amount of component (E) depends on the desired extent and rate of cure, the activity of the catalyst, the type of crosslinking agent, and the nature of the other components in the silicone composition.

Unless otherwise noted, all parts and percentages reported in the examples are by weight. The following methods and materials were employed in the examples:
- The Contact resistance of a silicone adhesive on copper was determined using a Keithley Instruments Model 580 Micro-ohm Meter equipped with a 4-pole probe having spring-loaded, gold-plated, chisel point tips. A contact resistance joint was prepared by bonding two rectangular copper bars (0.254 cm×0.254 cm×2.032 cm) with the silicone composition according to the following procedure: One face (rectangular) of each copper bar was cleaned by sanding with 400 grit silicon carbide waterproof sandpaper, scrubbing with a Kimwipe dampened with heptane followed by a Kimwipe dampened with isopropanol, and air drying at room temperature for at least one hour. A small aliquot of the silicone composition was applied at approximately the center (lengthwise) of one bar. A second bar was then oriented perpendicular to the first bar with the center (lengthwise) of each bar facing the other and the silicone composition forming a bondline of 0.025 cm. Finally, the cross-shaped (+) fixture was cured in a forced air oven at 70° C. for sixteen hours. After allowing the sample to cool to room temperature, the initial contact resistance of the joint was measured. The reported values for contact resistance, expressed in units of ohms, represent the average of three measurements, each performed on identically prepared test specimens.
- The volume resistivity of a silicone adhesive was determined using a Keithley Instruments Model 580 Micro-ohm Meter equipped with a four-point probe having spring-loaded, gold-plated, spherical tips. A test specimen was prepared by first placing two strips of 3M Scotch brand tape 0.25 cm apart on a glass microscope slide to form a channel extending the length of the slide. An aliquot of the silicone composition was deposited at one end of the slide and over the channel. The composition was then spread over the entire channel by drawing a razor blade through the composition and across the surface at an angle of 45°. The tape strips were removed and the specimen was cured in a forced air oven at 70° C. for sixteen hours. After allowing the sample to cool to room temperature, the voltage drop between the two inner probe tips was measured at an appropriate current to give a resistance value in ohms. The initial volume resistivity of the adhesive was then calculated using the following equation:
- V=R(W×T/L)
- where V is volume resistivity in ohm-centimeters, R is resistance (ohms) of the adhesive measured between two inner probe tips spaced 2.54 cm apart, W is the width of the adhesive layer in centimeters, T is the thickness of the adhesive layer in centimeters, and L is the length of the adhesive layer between the inner probes in centimeters (2.54 cm). The thickness of the adhesive layer, typically about 0.004 cm, was determined using an Ames Model LG3500-0-04 thickness gauge.
