Abstract: A positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery including the same, and a method of making the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a positive electrode includes a current collector, a first mixture layer, and a second mixture layer that are sequentially stacked, wherein the first mixture layer includes a first binder composed of a rubber-based resin, and wherein the second mixture layer includes a second binder composed of a fluorine-based resin derived from a fluorine (F)-containing monomer. By using a first binder exhibiting more hydrophobicity than a second binder adhesive strength between a positive electrode current collector and the mixture layer, and durability of the positive electrode, can be improved. When the first mixture layer contains a positive electrode additive, damage to the positive electrode can be minimized, and the electrical performance and lifetime of the lithium secondary battery can be improved.

Abstract: A composition for a semiconductor encapsulant includes an epoxy resin, a curing agent, a filler, and a polyrotaxane, wherein the polyrotaxane includes a linear polymer A, an end group B, and a cyclic molecule C threaded through by the linear polymer. The cyclic molecule C has at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of an epoxy group, an oxetane group, and an alkoxysilyl group, or has a functional group capable of reacting with the at least one functional group.
