Abstract: The present invention discloses a one part, snap curing, acrylic-based composition with long worklife at room temperature. The composition cures in less than 60 seconds at temperatures below 120° C. and provides a suitable worklife of 3 days at room temperature. The composition comprise of a radical initiator with a ten hour half life, 10 hr T1/2, equal to or less than 80° C., (meth)acrylate or vinylene-containing base oligomers and at least one additional (meth)acrylate monomer to dilute the base oligomers. Additional ingredients, such as non-reactive chemical compounds, thixotropic agents, pigments, and fillers may be added as desired. A further embodiment of the invention is a method of using the composition with an electronic device.

Abstract: A termination coating for use with surface mount components for electrical devices, such as base metal multilayer ceramic capacitors. The coating is capable of application at low temperatures and provides flexibility and humidity resistance to the component. The termination coating may contain copper powder and/or copper flakes. A method for applying a termination coating and curing the coating at temperatures below 300° C.

Abstract: The present invention discloses encapsulant materials for use in glob top and/or dam and fill applications comprising base oligomer/monomers preferably having an acrylated/methacrylated or vinylene-containing oligomer/polymer, one or more multifunctional acrylate monomers, one or more thixotropic agents and, optionally, fillers, additives, photoinitiators and/or pigments. The encapsulant has low levels of water absorption and shrinkage.
