Abstract: Provided is a coating composition comprising (a) a component A of the formula (R1)dSi(OR2)4?d, wherein R1 is a C1-C3 monovalent hydrocarbon, R2 is an R1 or a hydrogen radical and d is 0, 1 or 2; (b) a component B selected from the group consisting of (R3)aSi(OR4)4?a (Formula 1) and/or (R5O)m(R6)nSi(R9)x(R10)y Si(R11)zSi(R)o(OR7)p (Formula 2); (c) metal oxide particles; (d) UV absorber; (e) a catalyst; and (f) a solvent. The coating composition may provide a coating exhibiting good optical properties as well as durability, abrasion resistance, and/or crack resistance.

Abstract: A thermal interface material composition including a blend of a polymer matrix and a thermally conductive filler having particles having a maximum particle diameter no greater than about 25 microns, wherein the polymer matrix includes an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule, an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule and a hydrosilyation catalyst comprising a transition metal, wherein the transition metal is present in an amount of from about 10 to about 20 ppm by weight based on the weight of the non-filler components and the molar ratio of the silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms to the silicon-bonded alkenyl groups ranges from about 1 to about 2. A method is also provided.
