  • Patent number: 10940105
    Abstract: Provided is a resin-linear organopolysiloxane block copolymer which has a high degree of freedom in formulation due to excellent compatibility with other materials, in addition to exhibiting excellent film forming properties and followability of a film, while the stickiness of a film is suppressed. The resin-linear organopolysiloxane block copolymer has: a resin structure (A1) block that has siloxane units represented by R1SiO3/2 (wherein R1 represents a monovalent organic group, a hydroxyl group, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms) and SiO4/2; and a linear structure (A2) block represented by (R2SiO2/2)n (wherein n represents a number of 5 or more while R represents an alkyl group, a fluoroalkyl group, or an aryl group) in each molecule. The resin structure (A1) and the linear structure (A2) are linked to each other by an Si—O—Si bond, and an Si atom bonded to the resin structure (A1) constitutes an RSiO3/2 unit.

  • Patent number: 9765192
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides hydrosilylation curable compositions comprising resin linear organosiloxane block copolymers comprising, among other things, from about 0.5 to about 5 mole % C1 to C30 hydrocarbyl group comprising at least one aliphatic unsaturated bond. Such hydrosilylation curable resin-linear organosiloxane block copolymers have significantly faster cure speed, relative to their condensation curable counterparts. A faster cure speed can be important for encapsulating electronic devices, such as light-emitting diode (LED) chip devices, particularly devices having tall structures.

  • Patent number: 9076934
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing a resin-linear organosiloxane block copolymer by reacting a linear organosiloxane and an organosiloxane resin to form a resin-linear organosiloxane block copolymer. The resulting resin-linear organosiloxane block copolymer is then crosslinked to increase the average molecular weight of the resin-linear organosiloxane block copolymer. The resin-linear organosiloxanes block copolymers prepared by the disclosed process may provide solid, optically clear compositions which may be considered as “reprocessable.
