The aluminum chelate/silanol-based curing catalyst includes an aluminum chelate curing agent, and a silanol compound or a silane coupling agent.

Abstract: This adhesive contains an epoxy compound, a cationic catalyst, and an acrylic resin that includes acrylic acid and an acrylic acid ester having a hydroxyl group. The acrylic acid in the acrylic resin reacts with the epoxy compound, creating a link between the acrylic resin island part and the epoxy compound sea part, and strengthening the anchoring effect with respect to the epoxy compound sea part by roughening the surface of an oxide film. Furthermore, the hydroxyl-group-containing acrylic acid ester in the acrylic resin becomes electrostatically adhesive to wiring due to the polarity of the hydroxyl group. Excellent adhesive strength can be obtained by adhering, in this way, the entire cured product composed of the acrylic resin island part and the epoxy compound sea part to the oxide film.

Abstract: Provided is an anisotropic conductive adhesive in which excellent optical characteristics and heat dissipation characteristics are obtainable. The anisotropic conductive adhesive contains conductive particles each comprising a metal layer having Ag as a primary constituent formed on an outermost surface of a resin particle, solder particles having a smaller average particle diameter than the conductive particles, reflective insulating particles having a smaller average particle diameter than the solder particles and a binder into which the conductive particles solder particles and reflective insulating particles are dispersed. The conductive particles and the reflective insulating particles efficiently reflect light, thereby improving light-extraction efficiency of an LED mounting body. Additionally, inter-terminal solder bonding of the solder particles during compression bonding increases contact area between opposing terminals, thereby enabling achievement of high heat dissipation characteristics.
