Patent number: 7309724Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel thermosetting resin compositions which do not require solvent to provide a system having suitable viscosity for convenient handling. Invention compositions have the benefit of undergoing rapid cure. The resulting thermosets are stable to elevated temperatures, are highly flexible, have low moisture uptake and are consequently useful in a variety of applications, e.g., in adhesive applications since they display good adhesion to both the substrate and the device attached thereto.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Stephen M. Dershem, Dennis B. Patterson, Jose A. Osuna, Jr.

Patent number: 7250121Abstract: An optical device composition of the present invention includes a trifluorovinyl group containing polyimide that is crosslinkable and thermally stable after crosslinking. The invention relates to a polyimide composition which provides either passive or active wave-guide optical capabilities. More particularly since the composition comprises a chromophore which shows non-linear optical ability, the composition can be used for an active wave guide material, such as modulator or switching device compositions. Furthermore, the composition may include a trifluorovinyl containing chromophore and polyimide which comprises non-linear optical ability in the matrix polymer system.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Michiharu Yamamoto, Joshua Tillema, Mohanalingam Kathaperumal
