Improved electrical properties of electronic packaging based on epoxypolybutadiene resin

In the past year a new class of epoxy resins has come onto the market. These resins which go under the name of Oxiron^® are epoxidized polybutadienes. In addition to having the oxirane oxygen groups, they also possess unsaturation and therefore the methods of curing them can be quite diverse. The great versatility of this resin has been discussed in previous papers(1, 2, 3, 4) as well as its application to specific end uses such as laminates(5). At the present time we propose discussing the use of these resins for electronic packaging.
