Existing sealing technologies for electrical and electronic components face issues with low productivity, poor handleability, and limited thermal conductivity, particularly in the use of liquid epoxy resins and thermally conductive resins, which affect the molding process and product quality.

Innovation Solution

A crystalline radical polymerizable composition comprising crystalline unsaturated polyester, epoxy (meth) acrylate, urethane (meth) acrylate, polyester (meth) acrylate, polyether (meth) acrylate, and radical polymerizable monomers, with a melting point of 30 to 150°C, low melt viscosity, and high thermal conductivity, combined with an inorganic filler and a radical polymerization initiator, to enhance flowability and handleability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If liquid epoxy resin is used for sealing, then adhesion to resin substrate or metal and mechanical strength are improved, but productivity is reduced due to complex molding processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanical strengthVSAvoidproductivity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state parameter of the resin from liquid (epoxy resin) to solid crystalline form (radical polymerizable composition). This allows the resin to be processed in granular form through injection molding, significantly improving productivity while maintaining sealing performance. The crystalline structure melts during molding to provide adequate flowability, then solidifies to form the seal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the chemical bonding mechanism of epoxy resin with the physical melting and solidification mechanism of crystalline radical polymerizable composition. This substitution enables the use of standard injection molding equipment and processes, improving productivity without sacrificing adhesion or mechanical strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Temperature

If thermosetting resin is used for high temperature resistance, then heat resistance is improved, but handleability and flowability deteriorate due to high viscosity

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the temperature parameter at which the resin transitions from solid to liquid state. The crystalline radical polymerizable composition is designed to melt at a specific temperature range during the molding process, providing excellent flowability and handleability when molten, while maintaining heat resistance in the solid state for the final sealed component.
