Metal salts of quinolinols and quinolinol derivatives in curable compositions
View Patent ↗Curable compositions exhibit improved adhesion and conductivity by the addition of a metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative as an adhesion and/or conductivity promoter. The metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative is formed by coordination with a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Al, Ga, In, TI, Yt, La, Pb, Sb, Bi, Cr, Mo, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Ce, and Pr. Examples of quinolinol derivative salts have the structures:
1. A curable composition with improved adhesion and conductivity comprising a curable resin, a filler, optionally a curing agent for the resin, and the metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative in which the 8-quinolinol or 8-quinolinol derivative to form the metal salt is selected from the group consisting of
2. The curable composition according to claim 1 in which the metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative is formed by coordination with a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Al, Ga, In, TI, Yt, La, Pb, Sb, Bi, Cr, Mo, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Ce, and Pr.
3. The curable composition according to claim 2 in which the metal salt of 8-quinolinol or of an 8-quinolinol derivative is formed by coordination with a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Zn, and Al.
4. The curable composition according to claim 1 , 2 , or 3 in which the curable resin is a maleimide resin, an acrylate or methacrylate resin, an epoxy resin, or a cyanate ester resin.
