Percolation Efficiency of the Conductivity of Electrically Conductive Adhesives
This is a method which is efficient in improving the percolation efficiency of the electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs). We apply a series of halogens and pseudohalogens for surface pre-modification of the conductive fillers. This treatment can result in the formation of a thin layer of nano-islands at the surface of the metal fillers. These nano-islands are the complexes of metal halides with abundant metal molecular clusters. The size range of these nano-islands is from 0.5 nm to 1 micrometer. They can improve the wettability between the filler and the resin matrix by adjusting the polarity of the metal filler surface. They can also prevent oxidation of the metal filler surface by oxygen, because the abundant metal clusters inside the nano-islands have very strong reducing ability. This treatment method affiliates the electrical conductance of the ECAs.
1. An efficient method to improve the conductivity of the electrically conductive adhesives and lowers the percolation threshold.
2. Can have less filling materials (usually are noble metals) to achieve excellent conductivity
