Flexible-to-rigid tubing

Номер: US20120050994A1
Принадлежит: International Business Machines Corp

A flexible-to-rigid tube is flexible when routed and is then rigidized to increase burst strength. According to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the flexible-to-rigid tube is included in a cooling plate assembly for transferring heat from electronic components mounted on a circuit board. In one embodiment, the flexible-to-rigid tube (while in a flexible state) includes a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or other silicone containing pendant or terminal epoxy, vinyl and/or acrylate functional groups and an initiator (e.g., a sulfonium salt photoinitiator, a free radical photoinitiator, or a thermal initiator). In another embodiment, triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) and an initiator are incorporated into a conventional PVC-based tubing material. The flexible-to-rigid tube changes from the flexible state to a rigid state via formation of a cross-linked network upon exposure to actinic radiation or heat.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel hetero ring-containing siloxane polymer, a composition and an electronic material composition containing the polymer, and an electronic element, which do not cause a decrease in luminous efficiency and driving stability of an electronic element, by adding the polymer to an electronic material composition or ink to be used for coating film formation. It has been found that the electronic element produced from the novel hetero ring-containing siloxane polymer, the composition and the electronic material composition containing the polymer exhibit improved luminous efficiency and driving stability, thereby completing the present invention. 3. A composition comprising the polymer according to .4. An electronic material composition comprising the polymer according to .5. An electronic element comprising the composition according to .6. A composition comprising the polymer according to .7. An electronic material composition comprising the polymer according to .8. The electronic material composition according to . The present invention relates to a hetero ring-containing siloxane polymer, a composition and an electronic material composition containing the polymer, and an electronic element containing the electronic material composition.In recent years, researches on electronic elements such as TFTs, solar cells, and organic electroluminescence elements have been conducted in various ways. In the related art, these electronic elements have been prepared by vacuum film formation, but in recent years, due to the demand on increasing the area of the substrate and reducing the cost of the product, attention has been paid to methods of preparing electronic elements by printing.These electronic elements can be roughly classified into a low molecular weight material and a high molecular weight material on the basis of the forming materials.Regarding the low molecular weight electronic material, in addition to the vacuum film ...
