Enhanced adhesion of silica for epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) by plasma polymer coatings

Silica for epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) was coated via plasma polymerization using an RF plasma (13.56 MHz) as a function of the plasma power, gas pressure, and treatment time. The monomers utilized for the plasma polymer coatings were 1,3-diaminopropane, allylamine, pyrrole, 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene, allyl mercaptan, and allyl alcohol. The E...More
