Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 97 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition which consists essentially of: (a) an epoxy resin, (b) an organic aluminum compound, (c) a silicon compound having a peroxysilyl group, and (d) a photosensitizer which is other than said compounds (b) and (c), said photosensitizer being capable of photosensitizing said compound (c), such that said composition, when cured, contains no ionic impurities, said photosensitizer being at least one selected from the group consisting of an aromatic hydrocarbon, a benzophenone, an acetophenone, a benzoin, a benzoin ether, a xanthone, a thioxanthone, a disulfide, a quinone, a halogenated hydrocarbon, benzil and an amine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 97 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition which consists essentially of: (a) an epoxy resin, (b) an organic aluminum compound, (c) a silicon compound having a peroxysilyl group, and (d) a photosensitizer which is other than said compounds (b) and (c), said photosensitizer being capable of photosensitizing said compound (c), such that said composition, when cured, contains no ionic impurities, said photosensitizer being at least one selected from the group consisting of an aromatic hydrocarbon, a benzophenone, an acetophenone, a benzoin, a benzoin ether, a xanthone, a thioxanthone, a disulfide, a quinone, a halogenated hydrocarbon, benzil and an amine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said compound (a) consists essentially of an epoxy compound alone or a combination of an epoxy compound with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an acid anhydride, a phenol series compound, an ethylenic compound and an imide compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 92 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 2, wherein said ethylenic compound is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a styrene and derivatives thereof; an unsaturated carboxylic acid, an unsaturated carboxylate; an ester of an unsaturated carboxylic acid with an aliphatic hydroxyl compound, an aliphatic polyhydroxy compound, an aromatic hydroxyl compound or an aromatic polyhydroxy compound; a polycarboxylic acid containing two or more carboxyl groups; and an oligoester obtained by esterifiction reaction of a polyhydroxyl compound containing two or more hydroxyl groups and an unsaturated carboxylic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said organic aluminum compound has an organic group selected from the group consisting of an alkoxy group, a phenoxy group, an acyloxy group, a β-diketonato group and an o-carbonylphenolato group.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 96 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said silicon compound having a peroxysilyl group has the following general formula: (R.sup.1).sub.n --Si--(O--O--R.sup.2).sub.4-n wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a vinyl group, an alkoxy group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; and n is an integer of 0 to 3.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 42 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said aluminum compound and silicon compound having a peroxysilyl group are used in amounts of 0.001 to 10% by weight and 0.01 to 20% by weight based on the epoxy resin, respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 6, wherein said photosensitizer is used in an amount of 0.01 to 20% by weight based on the epoxy resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 31 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said silicon compound having a peroxysilyl group is substituted by two or three aryl groups directly linked to a silicon atom.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 30 words
A photo-curable epoxy resin composition according to claim 1, wherein said photosensitizer is selected from the group consisting of benzophenone, benzoin ethyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, thioxanthone, 2,4-dimethylthioxanthone and naphthalene.
