Abstract
Abstract An electrically conductive epoxy-based adhesive. The epoxy is selected from the amine curing modified epoxy family consisting of a resin that is a combination of polygylcidylaminophenyl resin and polygylcidylether of phenylformaldehyde novalac resin family and a catalyst that is a combination of one member from the aliphatic amide family plus one member from the aliphatic polyamine family. In one embodiment includes 17 parts by weight of the resin and 10 parts by weight of the catalyst. 73 parts by weight of a mixture of properly shaped silver flake particles are added. The resulting adhesive is curable at room temperature to provide a high-temperature, high-strength, electrically conductive adhesive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
An electroconductive adhesive consisting essentially of: (a) an epoxy resin from the modified epoxy family consisting of a mixture of a polygylcidylaminophenyl compound and a polygylcidylether of polyformaldehyde novolac compound; (b) a catalyst consisting of a combination of one member being an aliphatic amide amine and one member being an aliphatic polyamine; (c) a mixture of differently shaped conductive particles having a substantially uniform concentration and a random distribution of shapes throughout said adhesive so as to minimize the steric interference and provide conductivity in substantially all directions; the percent by weight of (a), (b), and (c) being between 10% and 17%, between 4% and 10%, and between 63% and 73%, respectively.
Claim 2
