Radiation-curable compositions are provided for use in the fabrication of
electronic components as passivation coatings; for defect repair in
ceramic and thin film products by micropassivation in high circuit density
electronic modules to allow product recovery; as a solder mask in
electronic assembly processes; for use as protective coatings on printed
circuit board (PCB) circuitry and electronic devices against mechanical
damage and corrosion from exposure to the environment. The compositions
are solvent-free, radiation-curable, preferably uv-curable, containing a
polymer binder, which is a pre-formed thermoplastic or elastomeric
polymer/oligomer, a monofunctional and/or bifunctional acrylic monomer, a
multifunctional (more than 2 reactive groups) acrylated/methacrylated
monomer, and a photoinitiator, where all the constituents are mutually
miscible forming a homogeneous viscous blend without the addition of an
organic solvent. The compositions may also contain inorganic fillers
and/or nanoparticle fillers.
