Water absorption resistant polyimide/epoxy-based compositions, like pastes
(or solutions), are particularly useful to make electronic
screen-printable materials and electronic components. A group of
hydrophobic epoxies (and soluble polyimides) was discovered to be
particularly resistant to moisture absorption. The polyimide/epoxy pastes
made with these epoxies (and these polyimides) may optionally contain
thermal crosslinking agents, adhesion promoting agents, blocked
isocyanates, and other inorganic fillers. The polyimide/epoxy pastes of
the present invention can have a glass transition temperature greater
than 250.degree. C., a water absorption factor of less than 2%, and a
positive solubility measurement.
