Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a conductive curable composition comprising combining and mixing ingredients comprising: A. 1-50 parts by weight of a free radical polymerizable monomer, oligomer or polymer (i); B. 0.1-50 parts by weight of an organoborane amine complex (ii) sufficient to cure the composition, the amount depending on the molecular weight of the complex and the number of boron atoms per molecule; either C. 0.5-80 percent by volume of an electrically conductive filler (iii) based on the total volume of the conductive curable composition sufficient to impart electrical conductivity to the curable composition; or C. 25-96 percent by weight of a thermally conductive filler (iii) based on the total weight of the conductive curable composition sufficient to impart thermal conductivity to the curable composition; D. greater than 0 to 50 parts by weight of an amine reactive compound having amine reactive groups (iv) sufficient to decomplex boron depending on the molecular weight of the compound; E. 0 to 50 parts by weight of a component capable of generating gas (v) when mixed with a compound bearing active hydrogen and a catalyst; and F. 0 to 50 parts by weight of any optional ingredient(s); based on the total weight of the conductive curable composition; wherein the amine reactive compound (iv) is present; and the electrically or thermally conductive filler (iii) is treated with the amine reactive compound (iv).
