Preparation of Chloride Salt of Octa (Aminopropylsilsesquioxane) Filled Low-κ Epoxy Composites with Improved Thermal Stability and Low Water Absorption

Herein, a kind of low-κ epoxy composites with excellent comprehensive properties were prepared by introducing chloride salt of octa (aminopropylsilsesquioxane). The dielectric constant (106 Hz) of the composite was decreased by 0.94 when the fillers loading was only 3 wt%. The thermal stability and shore hardness were both improved, and the water adsorption was reduced. The improved properties of the composites were mainly attributed to the intrinsic cage-like structure of the filler and its good dispersion in the matrix. Moreover, the strong interface interaction between the filler and matrix also played an important role.
