Abstract

A polysiloxane film comprises Si—O bonds and has a thickness of 0.3 to 1.5 microns. Adjacent electrodes coated with the polysiloxane film have a leakage current of at most 0.01 mA at 10 V after contact with water. An electrode coated with the polysiloxane film has a contact resistance of at least 0.01 ohms at 1.0 mm of pogo pin compression under a 1.0 N load. The polysiloxane film provides IPx7 protection from ingress of water.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A polysiloxane film comprising:
Si—O bonds generated by polymerizing monomers comprising
at least one linear siloxane monomer having a formula selected from the group consisting of:
(X1) n Si(R1) 4-n , wherein n is 1, 2 or 3;
(X1)Si(R1) 2 OSi(R1) 2 (X1); and
(X1)(Si(R1) 2 O) 2 Si(R1) 2 (X1);
wherein X1 is OR2, R2 is alkyl, and each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, alkoxy, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl;

a non-volatile diluent selected from the group consisting of alkyl and aryl hydrocarbons having 4-9 carbon atoms, the non-volatile diluent swelling the polysiloxane film,
wherein the polysiloxane film has a thickness of 0.3 to 1.5 microns and forms contoured regions on a surface coated with the polysiloxane film that have a width from 0.1 to 3.0 microns and a length that is at least five times greater than the width, the polysiloxane film passes a corrosion current test, and the polysiloxane film passes a contact resistance test.

2. The polysiloxane film of claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane film provides IPx7protection from ingress of water.

3. The polysiloxane film of claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane film has a thickness of 0.5 to 1.1 microns.

4. The polysiloxane film of claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane film comprises fluorine.

5. The polysiloxane film of claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane film comprises carbon deposits.

6. The polysiloxane film of claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane film has a thickness of 0.5 to 1.1 microns, the polysiloxane film provides IPx7 protection from ingress of water, and the polysiloxane film comprises fluorine.

7. The polysiloxane film of claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane film further comprises (SiO)(R1) 2 units that are separate from the linear siloxane monomer, wherein each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, alkoxy, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl and heteroaryl.

8. The polysiloxane film of claim 7 , wherein R1 is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalky, aryl, heteroaryl, amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, alkoxy, a carboxylic acid, phenethyl, a phosphonic acid, a sulfonic acid, a carboxylic ester, a carboxylic amide, a carboxylic anhydride, a saccharide, a halogen, and salts thereof.

9. An electronic device comprising electrical components coated with the polysiloxane film of claim 1 .

10. An electronic device comprising electrical components coated with the polysiloxane film of claim 2 .
