Abstract

An epoxy resin composition which exhibits excellent storage stability while having a low initial viscosity and favorable low temperature curability and an electro-conductive adhesive containing the same. An epoxy resin composition includes components (A) to (C): component (A): an epoxy resin (excluding the following component (B)); component (B): an epoxy resin having one epoxy group in a molecule and a surface tension of from 28.5 to 35.0 mN/m; and component (C): a latent curing agent.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An epoxy resin composition comprising:
component (A): an epoxy resin having two or more epoxy groups in a molecule;
component (B): an epoxy resin having one epoxy group in a molecule and a surface tension of from 28.5 to 35.0 mN/m, wherein component (B) is contained at from 100 to 200 parts by mass with respect to 10 parts by mass of component (A);
component (C): a latent curing agent, wherein component (C) is contained at from 10 to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the component (A);
component (D): a reaction inhibitor; and
component (E): one or more electro-conductive fillers, wherein component (E) is contained at from 400 to 200 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of component (A),
wherein the latent curing agent is a mixture of epoxy compound-modified amines and urea-modified amines.

2. The epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (D) is contained at from 0.1 to 10 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of component (A).

3. The epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (B) includes at least one selected from the group consisting of neodecanoic acid 2-oxiranylmethyl ester, a mixture of C11 to C15 alcohol glycidyl ethers, p-tert-butylphenyl glycidyl ether, and p-sec-butylphenyl glycidyl ether.

4. An electro-conductive adhesive comprising the epoxy resin composition set forth in claim 1 .

5. The epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (E) is a mixture of electro-conductive fillers: an electro-conductive filler having a 50% average particle diameter of 1 n or more and less than 5 μm and an electro-conductive filler having a 50% average particle diameter of 5 μm or more and less than 10 μm.

6. The epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition consisting of components (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) has an initial viscosity that is not higher than 50 Pa·s.

7. The epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the component (E) comprises at least a silver powder.
