Curing behavior in air of epoxy-based electrically conductive adhesives composed of several types of amine-based curing agents containing copper micro-fillers was examined. Electrical conductivity was developed in these adhesives during gelation stage of the curing process. Electrical resistivity of the cured-adhesives varied depending on the amine-based curing agents. When a polyamide amine was used as the curing agent, relatively low electrical resistivity was obtained after curing. Although necking between copper fillers occurred in the epoxy-based binder during curing above 200 ℃, oxidation behavior of the fillers was quite different depending on the curing agents. Control of the interfacial reaction between copper fillers and chemical components of the binder is a key for development of air-curable adhesives containing copper fillers.
