The invention relates to compositions of α,α-branched alkane carboxylic acids glycidyl esters which derived from rosin and or hydrogenated rosin reacted with an epihalohydrin. The above glycidyl esters compositions can be used for example, as monomer in binder compositions for paints or adhesives, as reactive diluent or as acid scavenger. This invention is also about the uses of rosin and or hydrogenated rosin glycidyl ester in combinations with polyester polyols, or acrylic polyols, or polyether polyols.

Materials and methods for modifying semiconducting substrate surfaces in order to dramatically change surface energy are provided. Preferred materials include perfluorocarbon molecules or polymers with various functional groups. The functional groups (carboxylic acids, hydroxyls, epoxies, aldehydes, and/or thiols) attach materials to the substrate surface by physical adsorption or chemical bonding, while the perfluorocarbon components contribute to low surface energy. Utilization of the disclosed materials and methods allows rapid transformation of surface properties from hydrophilic to hydrophobic (water contact angle 120° and PGMEA contact angle) 70°. Selective liquiphobic modifications of copper over Si/SiOx, TiOx over Si/SiOx, and SiN over SiOx are also demonstrated.

The present invention relates to an adhesive film comprising an adhesive layer; a photothermal conversion layer containing a light absorber and a thermally decomposable resin; and an adhesive base film layer disposed between the adhesive layer and the photothermal conversion layer, wherein the adhesive base film layer contains a multifunctional epoxy resin, a binder resin, a curing agent, and a curing catalyst. The adhesive film according to the present invention may be able to simplify a processing process of a substrate, and prevent damage to the substrate and circuits or elements formed on the substrate.
