This study reveals a methodological research for predicting mechanical properties of phosphor films through the chemical crosslinking reaction of methyl silicone resin during fabrication of the phosphor films. Crosslinking point according to the type of methyl silicone resins was verified through the magnitude of the absorption peak of the functional group and the curing reaction heat. Then, we measured mechanical properties of the fabricated phosphor films. As a result, it was figured out that the number of the crosslinking point was directly proportional to the total curing reaction heat, and also affected the mechanical properties of the phosphor films. Based on the correlation of curing reaction heat and crosslinking point of the methyl silicone resins and mechanical properties of the fabricated phosphor films, we proposed a methodology that can understand and control the phosphor films in advance of finishing the fabrication of the final phosphor products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
