Advanced Materials Across Electronics Applications

As electronic systems become smaller and more powerful, material selection becomes increasingly complex. Engineers must manage rising heat loads while maintaining electrical insulation, dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and reliable mechanical performance.

Mitsubishi Chemical Group supplies advanced materials for electronic components, assemblies, and systems. Our portfolio includes engineered plastics, carbon-fiber composites, functional films, epoxy resins, adhesives, elastomers, encapsulation materials, formulated silicone solutions, and thermal-management technologies.

Managing heat in power-dense systems

Increasing computing and power density places greater demands on cooling at the component, board, and system levels.

Thermal-interface materials must balance heat transfer with electrical properties, thickness, mechanical behavior, adhesion, and processability. MCG capabilities include ultra-thin thermally conductive films, configurable thermal-interface materials, electrically insulating materials, and formulated silicone solutions.

Current development work targets advanced-package, AI-server, and data-center cooling architectures.

Integrating materials without adding unnecessary complexity

Printed and flexible circuits bring semiconductor devices and other components together within increasingly compact assemblies. Materials may need to provide adhesion, insulation, thermal performance, and environmental protection while remaining compatible with established manufacturing processes.

MCG solutions include:

  • jER™ epoxy resins for encapsulation, insulation, and adhesion
  • Adhesive resins and functional films
  • Thermally conductive and electrically insulating materials
  • Engineering plastics and elastomers
  • Carbon-fiber composites
  • Formulated silicone solutions

These material platforms support applications such as laminated boards, connectors, housings, tapes, structural components, and protected electronic assemblies.

Performance under demanding operating conditions

Connectors, sensors, modules, housings, and power-electronics components may encounter heat, chemical exposure, repeated use, and tight dimensional tolerances.

MCG provides engineering plastics, elastomers, composites, films, and functional polymers offering different combinations of:

  • Dimensional stability
  • Mechanical performance
  • Electrical insulation and ESD control
  • Chemical resistance
  • Thermal performance
  • Low weight and processability

Control light surface properties and dimensions

Displays and optical systems require precise management of transparency, light transmission, reflection, and surface characteristics. Materials must also meet the dimensional and processing requirements of the selected device architecture.

MCG supplies high-performance films, transparent polymers, functional coatings, adhesives, and formulated silicone solutions for:

  • Displays
  • Optical components
  • Augmented and virtual reality devices
  • Smart glasses
  • Light-management systems
