Vitrimers: new opportunities for high performance sustainable power electronics packaging

Vitrimers are a new class of polymeric materials that offer several advantages compared to regular thermosetting materials typically used in electronics packaging. From their reconfigurable network, it is possible to benefit from properties previously reserved to thermoplastics, thus opening new ways to use and process crosslinked materials. For now, vitrimers are mostly explored for structural composites manufacturing, but their use as a packaging material can be valued from reliability, manufacturing and sustainability standpoints
