Low dielectric constant porous materials having improved mechanical strength

The present invention relates to porous materials, typically xerogels or aerogels, having a low dielectric constant but relatively poor mechanical strength. The present invention relates to polymeric coatings, preferably parylene, coated on inorganic xerogels or aerogels so as to increase the mechan...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to porous materials, typically xerogels or aerogels, having a low dielectric constant but relatively poor mechanical strength. The present invention relates to polymeric coatings, preferably parylene, coated on inorganic xerogels or aerogels so as to increase the mechanical strength while not substantially degrading the dielectric properties of the resulting coated material. Silica xerogel conformally coated with parylene AF-4 is described.
