Abstract
Nanoparticles (<100 nm) and submicron particles (<400 nm) can be used as filler material to form a nanocomposite that can be used as an encapsulant for optoelectronic devices. These nanocomposites can function to reduce light scattering and increase thermal, mechanical and dimensional stability of the optoelectronic device. Such nanocomposites can also improve moisture barrier characteristics, lower the dielectric constant and increase resistivity of the optoelectronic device.
