Composition for acoustic wave probe, silicone resin for acoustic wave probe, acoustic wave probe, ultrasound probe, acoustic wave measurement apparatus, ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, photoacoustic wave measurement apparatus, and ultrasound endoscope

Abstract

A composition for an acoustic wave probe, containing the following ingredients (A) to (D): (A) a linear polysiloxane having a vinyl group; (B) a linear polysiloxane having two or more Si—H groups in a molecular chain; (C) a polysiloxane resin; and (D) surface-treated silica particles having an average primary particle diameter more than 16 nm and less than 100 nm, as well as, a silicone resin for an acoustic wave probe, an acoustic wave probe, an ultrasound probe, an acoustic wave measurement apparatus, an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, a photoacoustic wave measurement apparatus, and an ultrasound endoscope, using the composition for an acoustic wave probe.
