摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for an acoustic wave probe which substantially improves hardness and mechanical strength of a silicone resin, while maintaining a low acoustic attenuation; a silicone resin for an acoustic wave probe; an acoustic wave probe; a photoacoustic wave measurement device; an ultrasound endoscope; a method of manufacturing a silicone resin for an acoustic wave probe; an acoustic wave probe which uses a cMUT (capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer) as an ultrasound diagnosis transducer; and a composition for an acoustic wave probe and a silicone resin for an acoustic wave probe which improve sensitivity in a photoacoustic wave measurement device and an ultrasound endoscope.SOLUTION: A polysiloxane mixture comprises at least a polysiloxane, an organic peroxide, and silica particles having an average primary particle size of less than 12 nm.SELECTED DRAWING: None
