Filled, curable siloxane encapsulant compositions containing a curable siloxane base resin with functional groups reactive with functional groups of a hardener compound to form a polysiloxane, and filler particles with surface functional groups reactive with the hardener compound functional groups, wherein the filler particles have at least a bi-modal particle packing distribution of first filler particles having a first diameter and second filler particles having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and the first and second filler particles are present in amounts effective to provide a particle packing distribution with a relative bulk volume of at least about 90 percent. Tri-modal particle packing distributions of the first and second filler particles with third filler particles having a third diameter smaller than the second diameter are preferred, with the first, second and third filler particles being present in amounts effective to provide a tri-modal particle packing distribution with a relative bulk volume of at least about 95 percent. Encapsulant kits, cured encapsulant compositions in which filler particles are individually covalently bonded to one or more polysiloxane polymer chains, microelectronic assemblies incorporating the cured encapsulant compositions, and methods for preparing the curable encapsulant compositions are also disclosed.
