Ultrasound transducer assemblies and methods include a kerf fill material that substantially fills kerfs between adjacent transducer elements. In at least one embodiment, an ultrasound transducer assembly includes a plurality of transducer elements and a plurality of kerfs. Each of the kerfs is disposed between adjacent ones of the transducer elements. A kerf fill material is disposed in the plurality of kerfs. The kerf fill material includes a first material having a first viscosity and a solvent that reduces the first viscosity of the kerf fill material to a second viscosity that is less than the first viscosity. The kerf fill material may include a mixture of a silicone and a volatile methylsiloxane (VMS) fluid.
