Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite laminate, preferably a cross-ply laminate, in which process unidirectionally oriented (UD) fibres (3) are provided with matrix material (7) and, together with a pre-formed non-flowing UD composite or cross-ply laminate, passed through a laminating zone (13) in layers of at least two different orientational directions. More particularly, the invention relates to the manufacture of composite material which is pre-eminently suited to be used as a supporting substrate for printed wire boards. The method according to the invention is directed in particular to the utilisation of a double belt press, both for making the pre-formed non-flowing UD composite and for the manufacture of the final laminate. The invention also comprises printed wire boards (PWBs) and multilayer PWBs.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a basic material for making a PWB laminate, which is a foiled UD-prepreg comprising a layer of a conductive metal foil bonded to a layer made up of parallel, unidirectionally oriented reinforcing fibres, having a diameter of below 30 mu m, impregnated with not yet fully consolidated matrix resin. The foiled UD-prepreg can be used to manufacture UD-crossply PWB laminates by stacking and pressing them together with, in between, other UD-layers, which may be either non-foiled UD-prepreg layers, or non-flowing UD composite layers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite laminate having a plurality of UD layers, i.e., layers of matrix material reinforced with unidirectionally oriented fibres, and at least one inner metal layer, i.e., a metal layer that does not form an outer surface of the laminate, the layers being arranged so as to give a balanced and symmetric laminate. The method comprises passing through a laminating zone, preferably a double-belt press, unidirectionally oriented (UD) fibres provided with not yet consolidated matrix material and consolidating the matrix material. In a first step a non-flowing sandwich laminate of at least three layers is formed, the at least three layers being UD and metal layers, the sandwich laminate being formed by passing UD fibres provided with not yet consolidated matrix material through the laminating zone together with metal foil, and in a second step the non-flowing sandwich laminate is provided on its outer surfaces with UD layers, with additional UD layers optionally being added in subsequent steps.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a multilayer printed wire board, also referred to as a multilayer, comprising at least two electrically insulating substrates with electrically conductive traces or layers provided on at least three surfaces thereof, in which process, by means of lamination under pressure, a cured basic substrate (8) based on a UD-reinforced synthetic material, provided on either side with traces (7), is combined with and bonded to a back-up substrate (9), wherein during the laminating process the back-up substrate (9) is added to the basic substrate, the back-up substrate (9) comprising a UD-reinforced cured core layer provided at least on the side facing the conducting traces of the basic substrate with a still plastically deformable (flowable) adhesive layer (15), and such a pressure is exerted on the laminate as to bring said cured core layer of the back-up substrate into contact or practically into contact with the conducting traces (7) of the basic substrate (8), and the space between these traces is filled with the adhesive material, so bonding the basic substrate (8) and the back-up substrate (9).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a supporting board for printed circuits and to the board so obtainable, the method comprising the following steps: manufacturing an electrically non-conducting synthetic layer reinforced with unidirectionally oriented fibres, which will not be made to flow during the subsequent steps; coating at least part of the aforementioned unidirectional laminate with an adhesive on one or both sides; stacking the laminates which have at any rate been coated in part with an adhesive in such a way that there is at least one layer of adhesive between each pair of layers and practically the same amount of material of even thickness and composition is disposed in the virtually perpendicularly intersecting orientation directions; bonding the stacked UD-laminates by activating the adhesive layers.
