Abstract:
A polymeric film has a polyester substrate layer and a cross-linked adherent layer of an acrylic resin and a phthalate ester. The adherent layer exhibits improved adhesion to the substrate and to a range of subsequently applied layers, such as inks, lacquers, and vinyl chloride polymers.
Abstract:
A resin composition for forming conductor patterns comprising a photo curable resin, a photopolymerization initiator, a thermosetting resin, agent for the thermosetting resin, photosensitive semiconductor particles, and if necessary a polyfunctional unsaturated compound is suitable for forming very fine conductor patterns in a build-up method.
Abstract:
Composite printed circuit board substrates having fiber reinforcement in a polymer matrix are disclosed. The fibers may be thermotropic melt processable liquid crystal polymer fibers.
Abstract:
Carbonyl-containing polymer films, such as PET, are selectively metallizedy contacting the films with a layer or film of metal, such as aluminum, and then irradiating selected portions of the surface of the film with infrared radiation thereby heating those selected portions of the film. The metal on or opposite the irradiated portions of the surface adhere to the film. The remaining metal may be readily removed. The process provides surprisingly good spatial resolution. The present process is particularly useful in the production of microcontacts for circuit boards.
Abstract:
An electrical laminate comprising a plurality of fibrous cellulosic substrate layers and alternately interposed layers of cured epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin between the adjacent substrate layers, wherein each of the substrate layers is embedded in a matrix of said cured resin which is substantially integral with said layers of cured resin, and consists essentially of cellulosic fibers having thereon a coating of methylol group-containing resin such as aminoplast resins. The laminate may be unclad or cladded with a metal foil.
Abstract:
A polyester film for printed circuits to be used as a base in a printed circuit base plate or as a base and/or cover layer in a printed circuit board, which undergoes a degree of dimensional stability of not more than 1% in both the longitudinal and transverse directions when kept at 150.degree. C. for 30 minutes, and which is obtained by heat treating an extrusion molded and stretched polyester film at 150.degree. C. to 240.degree. C. without applying tension.
Abstract:
Conductor-clad composites are advantageously fabricated using molding compounds and associated processing techniques. The conductive cladding is applied and bonded to the composite during the molding process. The conductor-clad composite may be used as printed wiring board, and in this embodiment results in improved physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties.
Abstract:
A continuous process for producing reinforced resin laminates comprising the steps of impregnating a fibrous substrate with a liquid resin which is free of volatile solvent and is capable of curing without generating liquid and gaseous byproducts, laminating a plurality of the resin-impregnated substrates into a unitary member, sandwiching the laminate between a pair of covering sheets, and curing the laminate between said pair of covering sheets without applying appreciable pressure. The improvement comprises adjusting the final resin content in said resin impregnated substrate at 10 to 90% by weight based on the total weight of said impregnated substrate.
Abstract:
An improved reinforced flexible printed wiring board is disclosed. The reinforcement in this printed wiring board is composed of a fabric woven from a yarn of plied continuous filaments of polyester and glass. The fabric is impregnated with an appropriate resin which is subsequently cured. This printed wiring board is found to have improved mechanical and thermal characteristics with little degradation in electrical properties.
Abstract:
A metallized polymeric article in which the metal coating is more firmly adhered is provided by disposing between the polymeric substrate and the metal top coat a poromeric adhesive coating. The poromeric adhesive coating is produced by coating onto the substrate a solution or dispersion of a polymer which when coagulated by exposure to an atmosphere of a suitably high relative humidity coagulates to form a poromeric adhesive coating.
