Abstract:
Fibers having increased strength and small diameters can be produced from compositions comprising long chain branched syndiotactic vinyl aromatic polymers. Due to the increased fiber strength, less strand breakage occurs during processing which increases process productivity and yield.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a low dielectric constant printed circuit board includes dispersing an additive material in a low dielectric constant porous polymer layer; providing holes through the low dielectric constant porous polymer layer; applying a metallization layer over surfaces of the low dielectric constant porous polymer layer and surfaces of the holes; patterning the metallization layer; and removing the additive material from the low dielectric constant porous polymer layer. The removal of the additive material can be accomplished by sublimation, evaporation, and diffusion.

Abstract:
An electronic structure includes a circuit chip having chip pads and supported by a substrate, and a low dielectric constant porous polymer layer having pores and situated over the substrate and circuit chip. The porous polymer layer has at least one via therein aligned with at least one of the chip pads, and a pattern of electrical conductors extends over a portion of the porous polymer layer and into the at least one via. The pattern of electrical conductors does not significantly protrude into the pores of the porous polymer layer.

Abstract:
A method for producing a hybrid integrated circuit includes steps of: applying an adhesive to an electronic part mounting conductor on an insulating substrate; adhering an electronic part to the applied adhesive and hardening the adhesive to temporarily fix the electronic part; fixing the temporarily fixed electronic part on the conductor with solder; and dissolving the hardened adhesive in a solvent and removing it. Upon being hardened, the adhesive can withstand the heat of molten solder and can be dissolved in a solvent and removed therewith.
Abstract:
A process of producing reinforced laminates from crosslinkable thermoplastic olefin polymer material. In the process, a normally solid, high molecular weight crosslinkable thermoplastic olefin polymer containing a catalyst which reacts with and effects crosslinking of the polymer and which has a decomposition temperature above the melting temperature of the polymer, is heated to a molten state at a temperature above the polymer melting temperature but below the catalyst decomposition temperature. A continuous nonreinforced sheet is then formed from the molten polymer at a temperature below the decomposition temperature and is applied to at least one surface of a substrate to form a laminate. The laminate is then heated under pressure to a temperature above the decomposition temperature of the catalyst to effect substantially complete crosslinking of the polymer and is cooled to a temperature below the polymer melting temperature to a self-supporting state to fix the shape of the laminate.
