Abstract:
A composite material is presented comprised of a ceramic filled fluoropolymer wherein the ceramic is coated with a zirconate coupling agent and/or a titanate coupling agent and the ceramic has a volume % fraction of between about 26-45.
Abstract:
A ceramic filled fluoropolymer-based electrical substrate material well suited for forming rigid printed wiring board substrate materials is presented which exhibits improved electrical performance over other printed wiring board materials. Also, the low coefficients of thermal expansion and compliant nature of this electrical substrate material results in improved surface mount reliability and plated through-hole reliability. The electrical substrate material preferably comprises polytetrafluoroethylene filled with silica along with a small amount microfiberglass. In an important feature of this invention, the ceramic filler (silica) is coated with a silane coating material which renders the surface of the ceramic hydrophobic and provides improved tensile strength, peel strenth and dimensional stability. In addition, even improved results are provided when the silane coating is comprised of a fluorinated silane or a combination of fluorinated and non-fluorinated silanes.
Abstract:
A thermosetting resin composition suitable for forming an insulating layer to be interposed between two adjacent wiring patterns of a multilayer printed wiring board is disclosed which includes a bisphenol AD epoxy resin, an aromatic polyamine, mica having an average particle size of 50 .mu.m or less, and silica having an average particle size of 20 .mu.m or less, the average particle size of the silica being smaller than that of the mica, and the amount of the silica being 20-80% based on the total weight of the silica and the mica.
Abstract:
A resin composition for printed circuit board comprising:(A) 30-90% by weight of a liquid crystal polyester,(B) 3-50% by weight of an inorganic fibrous or acicular material having an average diameter of 15 .mu.m or below and an average length of 200 .mu.m or below, and(C) 3-30% by weight of an alkaline earth metal carbonate.
Abstract:
Polymer/copper laminates and a method for their manufacture employing smooth, untreated, wrought-copper and characterized by cohesive and adhesive strength in the resulting laminates.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit laminate is presented comprising a microglass reinforced fluoropolymer layer sandwiched between a polyimide substrate and a copper conductive pattern. The glass reinforced fluoropolymer acts as a high bond strength adhesive between the polyimide and copper conductive pattern. The glass reinforced fluoropolymer also contributes to improved dimensional stability as well as improved electrical performance. Preferably, the microglass content is between about 4 to about 30 weight percent, and more preferably about 20 weight percent glass. In a method of making the flexible circuit laminate, the polyimide substrate undergoes a preferably alkaline microetching surface treatment, followed by rinsing, drying and lamination to the microglass reinforced fluoropolymer and copper layers.
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.
