Abstract:
There are disclosed synthetic mica papers, substrates produced by laminating such papers, and use of the substrates in printed circuit assemblies. The mica paper is composed primarily of overlapping, ion-exchanged platelets of a synthetic, lithium and/or sodium, water-swelling mica, and is impregnated with an organic resin.
Abstract:
A prepreg useful as the core in flame resistant cooper clad, composite, printed circuit boards is made by impregnating a porous substrate with an impregnant containing: either a brominated epoxy or epoxy resin and reactive flame retarding additive containing bromine and phenolic hydroxyl groups (e.g., tetrabromobisphenol A), phenolic novolac oligomer as curing agent, unsaturated epoxidized oil, and optionally, a suitable catalyst; and then heating the impregnated substrate to the "B"-stage.
Abstract:
A metallized, laminated substrate well adapted for the production of printed circuits is comprised of:(A) an electrically insulating support element which comprises (a) a central core member comprising a major proportion by weight of a cellulosic or mica filler and a minor proportion by weight of a thermosetting resin, and (b) and (b') a pair of skin laminae coextensively secured to each face surface, respectively, of said central core (a) each of said skin laminae comprising a fibrous glass, asbestos or heat-stable synthetic polymer reinforcing filler, and a thermosetting resin impregnant, which thermosetting resin may either be the same as or different from the thermosetting resin comprising said central core member (a); and(B) an electrically conducting metal foil (c) coextensively adhered to the exposed face surface of one or the other of said skin laminae (b) or (b').
Abstract:
A resin impregnated, B-staged sheet material free of crystal formations, useful for metal clad and unclad laminate production, is made by impregnating a sheet containing a resin comprising epoxy resin and an amount of curing agent effective to cure the epoxy resin to the C-stage, where the curing agent consists essentially of the reaction product of dicyandiamide and an aminophylic reagent selected from the group consisting of aldehydes, alkyl monoglycidyl ethers having the formula: ##STR1## where R=an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, styrene oxide, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, acetic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, acetyl chloride, and mixtures thereof, and then heating the impregnated sheet until the resin is in the B-stage.
Abstract:
In preparing an epoxy resin laminate sheet by impregnating a nonwoven fabric of glass fiber with an epoxy resin to form a prepreg, laminating a predetermined number of so formed prepregs and pressing, while heating, the laminate, when the nonwoven fabric of glass fiber to be used as a substrate is treated with a liquid mixture containing a water-soluble phenol resin and a silane coupler prior to the impregnation step, a laminate sheet suitable for formation of a printed circuit board can be obtained at a low manufacturing cost. The so formed laminate sheet not only has excellent heat resistance, drilling workability and punching workability at room temperature but also is characterized by such an excellent property that when it is subjected to the boiling water treatment, the degree of reduction of electric properties such as the insulation resistance is very small and whitening of the substrate is not caused to occur.
Abstract:
A method of improving the dimensional and thermal stability of a fibrous web containing substrate is disclosed. A uniformly or randomly spun or bonded fabric or textile support is impregnated with a curable polymer resin, e.g., an epoxy-polyester resin. The impregnated resin is then fully cured whereupon a polymer resin coat is applied thereto. The coat is maintained in a partial cure state whereby a laminate comprising an internal woven or bonded fabric skeleton impregnated with a fully cured polymer resin and coated with a layer of a partially cured polymer resin is obtained.
Abstract:
A punchable printed circuit board base laminate formed by laminating thermosetting resin impregnated woven glass fiber sheets in which the glass yarn filament diameters are between about 3 and 14 microns to the surfaces of a thermosetting resin impregnated nonwoven fiber glass core, the fibers of which have diameters in the range of 0.2 to 14 microns and lengths of between 1/32 and 1/4 inch, the laminate thickness being from 1/32 to about 3/32 of which the core thickness is about from 50 to 90 percent.
