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.
Abstract:
A laminate comprising at least one inorganic or organic fiber nonwoven fabric impregnated with a cyanic acid ester resin composition, at least one glass fabric impregnated with an epoxy resin composition, and at least one of the outermost layers being the glass fabric impregnated with an epoxy resin composition.
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.
