Abstract:
Homogeneous thermoset copolymers which may be used in the preparation of laminates for circuitry boards will comprise a poly(vinyl benzyl ether) of a polyphenol and a polyalkadiene in which the alkadiene monomer will contain from 3 to about 8 carbon atoms. The polymers are prepared by admixing a solution of the poly(vinyl benzyl ether) of a polyphenol dissolved in an organic solvent with a solution of the polyalkadiene also dissolved in an organic solvent. The admixing is done at an elevated temperature to form the desired composite. The resulting copolymer will possess desirable characteristics such as high glass transition temperature and low dielectric constant.
Abstract:
An improved aerogel and a process for production of the same. The improved aerogel which has a significantly reduced dust (e.g., aerogel fines) and static charge, as compared with conventional aerogel products. The aerogel also has a “sticky” or “tacky” nature which can be used to attract any available dust, fines and/or particulate matter and also restrict flowability of aerogel granules, for example, out of a breached container and thereby minimize loss of the aerogel product through any breached opening.
Abstract:
Flame retardant compositions that are halogen-free or substantially halogen-free are disclosed. In certain examples, the compositions comprise a halogen-free or substantially halogen-free epoxide and one or more phosphorated compounds. In some examples, the phosphorated compound comprises an average particle size less than 10 microns. In other examples, the phosphorated compound provides a surface area of 78.5 μm2 to about 1965 μm2. Prepregs, laminates, molded articles and printed circuit boards using the compositions are also disclosed.

Flame retardant compositions that are halogen-free or substantially halogen-free are disclosed. In certain examples, the compositions comprise a polyphenylene ether, a halogen-free or substantially halogen-free polyepoxide, and one or more phosphorated compounds. Prepregs, laminates, molded articles and printed circuit boards using the compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for measuring the degree of cure of a resin in a composite material such as a prepreg. The method employs an infrared spectrometer device determining frequency absorbance information of selective frequencies which are representative of the degree of cure of the resin comprised within the prepreg. The method is adaptable for use in on-line production processes for the production of such composite materials.

Abstract:
Novel compositions of matter comprise homogeneous thermoset copolymers resulting from the reaction between a poly(vinyl benzyl ether) of a polyphenol and a dicyanate ester of a polyether of a polyphenol may be used as components in laminates which are employed in electronic circuit boards. The copolymers will impart desirable characteristics such as high glass transition temperatures and low dielectric constants to the finished product.
