Abstract:
Water absorption resistant polyimide/epoxy-based compositions, like pastes (or solutions), are particularly useful to make electronic screen-printable materials and electronic components. A group of hydrophobic epoxies (and soluble polyimides) was discovered to be particularly resistant to moisture absorption. The polyimide/epoxy pastes made with these epoxies (and these polyimides) may optionally contain thermal crosslinking agents, adhesion promoting agents, blocked isocyanates, and other inorganic fillers. The polyimide/epoxy pastes of the present invention can have a glass transition temperature greater than 250° C., a water absorption factor of less than 2%, and a positive solubility measurement.
Abstract:
The invention provides a polyimide film manufactured from a polyamic acid prepared from pyromellitic dianhydride in combination with 10 to 60 mol % of phenylenediamine and 40 to 90 mol % of 3,4′-oxydianiline, based on the overall diamine. The polyimide film, when used as a metal interconnect board substrate in flexible circuits, chip scale packages (CSP), ball grid arrays (BGA) or tape-automated bonding (TAB) tape by providing metal interconnects on the surface thereof, achieves a good balance between a high elastic modulus, a low thermal expansion coefficient, alkali etchability and film formability.
Abstract:
A polyimide copolymer derived from 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride, oxydiphthalic dianhydride, m-phenylene diamine and 4,4'-oxydianiline, for use as a high-temperature resistant lift-off layer in the fabrication of integrated circuit substrates.
Abstract:
Soluble polymeric precursors having oligomeric imide and amic acid segments, which are suitable to form segmented, preferably insoluble, polyimide copolymers.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel polyimide gas separation membranes derived from alicyclic dianhydrides and aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic diamines, and a process for using such membranes.
Abstract:
The present invention uses a silver/silver chloride composition and ink jet technology in the art of digital printing, especially for use in blood glucose sensors.
Abstract:
This invention relates to compositions, and the use of such compositions for protective coatings, particularly of electronic devices. The invention concerns fired-on-foil ceramic capacitors coated with a composite encapsulant and embedded in a printed wiring board.
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to methods for creating circuitry components from binder materials having a hydrophobic phenolic component and a hydrophobic epoxy component. The phenolic/epoxy based liquids, solutions, suspensions and/or pastes can generally be screen printed or otherwise formed on an electronic substrate, pattern or device, to provide an electronic component having low water sorption properties.
Abstract:
Water absorption resistant polyimide pastes (or solutions), are particularly useful to make electronic screen printable pastes and the electronic components made from these pastes. A group of soluble polyimides and their solvents were discovered to be particularly resistant to moisture absorption. These polyimide solutions optionally contain polyimides also containing cross-linkable monomers and/or thermal cross-linking agents. In addition, these polyimide pastes may optionally contain adhesion promoting agents, blocked isocyanates, metals, metal oxides, and other inorganic fillers. The polyimide pastes (or solutions) of the present invention have a polyimide with a glass transition temperature greater than 250° C., have a water absorption factor of less than 2%, and a have a positive solubility measurement.
