Abstract:
Resistor compositions are disclosed, made from polymer thick film resistor formulations comprising a polyimide component, a sterically hindered hydrophobic epoxy component and a solvent component having a Hanson polar solubility parameter between 2.1 and 3.0 and having a normal boiling point between 210 and 260° C. The weight ratio of polyimide component (“A”) to epoxy component (“B”) is A:B, where A is between and including 1 to 15 and where B is 1.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to compositions and methods for using such compositions to provide protective coatings, particularly of electronic components. Fired-on-foil ceramic capacitors coated with a polybenzoxazole encapsulant which may be embedded in printed wiring boards are disclosed.
Abstract:
Random, melt-processible copolyimides are disclosed herein. These copolyimides are semicrystalline and exhibit recoverable (semi)crystallinity from their melts. Associated processes, which entail either solution polymerization or melt polymerization, for producing and fabricating these copolyimides into useful articles having a predetermined shape are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Nonlinear optical elements are disclosed which comprise a polyimide which is solution and/or melt processible, and a poled NLO dye. Also disclosed is a process for making such elements, and devices in which they can be used. Disclosed NLO dyes include ##STR1##

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.
