525124, 525 68, 525 69, 5253337

Abstract:

Thermosetting polymers and the electrical laminates made therefrom are disclosed. The polymer comprises the cross-linked product of: a) one or more ethylenically unsaturated aromatic monomers, optionally containing a halogenated monomer to impart fire retardation, and b) a vinyl-terminated polybutadiene or butadiene-styrene copolymer containing either a urethane or an ester group. It has been discovered that an unexpected combination of thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties are obtained from the composition recited herein. The composition is ideally suited as a matrix polymer for electrical substrate applications.

US Patent:

Filed:

Dec 30, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/367018

Inventors:

Scott A. Lane - Memphis TN
Charlie F. Yancey - Germantown TN

Assignee:

Alpha Corporation - Collierville TN

International Classification:

B01J 3106

US Classification:

502159

Abstract:

The inventive method provides a simple and economical method of manufacturing a laminate which is catalytically effective for subsequent electroless deposition thereon of metals, such as copper, and which is useful as a substrate for printed circuit boards. Advantageously, the inventive method provides an improved laminate having a substantially uniform distribution of finely divided catalytic metal, Me. sub. (0), within a crosslinked synthetic polymer impregnant. A catalytic metal-polymer complex is formed between a salt of a catalytic metal and a crosslinkable synthetic polymer, optionally containing a monomeric reactive diluent, to provide a concentrate which may be worked up into an impregnating composition for impregnating reinforcing material therewith. The complex is then destroyed and the catalytic metal, such as palladium-II, reduced to elemental metal, such as palladium metal, Pd. sub. (0), during or after crosslinking of the polymer system under conditions effective for crosslinking the polymer system.
