Abstract: Processes for laminating a conductive-lubricant coated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are disclosed. An example laminated PCB may include a lamination stack that may further include a core, an adhesive layer, and at least one graphene-metal structure or at least one hexagonal Boron Nitride metal (h-BN-metal) structure. The materials of the PCB may change in accordance with the invention described herein, including the materials of the core, the materials of the conductive-lubricant coatings, or the metal layers of the conductive-lubricant-metal structures. Doping processes for each change in materials used are also described herein. The conductive-lubricant of the conductive-lubricant-metal structure will promote high frequency performance and heat management within the PCB. Furthermore, a removal process of those materials post-lamination is described herein to promote protection of materials and subsequent removal of protective layers without breakage or tearing.
