  • Adhesion method
    Publication number: 20040161545
    Abstract: A primer composed of a polymer solution is applied to a roughened metal surface, and a polymer material such as a pre-preg is applied to the treated metal surface to form a bond between the metal and the polymer material.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 16, 2003
    Publication date: August 19, 2004
    Applicant: Shipley Company, L.L.C.
    Inventors: Joseph R. Montano, James G. Shelnut
  • Process for treating adhesion promoted metal surfaces
    Patent number: 6752878
    Abstract: A method for treating a micro-roughened metal surface to improve bonding between the metal surface and a polymer material. The method involves post-treating the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an aqueous wetting agent composition after having formed the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an adhesion promotion composition. The method can be employed in the circuit board industry to improve bonding between layers in multilayer circuit boards.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 22, 2004
    Assignee: Shipley Company, L.L.C.
    Inventors: Joseph R. Montano, Wade Sonnenberg, Mark J. Kapeckas
  • Process for treating adhesion promoted metal surfaces with an organo-silcon post-treatment
    Patent number: 6743303
    Abstract: A method for treating a micro-roughened metal surface to improve bonding between the metal surface and a polymer material. The method involves post-treating the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an aqueous organo-silicon wetting composition after having formed the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an adhesion promotion composition. Suitable organo-silicons include organosilanes, organosiloxanes, organosilizanes and the like. The method can be employed in the circuit board industry to improve bonding between layers in multilayer circuit boards.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2004
    Assignee: Shipley Company, L.L.C.
    Inventors: Joseph R. Montano, John P. Cahalen
  • Process for treating adhesion promoted metal surfaces with epoxy resins
    Patent number: 6616976
    Abstract: A method for treating a micro-roughened metal surface to improve bonding between the metal surface and a polymer material. The method involves post-treating the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an epoxy resin composition after having formed the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an adhesion promotion composition. The method can be employed in the circuit board industry to improve bonding between innerlayers in a multiplayer circuit board.
