  • Patent number: 5414059
    Abstract: A resinous material for the manufacture of printed circuit boards is obtained by (a) treating a mixture of bromine- and nonbromine-containing epoxy resins with a secondary diamine such as 5,5-dimethyl hydantion or barbituric acid in the presence of a tertiary amine catalyst to form a modified epoxy resin; (b) heating the modified epoxy resin and a polyisocyanate in the presence of an encyclization catalyst; and (c) dissolving the resulting product in a solvent with a curing agent to form a B-stage prepreg varnish.

  • Patent number: 5326794
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a high glass transition temperature printed circuit board comprising blending a modified bismaleimide resin into a modified epoxy resin is disclosed. Particularly the material is manufactured by blending a bismaleimide resin reacted with barbituric acid and its derivative thereof and an epoxy resin with an oxazolidone ring resulting from the reaction of a polyisocyanate and an epoxy resin modified with a secondary diamine and followed by curing. The resultant product has a high glass transition temperature, a good adhesion, flame retardancy, and a low bromine content.

  • Patent number: 5217599
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for electroplating a metal sheet adapted for being used in electronic packaging material, such as printed circuit boards. Bismaleimide and its derivative are added into the plated solution so as to form insoluble particles of bismaleimide and its derivatives on the surface of the metal sheet. The resulting metal sheet is particularly adapted for being bonded to a polyimide film for the preparation of, for example, a printed circuit board. Also disclosed is a method of bonding the metal sheet of the present invention to a polyimide substrate. Precursor of polyimide are coated on the surface of the plate metal sheet and then thermal imidizing of the precursors takes place. No additional adhesives are needed for this bonding.

  • Patent number: 5112926
    Abstract: This invention provides a epoxy resin composition for structual substrate of PCB comprising a triazine-modified bisphenol A epoxy resin reacted with a multi-functional epoxy resin, a brominated epoxy resin, a curing agent and a curing promoter to form a cured product with excellent thermal resistance (Tg is about 170.degree.-220.degree. C. and mostly higher than 180.degree. C.) as well as good drilling properties and good toughness.Besides, it has comparable electrical and physical properties as the commercially available FR-4 printed circuit boards.

  • Patent number: 5041519
    Abstract: This invention relates to a resin composition which is used for the production of printed circuit boards. The feature of said resin composition is to add barbituric acid or its derivatives to a bismaleimide resin, and mixed in a solvent or solvent system. The mixture is then added with epoxy resin and suitable amount of curing agent to form the required resin composition. The resin composition has high glass transition temperature and good toughness and other physical and electrical properties. Meanwhile, it would not cause phase separation, so is a high-performance material for the production of printed circuit boards.
