Abstract: An aramid paper suitable for use in electronic applications which has a density of 0.20-0.65 g/cm3 and a grammage of 30-280 g/m2, which paper comprises 10-40 wt. % of aramid shortcut with a linear density of 2.6 dtex or lower and a length of 0.5-25 mm and 10-90 wt. % of aramid fibrid, wherein the aramid shortcut comprises at least 70 wt. % para-aramid shortcut and the aramid fibrid including at least 70 wt. % para-aramid fibrid. It has been found that the use of a paper with the above properties in electronic applications ensures a low CTE in combination with good homogeneity and a good dimensional stability resulting from good resin adhesion and penetration. Use of the aramid paper in a composite sheet including at least one layer of aramid paper and a resin, or in a substrate board for electronic applications.

Abstract: A sheet material includes 30-70 wt. % of aramid pulp, 30-70 wt. % of a fire-retardant short fiber material selected from para-aramid, glass fibers, carbon fibers, and PEEK (polyether etherketone), and 0.5-15 wt. % of a polymer binder, wherein the sheet material is a non-woven sheet material having an areal weight of 10-70 g/m2. The sheet material is soft, pliable, and light weight. It can be applied as backing onto upholstery material without detrimentally affecting the properties thereof. At the same time, the sheet material has very good fire-retardant properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a paper comprising at least one of a fiber, pulp, fibril, floc, and fibrid having a polybenzazole structure with a repeating unit of formula (I) and/or (II) or its precursor structure with a repeating unit of formula (III): wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are independently a para or meta aromatic group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, X and Y are the same or different and selected from O, S, and NH; and n is 0 or 1, and wherein the paper is free or essentially free of non-extractable phosphorus compound. The paper is particularly suitable for making an electrical insulation material, a honeycomb structure, or a constructive material.
