  • Publication number: 20130011645
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multilayer film for electronic circuitry applications, having advantageous barrier properties against unwanted electron and electromagnetic wave interference, and also protection against dirt or other similar-type unwanted foreign matter interference. The multilayer films of the present disclosure have at least three layers. The first outer layer contains a base polymer, a carbon black filler or pigment and a dielectric filler. The core layer is a polymer with less than 5 weight percent filler. The second outer is similar to the first outer layer and contains a base polymer, a low conductivity carbon black filler or pigment and a dielectric filler. The two outer layers can be the same or different. Optionally, additional layers can also be used between the two outer layers.

  • Patent number: 8319299
    Abstract: A process for forming at least one transistor on a substrate is described. The substrate comprises a polyimide and a nanoscopic filler. The polyimide is derived substantially or wholly from rigid rod monomers and the nanoscopic filler has an aspect ratio of at least 3:1. The substrates of the present disclosure are particularly well suited for thin film transistor applications, due at least in part to high resistance to hygroscopic expansion and relatively high levels of thermal and dimensional stability.
