AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing insulating materials for printed circuit boards and automotive components face challenges in achieving low dielectric constants, low dielectric dissipation factors, high glass transition temperatures, and low coefficients of thermal expansion, which are essential for preventing delamination and maintaining structural integrity under harsh conditions.

Method used

Polymers comprising two or more polycyclic olefin monomers, at least one with an olefinic functional group, are used to form insulating materials with improved dielectric and thermal properties, including films, composites, and prepregs, through vinyl addition polymerization, allowing for crosslinking and high-temperature stability.

Benefits of technology

The polymers exhibit low dielectric constants (2.2 to 3.0 at 10 GHz), low dielectric dissipation factors (0.001 to 0.002 at 10 GHz), and coefficients of thermal expansion (50 ppm/K), enabling high glass transition temperatures (150°C to 280°C) and stable performance in extreme conditions.
