Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If polyolefin resin is used to achieve good dielectric properties, then dielectric loss is reduced, but peel strength decreases due to fewer reactive groups and weaker intermolecular forces after curing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedielectric lossVSAvoidpeel strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines polyolefin resin with reactive rubber components and curing agents to create a composite adhesive layer. This composite structure allows the material to simultaneously achieve low dielectric loss from the polyolefin and high peel strength from the reactive crosslinked network formed by the rubber and curing agent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the adhesive layer composition by incorporating specific ratios of polyolefin resin, reactive rubber, and curing agents. By changing the chemical composition parameters and curing conditions, the material achieves both low dielectric loss and high peel strength through optimized intermolecular forces and crosslinking density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional resin composition is used to achieve adequate adhesion, then manufacturing is simplified, but film-forming properties are insufficient for high-performance circuit boards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidfilm-forming properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a curing agent as an intermediary substance that facilitates the crosslinking reaction between the polyolefin resin and reactive rubber. This intermediary enables the formation of a robust film structure with excellent film-forming properties while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process through conventional curing methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If high filler content is used to achieve structural stability, then board strength is improved, but dielectric loss increases and peel strength decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddielectric loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the filler component from the adhesive layer formulation, focusing instead on creating a polymer-based adhesive system with polyolefin resin and reactive rubber. This extraction eliminates the dielectric loss and peel strength problems associated with fillers while maintaining structural stability through the crosslinked polymer network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
