Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional printed circuit boards using fluorine-based polymer resins have low dimensional stability and poor impregnation characteristics, leading to reliability issues during manufacturing, and thermoplastic fluorinated polymer resins deform during laminating processes.

Innovation Solution

A thermosetting composition comprising a liquid crystal oligomer, a bismaleimide-based compound, and a fluorinated polymer resin powder is developed, which provides excellent heat resistance, impregnation characteristics, and low dielectric properties, improving dimensional stability and workability.
