Abstract
Abstract A composite is provided which is adaptable to be a substrate for an electronic application. The composite comprises first material particles having a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of about -20×10 -7 to about 50×10 -7 in/in/° C. Second material particles having a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of about 100×10 -7 to about 200×10 -7 in/in/° C. are mixed with the first material particles. A bonding agent adheres the first and second material particles into a coherent composite having a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of about 1×10 -7 to about 50×10 -7 in/in/° C.
