Abstract
Abstract High density para-aramid papers comprising 5 to 25 percent, by weight, binder and an amount of para-aramid fibers selected from the group consisting of para-aramid pulp, para-aramid floc and mixtures thereof, compacted to provide a volume percent para-aramid fiber of at least 53 minus 0.13 times the volume percent floc in the paper are useful in the preparation of circuit board substrates having a low coefficient of thermal expansion.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
Process for preparing high density para-aramid paper for use in electrical circuit board laminates having low coefficient of thermal expansion comprising the steps of (1) preparing a 0.01 to 3 percent, by weight, aqueous slurry of para-aramid fibers made up of 0-50 volume percent para-aramid pulp and 50-100 volume percent para-aramid floc having lengths of 0.8 to 12.7 mm, (2) forming a sheet from the slurry using known papermaking methods, (3) drying the thusly formed sheet and (4) calendering the sheet in one or more steps between rigid rolls heated to 125° to 400° C. at a pressure of 1500 to 5000 lbs/inch (268 to 894 kg/cm) nip pressure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
