Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
A laminate comprising in order ( 1) a layer of copper, (2) a layer of fluoropolymer selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro (propyl vinyl ether), a terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and perfluoro (propyl vinyl ether) and a terpolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and perfluoro (ethyl vinyl ether) which is reinforced with a woven or nonwoven fabric of polyaramid fiber, such that the volume percent of polyaramid on the basis of the total of the polyaramid plus fluoropolymer is less than about 40, and (3) a second layer of copper with the proviso: (a) a layer of copper oxide, zinc or brass is intermediate and contacts both layers (1) and (2), or (b) a layer of copper oxide contacts layer (1) and a layer of zinc or brass is intermediate and contacts both the layer of copper oxide and layer (2) or (c) layer (1) contacts layer (2) and with the further proviso: (d) a layer of copper oxide, zinc or brass is intermediate and contacts both layers (2) and (3), or (e) a layer of copper oxide contacts layer (3) and a layer of zinc or brass is intermediate and contacts both the layer of copper oxide and layer (2), or (f) layer (2) contacts layer (3).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
