Abstract
Abstract This invention provides improved prepregs for producing laminates and improved laminates using such prepregs. Processes for producing the prepregs and the laminates are also provided. Processes for producing the prepreg include the steps of providing a dipping solution or suspension comprising a polynorbornene polymer, a polyolefin polymer derived from C 2 -C 4 monomers, and a solvent followed by impregnating a non-cellulosic cloth with the solution. The solvent is removed from the cloth to form the prepreg. Printed circuit boards are also provided by a process which includes the steps of providing such a prepreg and pretreating the surface of a conductive film with a solution of a silane compound, effective to increase the bond strength between the copper foil and the prepreg, followed by laminating the prepreg to the conductive film.
