Aramid paper suitable for use in electronic applications

Abstract

An aramid paper suitable for use in electronic applications which has a density of 0.20-0.65 g/cm3 and a grammage of 30-280 g/m2, which paper comprises 10-40 wt. % of aramid shortcut with a linear density of 2.6 dtex or lower and a length of 0.5-25 mm and 10-90 wt. % of aramid fibrid, wherein the aramid shortcut comprises at least 70 wt. % para-aramid shortcut and the aramid fibrid including at least 70 wt. % para-aramid fibrid. It has been found that the use of a paper with the above properties in electronic applications ensures a low CTE in combination with good homogeneity and a good dimensional stability resulting from good resin adhesion and penetration. Use of the aramid paper in a composite sheet including at least one layer of aramid paper and a resin, or in a substrate board for electronic applications.
