Estimating the term…
A laminate has at least two layers, at least one of which comprises a polymer having more than one perfluorocyclobutane group. Such polymers impart qualities of enviornmental or protection, chemical and solvent resistance, hydrolytic stability, lubricity, low dielectric, hydrostatic stability, weatherability, flame resistance, chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, lubricity, environmental protection, scratch resistance, solvent resistance, surface passivation, water repellancy, lower surface refractive index, lower surface coefficient of friction, fluid barrier properties, oil repellancy, thermal stability, and/or reduced moisture pick-up. Additionally, the coatings are optically clear, easy to apply either neat, in a solvent or otherwise, have relatively low cure temperatures for their temperature resistance, and exhibit insulating and planarizing capabilities.
A laminate having at least two layers at least one of which comprises a matrix phase based on a polymer characterized by having more than one perfluorocyclobutane ring or an interpolymer of at least one compound having at least one perfluorocyclobutane ring and at least two functional groups reactive with di- or poly, functional compounds.
The laminate of claim 14 wherein the polymer having more than one perfluorocyclobutane group segregates from the material having a different composition such that it imparts thereto increased flame resistance, chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, lubricity, environmental protection, scratch resistance, solvent resistance, surface passivation, water repellancy, lower surface refractive index, lower surface coefficient of friction, fluid barrier properties, oil repellancy, thermal stability, or reduced moisture pick-up over the same property the material would have in the absence of the polymer having more than one perfluorocyclobutane group.
