Materials for Rigid and Flexible Printed Wiring Boards presents important manufacturing information and material properties for reinforcement materials, resins, flexible films, copper foils, rigid laminates, high-speed/high-frequency laminates, and metal core and constraining core materials.

Features:

• Collects data on all the appropriate materials for flexible and rigid printed wiring boards
• Evaluates the properties and performance of materials to meet specific application requirements
• Presents mainly typical values of material data gathered mostly from manufacturer's data sheets
• Covers the materials used for each layer of a circuit board as well as the bonding materials and methods used to join them
