Chemorheological Characterization of B-Stage Printed Wiring Board Resins
SourceHigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), dynamic mechanical analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been used to characterize printed wiring board B-stage FR-4 epoxy resins. These techniques demonstrate a capability for fingerprinting the formulations and their thermal and rheological behavior. The relation between gelation and viscoelastic properties has also been examined. The results reveal a new and reproducible method of detecting the onset of gelation. The merit of each technique as a quick quality-control method is evaluated.
