Two Component Injecton Moulding For Moulded Interconnect Devices

The moulded interconnect devices (MIDs) contain huge possibilities for many applications in electro- mechanical-systems because of their potential in reducing the number of components, process steps and finally in miniaturization of the product. Among the available MID process chains, two component (2k) injection moulding is one of the most industrially adaptive processes. However, the use of two component injection moulding for MID fabrication, with circuit patterns in sub-millimeter range, is still a big challenge. This book searches for the technical difficulties associated with the process and makes attempts to overcome those challenges. In search of suitable polymer materials for MIDs, potential materials are characterized in terms of polymer-polymer bond strength, polymer- polymer interface quality and selective metallization. The experimental results find the factors which can control the quality of 2k moulded parts and metallized MIDs. This book presents documented knowledge about MID process chains, 2k moulding and selective metallization which can valuable source of information for both academic and industrial users.
