About this technology
Overview
The Polymers Branch at Glenn Research Center's extensive knowledge of polyimide chemistry and its expertise in the synthesis of ultraviolet light curable polyimides was the critical component that allowed Advanced Coatings International, of Akron, Ohio, to prototype the platform chemistry for a polyimide-based, waterborne, liquid photoimagable coating ideal for the manufacture of printed circuit boards.
