In an embodiment, an electromagnetic device, comprises a substrate a substrate comprising a dielectric layer and a first conductive layer; at least one dielectric structure comprising at least one non-gaseous dielectric material that forms a first dielectric portion that extends outward from the first side of the substrate, the first dielectric portion having an average dielectric constant and an optional second dielectric portion that extends into an optional via. The at least one dielectric structure is bonded to the substrate by at least one of: a mechanical interlock between the second dielectric portion and the substrate due to the at least one interlocking slot comprising a retrograde surface; an intermediate layer located in between the dielectric structure and the substrate having a roughened surface; or an adhesive material located in between the dielectric structure and the substrate. A method of making the device can comprise injection molding a dielectric composition onto the substrate to form the dielectric substrate.

A conductive, moldable composite material for the manufacture of electrochemical cell components comprising a thermosetting resin system and conductive filler wherein the thermosetting resin composition comprises: (1) a polybutadiene or polyisoprene resin; (2) an optional functionalized liquid polybutadiene or polyisoprene resin; (3) an optional butadiene- or isoprene-containing copolymer; and (4) an optional low molecular weight polymer. In a preferred embodiment, the conductive moldable composite material is used to form a bipolar plate, current collector or other electrochemical cell component. Articles made of the conductive moldable composite material are resistant to chemical attack and hydrolysis, have excellent mechanical strength and toughness, have a volume resistivity of about 0.116 ohm-cm or less and preferably about 0.04 ohm-cm or less and a thermal conductivity of at least about 5 watts/meter &deg; K.

Thermosetting composition for electrochemical cell components and methods of making thereof

Articles are formed from a thermosetting composition based on polybutadiene or polyisoprene resins which are subjected to a high temperature cure step of greater than 250&deg; C. The thermosetting compositions may include fillers such as particulate ceramic fillers and may also include woven webs for improved dimensional stability and decreased brittleness. The formation process of this invention is particularly well suited for making electrical circuit substrates for microwave and digital circuits, typically in the form of the thermosetting composition being laminated on one or both opposed surfaces to metal conductive foil (e.g., copper). The compositions find particular utility for encapsulating and electrically insulating electrical resistance heating elements for use with fluids.

Heating elements comprising polybutadiene and polyisoprene based thermosetting compositions

A phenolic compound having improved retention of useful properties over long periods of time at elevated temperatures is presented. The novel phenolic compound, preferably a glass reinforced phenol-formaldehyde with mineral fillers has incorporated therein elastomers which primarily undergo crosslinking on oxidative aging, such as butadiene based rubbers, and/or molecular sulfur or sulfur donor components. These additives unexpectedly retard thermal degradation with time of aging and provide exceptionally good retention of weight, molded dimensions and mechanical properties.
