Abstract

Initial results for the continuous microwave processing of wide webs using a new microwave applicator are presented. The results show that acceptable uniformity can be obtained using this system and that with the appropriate controls, a very tight process window can be maintained to produce preimpregnated glass cloth (prepreg) for use in circuit board manufacture.
