Abstract :
A new test method has been developed to understand the performance of aramid paper in contact with copper. Basic property tests might suggest products in the same chemical family would deliver equivalent performance. This thermal degradation testing method can be used to quantify performance differences between products and allow the designer to select the proper product for the application.
