June 11, 2018 | IsolaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Isola Group, the leading global and local manufacturer of copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepregs for use in the PCB boards announces it will exhibit at the IMS Exhibition June 11-14, 2018 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. Isola will display in booth #2125.
“Microwave Week presents an excellent opportunity for fabricators and OEMs to explore the unique RF/Microwave products developed by Isola.” commented Sean Mirshafiei, Vice President of Global Marketing. Additionally, “We are very pleased with the wide breadth of interest in our materials, and are anxious to collaborate with customers to address unmet market needs.”
“For example, our ultra-low loss Astra® MT77 laminate is designed for 77+ GHz radar applications. It is the best price and best performance Teflon® replacement material currently on the market. Additionally, Isola’s I-Tera® MT40 laminate is an exciting, high performance material for 24-77+ GHz radar and RF/Microwave applications,” Mirshafiei continued.
Isola will showcase these two materials in addition to their successful TerraGreen laminate, the industry’s first very low loss halogen-free material and their best performing antenna-grade material – IS680 AG.
The annual IMS Exhibition is held in conjunction with the IMS, RFIC, and ARFTG technical symposia and brings all segments of the microwave community together. It is the premier international gathering for anyone involved in technologies associated with RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and THz frequencies.
“We invite all attendees looking for high-performance, value-laden laminates to visit us in Booth #2125. Our knowledgeable materials experts and engineers look forward to discussing your needs and our solutions,” Mirshafiei concluded.

Driving Innovation: Selecting the Right Laser Source
04/28/2026 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationWhen I first joined Schmoll Maschinen, I brought experience from almost every PCB process, except for laser. As I immersed myself in laser processing, I realized why it can seem so daunting to a newcomer. The complexity arises from three intersecting factors: A vast variety of laser sources: CO2, UV-nano, green-pico, UV-pico, IR-pico, and others; a diverse range of applications: Drilling, cutting, ablation, and more; and an extensive list of materials: These have vastly different absorption rates. Choosing the right machine or laser source is rarely trivial. Even for experienced engineers, answering "Which source is best?" requires examining the business's specific goals.
Institute of Circuit Technology Spring Seminar 2026: A Bright Future in Europe
04/23/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Through the leafy lanes and spring flowers of Warwickshire and back to Meridan, the traditional centre of England, and now officially part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the county of the West Midlands, I attended the Annual General Meeting and Spring Seminar of the Institute of Circuit Technology (ICT) on April 14. Out of the AGM came notable changes in leadership at the top of the Institute: the retirement of Mat Beadel as chair and Emma Hudson as technical director. Effective May 1, Steve Driver is the new chair, and Alun Morgan is the new technical director.
ACCM Unveils Negative and Near-zero CTE Materials for Large-Format AI Chips

(ACCM) has launched two new materials: Celeritas HM50, with a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of -8 ppm/°C to offset the positive CTE and expansion of copper with temperature on circuit boards, and Celeritas HM001, with near-zero CTE and the low-loss performance needed for high-speed signal layers to 224 Gb/s and faster in artificial intelligence (AI) circuits.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing PCBs for Harsh Environments—Reliability Is Engineered Upstream
04/23/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen engineers hear the phrase “harsh environment,” they usually think of the extreme temperature swings, vibration and shock, pressure changes, or radiation in aerospace. However, aerospace is not the only harsh environment where electronic assemblies must survive. Automotive power electronics, downhole oil and gas tools, marine controls, rail systems, defense platforms, and industrial automation equipment all expose PCBs to environments that are equally unforgiving. The stress mechanisms may differ, but the physics does not.
