Bill,

There are a number of adhesive suppliers either selling material or
who are in development & providing samples. Most include films in their
ranges. They include:

Hitachi, who are one of the "big names" for this technology, having various
grades of mainly thermosetting material available.

Alpha Metals Advanced Products also have various products (mostly
thermoplastic) and including array as well as random materials.

Dexter, Three Bond, Nippon Graphite, AIT and Creative Materials also have
product available.

Ablestick and Loctite - not sure if anything commercially avaialable, but
both have/are working on it (Loctite working on novel array mats as well
as random fill).


Without knowing more about what you want to do I couldn't begin to suggest
which might be suitable - this is very much a "horses for courses" situation.

p.s. there is a major International Symposium on Polymeric Electronics Packaging
taking place in Sweden, Oct 26-30 which could be a good opportunity to find out
more about these materials.
