2. Related Art of the Invention
Polyimide is prepared by reaction of tetracarboxylic dianhydride with diamine. Conventionally known polyimide has an essential characteristic of high heat resistance, is additionally excellent in mechanical strengths, chemical resistance and dimensional stability, and also has flame retardance and electrical insulation property. Consequently, polyimide has been used in electric and electronic fields, particularly in the field where heat resistance is required, and is expected in the future to be used in other application fields and in increased amounts.
Polyimide having excellent characteristics has conventionally been developed. However, conventionally known polyimide has no distinct glass transition temperature though excellent in heat resistance and hence must be processed by such means as sintering in the case of being used as a molded article. In other cases, polyimide is soluble in halogenated hydrocarbon solvents and causes problems on solvent resistance though excellent in processability. Thus, both merits and drawbacks have been found in the properties of polyimide.
Recently, polyimide having improved properties or having a novel performance has been developed in order to extend the utilization fields of polyimide. For example, there has been developed a thermoplastic polyimide of the formula (A): ##STR3##
The polyimide has been disclosed by Proger et al. as a heat resistant adhesive in U.S. Pat. No. 4,065,345. Ohta et al. have provided the polyimide with a new performance of injection ability by controlling the molecular weight of the polymer and capping the reactive end of the polymer chain in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Hei 2-018419.
Development in microelectronics has recently been remarkable in the electric and electronic field. Development research has been extensively conducted in particular on the insulation material for use in a multi-layered circuit substrate. In organic materials applied to the field, polyimide in particular is used as a suitable material for insulation because of excellent heat resistance and dimensional stability and a low dielectric constant as compared with inorganic materials. The dielectric constant of presently marketed polyimide resin is, however, unsatisfactory. For example, polyimide KAPTON (Trade Mark) prepared from 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and pyromellitic dianhydride has a dielectric constant of 3.6 at 1 KHz, the polyimide UPILEX (Trade Mark) prepared from 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride has a dielectric constant of 3.5 at 1 MHz, and the polyimide LARC-TP1 (Trade Mark) prepared from 3,3'-diaminobenzophenone and benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride has a dielectric constant of 3.7 at 1 MHz. Polyimide resin has already been used for an insulation material of a flexible printed-circuit substrate. High integration of an electronic circuit has recently been more extended, and accordingly, improvement in electrical characteristics, for example, lowering of the dielectric constant has been strongly desired. Practically, insulation materials having a low dielectric constant of 3.0 or less, preferably about 2.8 have been desired.
Particularly in large-sized computers, high speed transfer of signals by use of 2 multi-layered circuit substrates is inevitable. However, a high dielectric constant of the circuit material leads to a transfer lag of signals and inhibits high speed transfer. Polyimide is used for an interlayer insulation film in multi-layered wiring. Accordingly, attention has been focused to develop polyimide having a low dielectric constant in particular in addition to the above characteristics of conventional polyimide.
Teflon resin has been known as a resin having a low dielectric constant. Investigations for decreasing the dielectric constant has also been carried out on polyimide having heat resistance and other various excellent properties as an engineering polymer. Reduction of a dielectric constant by introduction of fluorine or a fluoro radical into the structure of polyimide has been reported, for example, in A.K. st. Clair et al. Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering, 59, 28.about.32 (1988) and EP 0299865.
That is, introduction of a fluorine atom into the molecular unit of polyimide has been known as a means of reducing the dielectric constant of polyimide. In order to achieve such object, an aromatic diamino compound having a hexafluoroisopropylidene radical has been disclosed as a polyimide monomer used for preparing materials of low dielectric constant (Japanese Laid-open Patent Hei 1-190652).
These aromatic diamine compounds, however, require many steps in preparation and also have problems in industry that the resultant polyimide resin has insufficient melt-flowability in processing.
An aromatic diamino compound which has a biphenyl structure and a trifluoromethyl radical in the molecule is, for example, 4,4'-bis(3-trifluoromethyl-4-aminophenoxy) biphenyl of the formula (B): ##STR4##
The compound, however, has an electron absorbing trifluoromethyl radical in the ortho position to an amino radical and is hence known that the compound is difficult to react with acid anhydride due to an electric factor and is difficult to increase the degree of polymerization.
Since the amino group is located in the para position to the connecting radical, the resulting polyimide has a rigid structure and causes a problem of difficulty in processing.
Other fluorine containing polyimides having low dielectric constant have conventionally been proposed, for example, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Hei 1-182324, 2-60933, 2-281037 and 4-122729. These polymides are very expensive or difficult to manufacture in industry and it is hence desired to develop a polyimide which is free from these disadvantages and has a low dielectric constant.
Development of plastics having excellent transparency in addition to a low dielectric constant has also been carried out extensively in order to obtain engineering plastics applied to the electric and electronic fields. A plastic which has excellent transparency and is widely used is polycarbonate of the formula (C): ##STR5##
The plastic, however, has low glass transition temperature of about 150.degree. C. and hence heat resistance is unsatisfactory. Another known transparent resin is polyether sulfone of the formula (D): ##STR6##
The resin, however, has a sulfonyl radical which has a high hygroscopic property and thus cannot be used for electric and electronic materials which must be free from moisture.
Further, various kinds of transparent polyimide have also been developed. For example, polyimide having an excellent yellowness index has been disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open patent Hei 1-182324 and has the formula (E): ##STR7##
However, the polyimide also has a problem of hygroscopic property due to the presence of a sulfonyl radical as in the case of the above polyether sulfone.
Problems generally found in polyimide resins have been coloration and higher dielectric constant: than other resins such as Teflon which has a low dielectric constant.
Coloration is a very important problem in the development of optical communication cables and optical materials such as filters and liquid crystals which are used for construction of a highly heat-resistant and reliable communication system. Practically, the yellowness index (hereinafter referred to as YI) is used as a parameter of yellowness. YI is 129 for the polyimide KAPTON (Trade Mark) prepared from 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and pyromellitic dianhydride, 125 for the polyimide UBILEX (Trade Mark) prepared from 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether and biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, and 50 for the polyimide LARC-TPI (Trade Mark) prepared from 3,3'-diamino benzophenone and benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride.
All of these YI values are too high. YI of 10 or less is desired for use in the above optical materials. Polyimide resin is desired to have YI of 4.about.48 which is equal to that of polycarbonate for present optical applications.

These dianhydrides can be used singly or as a mixture.
The polyimide of the invention prepared by using the above aromatic diamine and aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride as monomer components comprises a requisite structural unit primarily having recurring structural units of the formula (1). That is, the invention includes polyimide which is derived from a selected aromatic diamine and a selected aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride in the above enumerated raw materials of the invention and has recurring structural units of the formula (1).about.(12), a polyimide copolymer which is derived from one or more selected aromatic diamines and one or more selected aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides (both one, exclusive) in the above enumerated raw materials of the invention, and a polyimide copolymer which is derived from one or more selected aromatic diamines and one or more selected aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride in the above enumerated raw materials of the invention in combination with other diamines added in the range of giving no adverse effect on the properties of resulting polyimide.
The invention also includes capped polyimides having at the polymer chain end thereof an aromatic ring which is unsubstituted or substituted with a radical having no reactivity for amine and dicarboxylic anhydride.
Further, the invention includes composition of these polyimides. Compositions have better properties than polyimides as such in some cases.
The capped polyimide having at the polymer chain end thereof an aromatic ring unsubstituted or substituted with a radical having no reactivity for amine and dicarboxylic anhydride can be obtained by capping with aromatic dicarboxylic anhydride of the formula (15): ##STR67## wherein Z is the same as above, and/or aromatic monoamine of the formula (16):
Z.sub.1 --NH.sub.2 (16)
wherein Z.sub.1 is the same as above, preferably phthalic anhydride and/or aniline.
The capped polyimide can be prepared by reacting an aromatic diamine component with an aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride component in the presence of the aromatic dicarboxylic anhydride of the formula (15) and/or the aromatic monoamine of the formula (16) and thermally or chemically imidizing the resulting polyamic acid.
Exemplary aromatic dicarboxylic anhydrides of the formula (15) include 2,3-benzophenonedicarboxylic anhydride,
3,4-benzophenonedicarboxylic anhydride,
2,3-dicarboxyphenylphenyl ether anhydride,
3,4-dicarboxyphenyl phenyl ether anhydride,
2,3-biphenyldicarboxylic anhydride,
3,4-biphenyldicarboxylic anhydride,
2,3-dicarboxyphenyl phenyl sulfone anhydride,
3,4-dicarboxyphenyl phenyl sulfone anhydride,
2,3-dicarboxyphenyl phenyl sulfide anhydride,
3,4-dicarboxyphenyl phenyl sulfide anhydride,
1,2-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride,
2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride,
1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride,
1,2-anthracenedicarboxylic anhydride,
2,3-anthracenedicarboxylic anhydride, and
1,9-anthracenedicarboxylic anhydride.
These dicarboxylic anhydrides can be substituted with a radical having no reactivity for amine and dicarboxylic anhydride.
Phthalic anhydride is most preferred in these dicarboxylic anhydrides in view of properties of resulting polyimide and practical use. Polyimide prepared in the presence of phthalic anhydride has excellent heat stability in high temperature processing has dominant chemical resistance and is very useful for a material of space and aeronautic instruments and electric and electronic devices. A portion of phthalic anhydride can be replaced with other dicarboxylic anhydrides in the range giving no adverse effect on the good properties of polyimide.
The amount of dicarboxylic anhydride is 0.001-1.0 mol per mol of the aromatic diamine component. An amount less than 0.001 mol leads to viscosity increase in the high temperature processing and causes reduction of processability. On the other hand, an amount exceeding 1.0 mol lowers mechanical strengths of the product. Thus, the preferred range is 0.001-0.5 mol.
Aromatic monoamines which can be used include, for example, o-toluidine, m-toluidine, p-toluidine, 2,3-xylidine, 2,6-xylidine, 3,4-xylidine, 3,5-xylidine, o-chloroaniline, m-chloroaniline, p-chloroaniline, o-bromoaniline, m-bromoaniline, p-bromoaniline, m-nitroaniline, p-nitroaniline, o-aminophenol, m-aminophenol, p-aminophenol, o-anisidine, m-anisidine, p-anisidine, o-phenetidine, m-phenetidine, p-phenetidine, o-aminobenzaldehyde, m-aminobenzaldehyde, p-aminobenzaldehyde, o-aminobenzonitrile, m-aminobenzonitrile, p-aminobenzonitrile, 2-aminobiphenyl, 3-aminobiphenyl, 4-aminobiphenyl, 2-aminophenyl phenyl ether, 3-aminophenyl phenyl ether, 4-aminophenyl phenyl ether, 2-aminobenzophenone, 3-aminobenzophenone, 4-aminobenzophenone, 2-aminophenyl phenyl sulfide, 3-aminophenyl phenyl sulfide, 4-aminophenyl phenyl sulfide, 2-aminophenyl phenyl sulfone, 3-aminophenyl phenyl sulfone, 4-aminophenyl phenyl sulfone, .alpha.-naphthylamine, .beta.-naphthylamine, 1-amino-2-naphthol, 2-amino-1-naphthol, 4-amino-1-naphthol, 5-amino-1-naphthol, 5-amino-2-naphthol, 7-amino-2-naphthol, 8-amino-1-naphthol, 8-amino-2-naphthol, 1-aminoanthracene, 2-aminoanthracene and 9-aminoanthracene. These aromatic monoamines can be substituted with a radical having no reacting for amine and dicarboxylic anhydride.
The amount of aromatic monoamine is 0.001.about.1.0 mol per mol of the aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride component. An amount less than 0.001 mol leads to viscosity increase in the high temperature processing and causes reduction of processability. On the other hand, an amount exceeding 1.0 mole lowers mechanical strengths of the product. Thus, the preferred range is 0.001.about.0.5 mol.
Consequently, preparation of capped polyimide of the invention which is terminated with an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic ring is carried out by using 0.9-1.0 mol of aromatic diamine and 0.001-1.0 mol of dicarboxylic anhydride or aromatic monoamine per mol of tetracarboxylic dianhydride.
In the preparation of polyimide, the molar ratio of tetracarboxylic dianhydride to aromatic diamine is usually controlled in order to adjust molecular weight of formed polyimide. In order to obtain polyimide having good melt-flowability in the process of the invention, the molar ratio of aromatic diamine to tetracarboxylic dianhydride is suitably in the range of 0.9-1.0.
Any process for preparing polyimide including known processes can be applied to the preparation of polyimide in the invention. Particularly preferred process is to carry out the reaction in an organic solvent.
Exemplary solvents which can be used for the reaction include N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-diethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylmethoxyacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, N-methylcaprolactam, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, 1,2-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane, bis[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]ether, tetrahydroxyfluoran, 1,3-dioxane, 1,4-dioxane, pyridine, picoline, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfone, tetramethylurea, hexamethylphosphoramide, phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, m-cresylic acid, p-chlorophenol and anisol. These organic solvents can be used singly or as a mixture.

(D) Aromatic tetracarboxlic dianhydride, aromatic diamine and aromatic dicarboxylic anhydride or aromatic monoamine are added at one time and the reaction is carried out. Any of the above addition procedures can be conducted.
Reaction temperature is usually 250.degree. C. or less, preferably 50.degree. C. or less. No particular limitation is imposed upon the reaction pressure. Atmospheric pressure is satisfactory for carrying out the reaction. Reaction time differs depending upon the tetracarboxylic dianhydride, solvent and reaction temperature and sufficient time for carrying out the reaction is usually 4-24 hours.
Further, polyamic acid thus obtained is thermally imidized by heating at 100.degree.-400.degree. C. or chemically imidized by using an imidizing agent such as acetic anhydride to give polyimide having recurring structural units corresponding to those of polyamic acid.
Alternatively, formation and imidization of the polyamic acid precursor can be simultaneously carried out to obtain polyimide of the invention by suspending or dissolving in the organic solvent aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride, aromatic diamine and optionally aromatic dicarboxylic anhydride or aromatic monoamine in the case of capping the polyimide chain end and successively heating the resulting mixture.
The polyamic acid precursor of the polyimide of the invention has an inherent viscosity of 0.01-3.0 dl/g at 35.degree. C. in a dimethylacetamide solution at a concentration of 0.5 g/dl. The polyimide has an inherent viscosity of 0.01-3.0 dl/g at 35.degree. C. at a concentration of 0.5 g/dl in a solvent mixture consisting of 9 parts by weight of p-chlorophenol and 1 part by weight of phenol.
Polyimide film of the invention can be prepared by casting a solution of the polyamic acid precursor on a glass plate and carrying out thermal imidization or by directly hot-pressing polyimide powder.
That is, films and powder of polyimide can be prepared by known methods.
In the case of melt-processing the polyimide of the invention, other thermoplastic resins can be blended in a suitable amount depending upon the object for use so long as giving no adverse effect on the good properties of polyimides.

Flow initiation temperature was measured with a Koka type flow tester. The polyimide powder had flow initiation temperature of 280.degree. C. and melt viscosity of 7240 poise at 350.degree. C. Processing stability of the polyimide was measured by changing the residence time in the cylinder of the flow tester. Results measured at 360.degree. C. under 100 Kg load are illustrated in FIG. 6. Melt viscosity was almost unchanged even though residence time in the cylinder was extended. Thus processing stability was good.
The polyimide powder was dissolved in N,N-dimethylacetamide in a concentration of 20% by weight, cast on a glass plate and removed the solvent at 200.degree. C. to obtain a film having a thickness of about 50 .mu.m. The polyimide film had dielectric constant of 2.87 at frequency of 60 Hz, 2.84 at 3 KHz and 2.82 at 1 MHz. The film also had YI of 9, light transmittance of 86.5% at 500 nm, and moisture absorption of 0.42%.
