The disclosure relates to a technical field of liquid crystal polymer, in particular to a high-frequency transmission LCP film and preparation method thereof.
Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a kind of polymer material which, after being melted by heat or dissolved by a solvent, loses its fluidity, but still maintains a partial orderly arrangement, thereby forms a polymer material having partial properties of both crystal and liquid. According to the application, LCP can be divided into a film grade, an injection molding grade and a fiber grade. wherein the LCP film can be used as an excellent carrier for high-frequency signal transmission and has characteristics of low hygroscopicity, high chemical resistance, and high gas barrier properties.
Meanwhile, LCP film belongs to a dielectric material with low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss factor, and can be widely used in 5G communications, mobile phone antennas, camera soft boards, laptop high-speed transmission wires, and smart watch antennas.
The development and application of LCP films are limited due to bottleneck problems, such as difficult control in the molding machining process and high requirements on material mechanical properties.
In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technologies, the object of the disclosure is to provide a high-frequency transmission LCP film and preparation method thereof, aiming to obtain an LCP film with low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss factor.
