The isocyanate-modified polyimide resin of the present invention is an isocyanate-modified polyimide resin obtained by reacting an isocyanate group of a diisocyanate compound (a) (hereinafter, simply described as “component (a)”) with an amino group and/or an acid anhydride group which the polyimide resin has on both ends (hereinafter, the polyimide resin which is the reaction product of the components (b) to (d) is simply described as “intermediate polyimide resin”), the polyimide resin being a reaction product of the aliphatic diamino compound (b)(hereinafter, simply described as “component (b)”), the tetrabasic acid dianhydride (c) (hereinafter, simply described as “component (c)”) and the aromatic diamino compound (d) (hereinafter, simply described as “component (d)”), wherein the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin has an amino group and/or an acid anhydride group on both ends.


[Intermediate Polyimide Resin]


First, the intermediate polyimide resin is described.


The reaction of the components (b) to (d) includes a step in which the polyamic-acid is obtained by the copolymerization reaction of the amino groups of the components (b) and (d) and the acid anhydride group of the component (c), and a step in which the intermediate polyimide resin is obtained by the dehydrocyclization reaction (imidation reaction) of the polyamic-acid. The two steps above may be carried out separately, but it is efficient that the two steps are carried out successively.


When the components (b), (c) and (d) are used for the copolymerization reaction and the mol number MB of the component (b), the mol number MC of the component (c) and the mol number MD of the component (d) satisfy the relationship MB+MD>MC, the both ends of the intermediate polyimide resin obtained are amino groups. When MB, MC and MD satisfy the relationship MB+MD<MC, the both ends of the intermediate polyimide resin obtained are acid anhydride groups. When MB, MC and MD satisfy the relationship MB+MD=MC, the molecular weight of the intermediate polyimide resin obtained is theoretically infinity and the intermediate polyimide resin has one amino group on one end and one acid anhydride group on the other end.

When the amount of the component (b) is below the range aforementioned, the proportion of the aliphatic chain derived from the component (b) in the intermediate polyimide resin is too low, therefore, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss tangent may become high.

[Isocyanate-Modified Polyimide Resin]


Next, the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin of the present invention is described.


The isocyanate-modified polyimide resin of the present invention is obtained by the reaction of the intermediate polyimide resin and the component (a). The reaction of the intermediate polyimide resin and the component (a) is the copolymerization reaction of the amino group or the acid anhydride group that the intermediate polyimide resin has on the ends and the isocyanate group which the component (a) has. The urea bond is formed by the reaction of the amino group and the isocyanate group. The imide bond is formed by the reaction of the acid anhydride group and the isocyanate group.


The amount of the component (a) used for the copolymerization reaction of the intermediate polyimide resin and the component (a) is the amount satisfying conditions that the isocyanate group of the component (a) is preferably less than 1 equivalent based on 1 equivalent of the terminal functional group of the intermediate polyimide resin, more preferably 0.50 to 0.99 equivalent, further preferably 0.67 to 0.98 equivalent. When the amount of the component (a) based on the intermediate polyimide resin is within the range aforementioned, thereby the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin has the high molecular weight as well as the remaining rate of the unreacted raw material is lowered. As a result, the various characteristics such as heat resistance and flexibility after curing the resin composition containing the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin, the polyimide resin and the like are improved.


Note that the equivalent of the terminal functional group of the intermediate polyimide resin herein means the value calculated from the used amount of each raw material when synthesizing the intermediate polyimide resin.


As the component (a) used for the synthesis of the isocyanate-modified resin of the present invention, all the compounds having two isocyanate groups in one molecular can be used. Also, at the same time, more than one diisocyanate compounds can be reacted.

Among them, hexamethylenediisocyanate, trimethylhexamethylenediisocyanate, or isophoronediisocyanate which are excellent in the balance of flexibility, adhesiveness and the like are more preferable.


The reaction of the intermediate polyimide resin and the component (a) should be carried out by the conventional synthetic method.

But the reaction is preferably carried out until the viscosity increase accompanied by the progress of the reaction reaches equilibrium to obtain the maximum molecular weight. The reaction time is generally several tens minutes to 20 hours.


After the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin solution obtained above is added into the poor solvents such as water, methanol and hexane to separate the generated polymer, the solid contents of the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin of the present invention also can be obtained by the reprecipitation method.


[Terminal-Modified Isocyanate-Modified Polyimide Resin]


Because the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin of the present invention has an amino group and/or an acid anhydride group on both ends, the terminal can be modified by reacting with the compound having one functional group capable of reacting with these functional groups to prepare the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin.

The nonreactive compound of the first embodiment is not limited as long as the compound does not react with the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin. The organic solvent and the like are included in this category. The resin composition containing the organic solvent is also called “varnish” and is the preferable embodiment for the application where the handling ability of the resin composition is improved by diluting with the organic solvent and the like.


Examples of the organic solvent include γ-butyrolactone, amido solvents such as N-methylpyrolidone, N,N-dimethylformaide, N,N-dimethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylimidazolidinone, sulfones such as tetramethylenesulfone, ether solvents such as diethyleneglycoldimethylether, diethyleneglycoldiethylether, propyleneglycol, propyleneglycolmonomethylether, propyleneglycolmonomethylethermonoacetate and propyleneglycolmonobutylether, ketone solvents such as methylethylketone, methylisobutylketone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone and aromatic solvents such as toluene and xylene.


The organic solvent is used so that the concentration of the solid contents except for the organic solvent in the resin composition is generally 10 to 80 mass %, preferably 20 to 70 mass %.


Because the compound having a thiol group and the compound having an amino group described in the paragraph of “the reactive compound of the first embodiment reactive with the acid anhydride group” do not react with amino group, these compounds may be used together with the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin having an amino group on the end as the nonreactive compound of the first embodiment to obtain the resin composition. Because the compound having a maleimide group and the compound having a carboxy group described in the paragraph of “the reactive compound of the first embodiment reactive with the amino group” do not react with acid anhydride group, these compounds may be used together with the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin having an acid anhydride group on the end as the nonreactive compound of the first embodiment to obtain the resin composition.


Like the description in the paragraphs of the compound having a maleimide group and the compound having an epoxy group of the reactive compound of the first embodiment, it is the preferable embodiment of the resin composition of the present invention that the nonreactive compound of the first embodiment is self-crosslinked and that several nonreactive compounds of the first embodiment are copolymerized with each other. By self-crosslinking or copolymerizing the nonreactive compounds of the first embodiment in the resin composition, the cured products of the nonreactive compound containing the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin which is not bonded can be obtained.


Next, as the second embodiment, the resin composition containing the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin and the compound except for the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin is described.


The compound except for the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin of the resin composition of the second embodiment is not limited to any one of the compounds reactive with the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin (hereinafter described as “the reactive compound of the second embodiment”) and the compound nonreactive with the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin (hereinafter described as “the nonreactive compound of the second embodiment”).


The reactive compound of the second embodiment is a compound reactive with the functional group that the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin has on the end. Because the functional group that the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin has on the end depends on the compound used for the terminal-modification, in consideration of the terminal functional group of the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin,


the compound reactive with the terminal functional group should be selected as the reactive compound of the second embodiment.


For example, when the both ends of isocyanate-modified polyimide resin having an amino group are modified by tetrabasic acid dianhydride, the both ends of the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin are changed to the acid anhydride group. Therefore, the reactive compound of the second embodiment reactive with the acid anhydride group may be the same compound as the reactive compound of the first embodiment reactive with the terminal acid anhydride group of the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin, and the same catalyst, the same compound usable together may be also used.


When the both ends of the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin having an acid anhydride group are modified by diamino compound, the both ends of the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin are changed to the amino group. Therefore, the reactive compound of the second embodiment reactive with the amino group includes the same compound as the reactive compound of the first embodiment reactive with the terminal amino group of the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin.


As other examples, the terminal of the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin obtained by using the epoxy resin, the compound having a maleimide group (including the maleimide resin), the isocyanate resin, the allyl resin, the benzoxazine resin and the acryloyl resin for the terminal modification of the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin respectively may be the epoxy group, the maleimide group, the isocyanate group, the allyl group, the benzoxazine group and the acryloyl group respectively. Therefore, the compound reactive with these terminal functional groups may be used as the reactive compound of the second embodiment and the catalyst and the like used generally in the reaction of the terminal functional group aforementioned and the reactive compound can be used together.


The compound having an acryloyl group is preferably used together with the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin having an acryloyl group on the end as the reactive compound of the second embodiment. Examples include alkyl(meth)acrylates such as 2-ethylhexyl(meth)acrylate and cyclohexyl(meth)acrylate; hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylates such as 2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate; mono or di(meth)acrylate of alkylene oxide derivatives such as ethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, diethyleneglycol and dipropyleneglycol; poly(meth)acrylate of polyalcohols or ethyleneoxide or propyleneoxide adducts thereof such as hexanediol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, ditrimethylolpropane, dipentaerythritol, trishydroxyethylisocyanurate; (meth)acrylates of ethyleneoxide or propyleneoxide adduct of phenol such as phenoxyethyl(meth)acrylate, polyethoxydi(meth)acrylate of bisphenol A; (meth)acrylate of glycidylethers such as glycerindiglycidylether, trimethylolpropanetriglycidylether, triglycidylisocyanurate; and melamine(meth)acrylate. The polymerization initiator and the like usable for the (co)polymerization of the compound having an acryloyl group also can be used together.


The content of the reactive compound of the second embodiment in the resin composition of the present invention is preferably the amount that the equivalent of the reactive group of the reactive compound of the second embodiment is 0.1 to 500 equivalents based on one equivalent of the terminal functional group of the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin. When the equivalent of the reactive group of the reactive compound of the second embodiment is within the range aforementioned, thereby the cured products of the resin composition having crosslinking density may produce excellent various physical properties. The equivalent mentioned here is the value calculated from the used amount of each raw material when synthesizing the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin.


Note that when the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin has different functional groups on both ends, more than one reactive compounds of the second embodiment reactive with respective functional groups also can be used together.


The nonreactive compound of the second embodiment is not limited as long as the compound does not react with the terminal-modified isocyanate-modified polyimide resin. The organic solvent and the like are included in this category. The resin composition containing the organic solvent is also called “varnish” and is the preferable embodiment for the application where the handling ability of the resin composition is improved by diluting with the organic solvent and the like.


Examples and the content in the resin composition of the organic solvent are the same as the organic solvent and the content described in the paragraph of the nonreactive compound of the first embodiment.


The conventional additive also can be used together with the resin composition of the present invention. Examples usable together includes the curing agent for the epoxy resin, polybutadiene and modified polybutadiene, modified acrylonitrile copolymer, polyphenylene ether, polystyrene, polyethylene, polyimide, fluorocarbon resin, maleimide compound, cyanate ester compound, silicone gel, silicone oil and the inorganic fillers such as silica, alumina, calcium carbonate, quartz powder, aluminum powder, graphite, talc, clay, iron oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum nitride, asbestos, mica, glass powder, the surface treatment agents for the filler such as the silane coupling agent, the releasing agent, the coloring agents such as carbon black, phtharocyanine blue and phtharocyanine green. The content of these additives is preferably in the range of equal to or less than 1,000 mass parts, more preferably equal to or less than 700 mass parts based on 100 mass parts of the resin composition.


The curing time and the curing temperature of the resin composition of the present invention may be selected in consideration of the combination and the like of the functional group that the (terminal-modified) isocyanate-modified polyimide resin has on the both ends and the reactive group of the reactive compound. For example, the curing temperature of the resin composition containing the maleimide resin and the resin composition containing the epoxy resin is preferably 120 to 250° C. and the curing time is generally several tens minutes to several hours.


The preparing method of the resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. The resin composition may be prepared by only mixing each component homogeneously or by producing the prepolymer. For example, the prepolymer can be produced by heating the (terminal-modified) isocyanate-modified polyimide resin and the reactive compound in the presence or absence of the catalyst, in the presence or absence of the solvent. The mixture of each component or the production of the prepolymer are carried out by using the extruder, the kneader, the roll and the like in the absence of the solvent and by using the reaction kettle with the stirring device and the like in the presence of the solvent.


The prepreg can be obtained by impregnating the reinforcing fiber such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, polyester fiber, polyamide fiber, alumina fiber with the resin composition of the present invention which is melted by heating and whose viscosity is lowered. The prepreg also can be obtained by heating to dry after impregnating the reinforcing fiber with the varnish aforementioned.


After cutting the prepreg described above into the desired form and laminating the prepreg with the copper foil and the like as necessary, the prepreg-laminated article is cured by heating the resin composition under pressure by the press forming method, the autoclave method, the sheet winding method and the like to obtain the substrates of the present invention such as the laminated board for the electric/electronic equipment (the printed wiring board) and the carbon fiber-reinforced material.


Also, after coating the resin composition on the copper foil and drying the solvent, the polyimide film or the LCP (liquid crystal polymer) is laminated. After hot-press the laminate is thermally cured to obtain the substrate of the present invention. In some cases, the substrate of the present invention is also obtained by laminating the copper foil after coating the resin composition on the polyimide film or the LCP (liquid crystal polymer).

(Evaluation of Adhesive Strength)


By using the resin compositions obtained in Examples 7 to 12, Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the adhesive strength to the copper foil and thermal property of the cured product of the resin composition were evaluated.


The resin compositions obtained above were coated on the rough surface of the copper foil CF-T4X-SV-18 manufactured by FUKUDA METAL FOIL & POWDER Co., Ltd. (hereinafter described as “T4X”) by using the automatic applicator respectively and dried by heating at 120° C. for 10 minutes. The thickness of the film after drying was 30 μm. On the film on the copper foil obtained above, another T4X was superimposed with the rough surface and vacuum-pressed with a pressure of 3 Mpa at 200° C. for 60 minutes. The test piece obtained was cut out by the width of 10 mm and the 90° peeling strength between the copper foils was measured (the peeling speed was 50 mm/min) by using Auto Graph AGS-X-500N (manufactured by Shimazu Corporation) to evaluate the adhesive strength of the copper foil. When the samples were observed visually after test, the cohesive failure was occurred in all samples. The results were shown in Tables 2 and 3.


(Evaluation of Thermal Property)


The test piece made by the same method as the method in “Evaluation of Adhesive Strength” described above was floated in the solder bath heated at 288° C. by using POT-200C (manufactured by TAIYO ELECTRIC IND. CO., LTD.). Thermal property was evaluated by the time until the blister occurred. The results were shown in Tables 2 and 3.


(Evaluation of Mechanical Property and Dielectric Property)


The films having a thickness of 100 μm after drying were formed on the rough surface of T4X respectively by the same method as the method in “Evaluation of Adhesive Strength” described above, provided that the coating thickness of the automatic applicator was changed, and the formed film was cured by heating at 200° C. for 60 minutes. The copper foil was removed by etching with iron (III) chloride solution having a liquid specific gravity of 45 baume degree. After washing with ion-exchanged water, the film-like cured products were obtained respectively by drying at 105° C. for 10 minutes.

Example 13 (Synthesis of Isocyanate-Modified Polyimide Resin of Present Invention)

Into the reaction vessel of 300 ml provided with the thermometer, the efflux cooler, the Dean-Stark apparatus, the raw material inlet port, the nitrogen introducing device and the stirring device, 7.70 parts of BAFL (9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene, manufactured by JFE Chemical Corporation, molecular weight 348.45 g/mol), 10.64 parts of PRIAMINE1075 (C36 dimerdiamine, manufactured by Croda Japan K.K., molecular weight 534.38 g/mol), 12.41 parts of ODPA (oxydiphthalic anhydride, manufactured by Manac Incorporation, molecular weight 310.22 g/mol), 68.43 parts of anisole, 0.81 parts of triethylamine and 19.00 parts of toluene were added and heated to 120° C. to dissolve the raw materials. While the water generated with the cyclization of amic acid was removed by azeotropically boiling with toluene, the solution was reacted at 135° C. for 4 hours. After the generation of water was stopped, the intermediate polyimide resin solution was obtained by continuing to remove the remained triethylamine and toluene at 140° C. The mole ratio (the number of moles of the diamine component/the number of moles of the acid anhydride component) of the diamine component (the (b) component and the (d) component) and the acid anhydride component (the (c) component) used for the synthesis of the intermediate polyimide resin was 1.05.


Next, to the intermediate polyimide resin solution obtained above 0.26 parts of IPDI (isophoronediisocyanate, manufactured by Degussa-Huls AG, molecular weight 222.29 g/mol) and 0.58 parts of anisole were added and heated at 130° C. for 3 hours to obtain the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin solution (A-7) (nonvolatile component 30.1%). The final mole ratio of the raw material components of the isocyanate-modified polyimide resin obtained above (the number of moles of the diamine component/(the number of moles of the acid anhydride component+the number of moles of the diisocyanate component)) was 1.02.


Examples 14 to 19 (Preparation of Resin Composition)

The polyimide resin solution (A-1), (A-3) and (A-7) obtained in Examples 1, 3 and 13, MIR3000-70MT (maleimide resin having a biphenyl skeleton, manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., nonvolatile component 70.0%) and MIR5000-60T (novolak type maleimide resin, manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., nonvolatile component 60.0%) as the compound having a maleimide group and dicumylperoxide (DCP) as the radical initiator were mixed with the blending amount shown in Table 4 (the unit was “part”, the number of parts of the polyimide resin and the maleimide resin were the number of parts of the solution including the solvent) to obtain the resin composition of the present invention.
