BACKGROUND
Field

The present disclosure relates to a novel diamine compound, a reactive monomer for a polyimide precursor containing the same, and a polyimide film manufactured therefrom.


Description of Related Art

Polyimide is known as a material that may be applied to industries such as next-generation wireless communications and electronic devices because it has excellent chemical resistance and appropriate dielectric properties. Recently, polyimide is mainly used as a substrate material for flexible displays.


However, polyimide, in particular fluorinated polyimide, is often damaged due to the high temperature conditions in spite of its good optical transparency when applied during the manufacturing of flexible displays, resulting in product defects. Moreover, conventional polyimide including fluorinated polyimide has a problem that dielectric properties thereof in a wide range of high frequencies are still high. Therefore, research is needed to prepare polyimide with transparency, high heat resistance, as well as desirable dielectric constant and dielectric loss rate in a wide range of high frequencies.


SUMMARY

A purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a novel diamine compound and a reactive monomer for a polyimide precursor containing the same.


Another purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a polyimide precursor prepared from the reactive monomer for the polyimide precursor, and a fluorinated polyimide film having high heat resistance manufactured using the same.


Purposes according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-mentioned purpose. Other purposes and advantages according to the present disclosure that are not mentioned may be understood based on following descriptions, and may be more clearly understood based on embodiments according to the present disclosure. Further, it will be easily understood that the purposes and advantages according to the present disclosure may be realized using means shown in the claims and combinations thereof.

5.0 mmol of 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol, 5.0 mmol of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzotrifluoride, and 50 ml of N, N-dimethylmethanamide were input into a 100 ml round flask, which in turn was sealed under a nitrogen atmosphere. Afterwards, 2 g of sodium hydride was divided into several portions which in turn were added to the solution in the flask under an environment of 0° C. The mixed solution was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes, stirred at 25° C. for 30 minutes, and then stirred at 110° C. for 12 hours.

Afterwards, the flask was repeatedly subjected to a filling and vacuuming process using a hydrogen gas balloon at least three times to generate a hydrogen environment within the flask. The solution was then stirred for 12 hours. The completion of the reaction was observed using thin layer chromatography. After the reaction has been completed, the catalyst was filtered out from the solution using Celite 545 and the solution was concentrated using a rotary evaporator. The concentrated product was subjected to recrystallization using ethanol and drying in a vacuum oven at 100° C. for 12 hours. Thus, a final compound, that is, 4,4′-((1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diyl)bis(oxy))bis(2-(trifluoromethyl) aniline) as the material 3 was obtained.


PRESENT EXAMPLE 4
Preparation of Polyamic Acid and Polyimide

In a 20 ml vial, 2.0 mmol of the novel diamine compound as the material 3 and 2.0 mmol of pyromellitic dianhydride were dissolved at a solid content of 25 wt % in dimethylacetamide solvent under a nitrogen atmosphere, followed by stirring at room temperature for 72 hours.


Thereafter, 1.5 mL of a polyamic acid solution was applied to a slide glass substrate, the solvent was dried and removed therefrom in an oven under a nitrogen atmosphere at 60° C. for 24 hours, and a thermal imidization process was performed thereon at 80° C. for 12 hours, at 150° C. for 1 hour, at 200° C. for 1 hour, at 250° C. for 1 hour, and at 300° C. for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere.

Experimental Example 3
Thermal Stability Test

Thermal properties were measured through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Referring to FIG. 8, the polyimide (6FDA MPI) prepared as Comparative Example has the glass transition temperature of 192° C., whereas the polyimide (CF3 MPI) prepared using the novel diamine compound according to Present Example of the present disclosure has a glass transition temperature of 215° C. Thus, it may be identified that the polyimide according to Present Example of the present disclosure has a higher glass transition temperature than that of the polyimide of Comparative Example.


Referring to FIG. 9 showing the result of the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the 10 weight percent loss temperatures (Td10) of the polyimide (CF3 modified Polyimide) prepared according to Present Example and the polyimide (6FDA-DPEDBA) prepared according to Comparative Example are respectively 387° C. and 375° C. Thus, it may be identified that the polyimide film manufactured according to Present Example of the present disclosure has higher thermal stability than that of the polyimide film manufactured according to Comparative Example. This may be due to that in terms of the chemical structure, the polyimide prepared from the diamine compound containing the ether group instead of a thermally unstable ester group exhibits high thermal stability at high temperatures.
