1. Field of Invention
The present disclosure relates to a phosphorous-containing phenol-formaldehyde novolac structure and the preparation method thereof, and the use of the compound to react with the epoxy group of an epoxy resin to obtain an environmentally-friendly and high performing halogen-free cured flame retarding epoxy resin.
2. Description of Related Art
The chemical structure of epoxy resin features its desirable properties, e.g., reactivity, toughness, flexibility, good mechanical properties, electrical properties, dimensional stability, and superior bonding properties for different substrates. The cured epoxy resin can not only maintain the original features of the substrate, but also further block out water, gas and chemicals, and it is also lightweight and low cost. Therefore, epoxy resin is widely used in electronics and aerospace industries, especially in the field of semiconductor packaging material, printed circuit board substrate material and so on. However, when the epoxy resin is applied to a printed circuit board, there is a lack of flame retarding. In the past, halogen based flame-retardant was added to the epoxy resin to meet the flame-retarding requirements. The halogen based flame-retardant will produce dioxin, benzofuran and other irritating and corrosive harmful gases when burnt, and the small molecules of the flame-retardant often cause a reduction in the mechanical properties and will photodecompose, thus causing material deterioration. At the same time, there will be migration and volatility issues, resulting in a reduction of the material performance and the flame-retarding effect is not ideal. Therefore, the use of organic phosphorus compound flame-retardants in thermosetting epoxy resin compositions instead of halogenated flame-retardants is constantly emerging, for example, in patents such as EP A 0384939, EP A 0384940, EP A 0408990, DE A 4308184, DE A 4308185, DE A 4308187, WO A 96/07685, and WO A 96/07686. In addition, for the printed circuit laminates, with the rise of environmental awareness, the current international norms require lead free processes, therefore the processing of the substrate are now more demanding, especially regarding the vitrification temperature (Tg) of the material and the heat resistance of the substrate in a tin furnace has become an important issue that researchers in this field must overcome.
The present disclosure provides a new type of phosphorous-containing phenol-formaldehyde novolac that can be used for curing epoxy resins, and gives a high flame-retarding effect. The introduction of environmentally-friendly organic phosphorus group can not only maintain the original excellent properties of epoxy resins, but also meet the high flame-retarding requirements, and have the ability to improve the vitrification temperature (Tg), heat resistance and other characteristics of the material, so that the curing system can be successfully applied to the electronic materials field which are light, thin, small and precise.
One aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a new type of phosphorous-containing flame retarding phenol-formaldehyde novolac, a compound with the general formula represented by Formula (I):
wherein, A and A′ are individually
Y is —CH2— or —CH2—O—CH2—, and Y in different units are the same or different;

and n is 0-5.
The above mentioned phosphorous-containing flame retarding phenol-formaldehyde novolac compound have a suitable reactivity, wide range of lamination processing period, high vitrification temperature, excellent heat resistance, low water absorption, good electrical properties and can be used as an epoxy resin hardener, by reacting the epoxy group of the epoxy resin with the phenolic hydroxyl group of the compound, an environmentally-friendly halogen-free cured flame retarding epoxy resin may be formed, which can be used in packaging materials for integrated circuit boards and semiconductors.
The preparation method of the above mentioned phosphorous-containing flame retarding phenol-formaldehyde novolac is carried out by synthesizing a phenol-formaldehyde novolac by using a phenol compound, bisphenol compound and formaldehyde, the phenol-formaldehyde novolac is then mixed with an aromatic phosphate ester (i.e., the X in Formula I) to undergo a condensation polymerization reaction to produce the product.
The above mentioned phosphorous-containing flame retarding phenol-formaldehyde novolac includes a phenol compound and a bisphenol compound, wherein the mass ratio of the phenol compound and the bisphenol compound is between 1:0.1 to 1:9.

The above mentioned phosphorous-containing phenol-formaldehyde novolac can be used as the epoxy resin hardener. In the chemical structure, since the phosphorous-containing phenol-formaldehyde novolac, in addition to having a phenol compound, has an bisphenol compound with excellent heat resistance, high vitrification temperature (Tg), low water absorption and good electrical properties, examples of the bisphenol compound include biphenol, bisphenol F, bisphenol A and bisphenol S, etc. Therefore, the drawbacks of lack of flexibility and insufficient heat resistance when the phenol compound is used alone can be compensated. On the other hand, through mixing of the bisphenol compound and the phenol compound, the drawbacks of the high coefficient of expansion when the temperature is greater than the vitrification temperature (Tg) of the cured product can be effectively improved (compared to using the bisphenol A alone), this can help improve the dimensional stability of the product, which can be applied to the electronic materials field which are light, thin, small and precise.

The conventional epoxy resin hardener mentioned above can be selected from the group consisting of phenol-formaldehyde novolac, cresol-formaldehyde novolac, bisphenol A phenol-formaldehyde novolac, dicyandiamide, methylenedianiline, diaminodiphenyl sulfone and the combination thereof.

Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain embodiments thereof, other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the embodiments contained herein.
Table 1 is a comparison of the vitrification temperature (Tg) of the hardeners; Table 2 is an analysis of the thermal cracking of the hardeners; Table 3 gives the test results of the copper-clad laminate substrates.
Comparing the Tg (Table 1) of the cured products obtained in embodiments 21-40 and comparative example 3-4, we can see that the cured phosphorous-containing epoxy resin of the present disclosure, especially the cured phosphorous-containing epoxy resin prepared by using a hardener obtained by using bisphenol S and phenol as the raw materials (embodiment 5; hardener P-5) and then reacting with epoxy resin, the Tg is higher than the cured phosphorous-containing epoxy resin prepared by using phenol, and even 10° C. higher than the cured epoxy resin prepared by using bisphenol A based phosphorous-containing hardener, and the thermal stability is better than the other embodiments. The use of other phosphate ester compounds in the preparation, and DOPO based hardener also showed good results.
From Table 2 we can see the differences in the degree of crosslinking of the phosphorus based hardener and the epoxy resin, wherein in the TGA tests of the bisphenol S based phosphorous-containing epoxy resin hardener (embodiment 5; hardener P-5), the thermal cracking (5% weight loss) temperature can exceed 400° C., and can be used as high-end electronic packaging materials.
From Table 3 we can seen that the Tg of the cured phosphorous-containing epoxy resin of the present disclosure is higher than the phosphorous-containing hardener prepared by using only phenol (comparative example 1; P-21), and the cured phosphorous-containing epoxy resin containing bisphenol S (embodiment 44-46) showed better electrical properties than comparative example 5 and comparative example 6, the DK can reach 4.0 and the Df can reach 0.009. In terms of the performance of the coefficient of expansion, the al in embodiments 44-46 are between 30 and 40, and α2 is between 200 and 220. In embodiment 41-74, as long as a phosphorus content of 1.1-1.5% is in the formulation, the copper-clad laminate can meet the requirement of flame-retarding effect, therefore making it ideal to be used in the field of manufacturing high-end phosphor-containing copper-clad laminate materials.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims.
