Field of Invention
The present disclosure relates to a phosphor-containing phenol-formaldehyde resin compound 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-retardant epoxy resin.
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 thermal cured 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 phosphors-containing phenol-formaldehyde resin c pound that can be used for curing epoxy resins, and gives a high flame-retarding performance. The introduction of environment-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 glass transition 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.

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 method for preparing phosphor-containing (flame retarding) phenol-formaldehyde resin compound is making a novolac from a phenol compound, a bisphenol compound and formaldehyde, and then mixing the novolac with an aromatic phosphate ester, such as DOPA (9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide), to undergo condensation and polymerization.

The halogen-free flame retarding epoxy resin composition was impregnated in glass fiber, and then after a thermal curing process, forms a flame retarding copper-clad laminate, which can be used as a packaging material in integrated circuit boards and semiconductors. Therefore, the cured flame retarding epoxy resin that is formed can be used as a resin substrate of a printed circuit board and semiconductor packaging material.

Table 2 is a comparison of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the hardeners; Table 3 is an analysis of the thermal cracking of the hardeners; Table 4 gives the test results of the copper-clad laminate substrates.)
Comparing the Tg (Table 2) of the cured products obtained in embodiments 11-20 and comparative example 3-4, we can see that the cured phosphor-containing epoxy resin of the present disclosure, especially the cured phosphor-containing epoxy resin prepared by using a hardener obtained by using bisphenol S and phenol as the raw materials (embodiment 3; hardener P-3) and then reacting with epoxy resin, the Tg is higher than the cured phosphor-containing epoxy resin prepared by using phenol (comparative example 1; hardener P-11), and even 13° C. higher than the cured epoxy resin prepared by using bisphenol A based phosphorous-containing hardener (comparative example 2; hardener P-12) and the thermal stability is better than the other embodiments.
From Table 3 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 3, hardener P-3; embodiment 4; hardener P-4), the thermal cracking (5% weight loss) temperature can exceed 425° C., and can be used as high-end electronic packaging materials.
From Table 4, except embodiment 26 (hardener P-6; phenol+bisphenol F series), we can seen that the Tgs of the other cured phosphor-containing epoxy resins of the present disclosure are all higher than the phosphor-containing hardeners prepared by using only phenol (comparative example 5) or only bisphenol A (comparative example 6), and showed better electrical properties than comparative example 5 and comparative example 6. the cured phosphor-containing epoxy resin containing dicyclopentadiene-phenol resin (embodiment 27) showed that the DK of which can reach 3.91 and the Df can reach 0.008, so that it may be used in the field of high frequency copper-clad laminates, In terms of the performance of the coefficient of expansion, the α1 in embodiments 21-24 and 27-30 are all between 30 and 40, and α2 is between 198 and 229. In embodiment 41-62, as long as a phosphorus content of 1.1-1.4% 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.
Although the present disclosure 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.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present disclosure cover modifications and variations of the present disclosure provided they fall within the scope of the following claims.
