AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses a new discovery that using unsaturated cyclic anhydrides, such as itaconic anhydride, as an end capped group can improve the thermo-mechanical properties of polyamic acid and polyimide polymers. These polymers can be made by combining known dianhydrides and diamines with the unsaturated cyclic anhydride. The resulting polymers can be dissolved in common organic solvents and combined with additives to create photosensitive compositions with excellent thermo-mechanical properties, low cure temperatures, and other beneficial properties.

Problems solved by technology

However, most of the polyimides disclosed in the art are generally for positive tone image forming films, and many not suitable for many applications.
Some of the drawbacks include use of highly toxic and corrosive phenolic monomers which provide alkali solubility that is required for forming positive tone compositions.
Other property disadvantages include insolubility of the polyimides and / or the precursor polyamic acids in commonly used solvents in the electronic industry, poor photo imaging capabilities, among others.
Even more importantly, such compositions suffer from poor thermo-mechanical properties and may require high cure temperatures, often times higher than 300° C., which are undesirable.

6FDA / 6BF / BZXPh-5 / 1A (48.1 / 29.6 / 19.8 / 2.5)

[0249]A mixture of 6BF (15.13 g, 30 mmol), BZXPh-5 (4.5 g, 20 mmol) and IA (0.28 g, 2.5 mmol) were dissolved in NMP (165.1 g) and stirred at ambient temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this solution was then added 6FDA (21.63 g, 48.7 mmol) in small batches while stirring that generated about 5° C. exotherm. The reaction mixture was continued to stir at ambient temperature for 20 hours during which time the solution turned viscous. A small portion of this solution was diluted with DMAc for GPC analysis. GPC-DMAc—Mw=99,600, Mn=47,850, PDI=2.08.

[0250]The polyamic acid solution (127 g containing about 25 g polymer) thus obtained above was mixed with anhydrous pyridine (25 g), acetic anhydride (25 g) and cyclopentanone (100 g) and the solution heated to 90° C. for 4 hours under nitrogen atmosphere while stirring. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and added to excess water / methanol (80 / 20) mixture (1.5 L) to iso...

[0251]6BF (15.13 g, 30 mmol) and PFMB (6.41 g, 20 mmol) were dissolved in NMP (150.7 g) and stirred at ambient temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. A mixture of 6FDA (10.83 g, 24.4 mmol), PMDA (5.317 g, 24.4 mmol) and IA (0.28 g, 2.5 mmol) was added in small batches to the above solution while stirring.

An additional amount of NMP (33 g) was added to this viscous solution. A small portion of this solution was then diluted with DMAc for GPC analysis. GPC-DMAc—Mw=107,050, Mn=60,700, PDI=1.76. A small sample of the polymer solution was also added to excess water / acetone (80 / 20) mixture to isolate the polymer for 1H NMR analysis. The gummy product was washed with excess water / acetone (80 / 20) mixture and dried in a vacuum oven at 50-60° C. for 24 hours to obtain a solid product. 1H-NMR (500 MHz) sp...
