Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of polymer film, and particularly relates to a polyamide-imide film and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the development of electronic devices towards flexibility, large size and ultra-thinness, high-transparency plastic substrates have attracted extensive attention due to their advantages of flexibility, light weight, high impact resistance, and roll-to-roll production, etc. for replacing traditional glass cover plates to prepare portable large-area flexible displays that can be bent or folded. The currently commercialized polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyether sulfone (PES) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films, although have excellent optical transparency and low yellowness index, have many disadvantages such as poor dimensional stability, low heat resistance and large thermal expansion coefficient, etc., which cannot meet the use requirements of such flexible displays and protection of display device components.

[0003] Polyimide refers to a kind of polymer whose molecular structure is composed of aromatic rings and imide rings. Due to its strong structural rigidity, high packing density, large chain segment movement resistance, and wide molecular and intermolecular electron cloud conjugation effect, it has high strength and modulus, high temperature oxidation resistance, radiation resistance, and good electrical insulation performance, and is widely used in aerospace, electronics, machinery, chemical industry and gas separation fields. However, this kind of polyimide material with dense structure and strong intermolecular force presents golden yellow or brown color, and its film has a transmittance of less than 40% at a wavelength of 500 nm, which limits its application in the field of optoelectronics, such as Kapton and Upilex films. According to the density functional theory (DFT) molecular orbital theory, the coloring mechanism of polyimide is mainly due to the electron transition from the highest occupied orbital (HOMO) and the near orbital group below it (i.e. the diamine part) to the lowest unoccupied orbital (LμmO) and the near orbital group above it (i.e. the anhydride part), forming an intramolecular and intermolecular charge transfer complex (CTC). Therefore, there are mainly two methods for preparing transparent polyimide films at present: 1. selecting aliphatic or semi-aliphatic polyimide structure to block the formation of CTC; 2. selecting aromatic diamine containing fluorine or sulfone group, reducing the electron-donating ability of diamine, or twisting the structure or large space volume of aromatic monomer, reducing the electron cloud density, and widening the band gap difference between HOMO and LμmO to inhibit the formation of CTC.

[0004] In the molecular structure of aliphatic polyimide, HOMO is the lone pair n orbital containing carboxyl group, LμmO is the π* orbital extended in the anhydride part, so the aliphatic HOMO→LUNO transition belongs to n→π* transition, which can directly block the formation of CTC, but due to the large decline of heat resistance, Young's modulus and surface hardness of aliphatic polyimide, semi-aliphatic structure is usually adopted. For example, CN100528965C, CN101160202B, CN101674923B and CN104704057B mainly select semi-aliphatic structure with 1,2,4,5-cyclohexane tetracarboxylic acid as dianhydride to prepare various colorless and transparent polyimide films. Patents CN107356989A and CN107443645A use bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride to prepare semi-aliphatic transparent polyimide film; CN102369233B reports the preparation of semi-aliphatic transparent polyimide using cyclohexanediamine; US20150284513A1, US20150307662A1, US20170313821A1 and US20170342215A1 also use various aliphatic dianhydride or diamine monomers to prepare semi-aliphatic transparent polyimide film. The optical performance of polyimide with aliphatic structure is very excellent, but the aliphatic molecular structure is too distorted, the molecular chain is loosely packed, and there are more methylene groups, resulting in lower heat resistance, higher thermal expansion coefficient, especially lower Young's modulus (≤4GPa) and surface hardness, and poorer high-temperature yellowing resistance, which is still difficult to meet the requirements of comprehensive performance of flexible cover plate. Another path is to select aromatic diamines containing strong polar functional groups such as fluorine or sulfone groups, or aromatic monomers with large free volume and large steric hindrance, to prepare high-transparency polyimide film by inhibiting the formation of CTC. Domestic and foreign technical personnel have carried out a lot of research and reports, and the more typical ones are to use 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (TFMB) as diamine and 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) containing hexafluoroisopropyl (twisted structure) to jointly inhibit the formation of CTC within and between the molecular chains, achieve high light transmittance and low yellowness index. At the same time, 4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride (4,4'-BPDA) with partial rigidity is added to balance the mechanical properties, such as CN101827882A, CN105646919A, CN102159628A, CN102918088A and CN104761899A. By adjusting the ratio of 6FDA and 4,4'-BPDA, polyimide film with high light transmittance and low yellowness index can be prepared, but it is difficult to balance the comprehensive performance. When the excellent optical performance is met, the mechanical properties show low Young's modulus and surface hardness, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient is too large.To this end, many researchers have made improvements and optimizations, mainly in two ways: adding nano-inorganic fillers and introducing hydrogen bonding of amide structure. Inorganic nano-fillers can improve the overall performance of the film due to their rigidity and size stability. For example, patents CN107356989A, CN107683308A, CN104411744A and CN106661273A all report research on this. Most of them use nano-silica as the filler, and the resulting inorganic-organic hybrid film has significantly improved Young's modulus, surface hardness and scratch resistance. However, due to the small particle size of nano-fillers, it is difficult to disperse uniformly, and the effect is not obvious when the amount is small, and the amount is large. Local agglomeration easily occurs, which strongly scatters light, resulting in a decrease in light transmittance, an increase in yellowness index and haze. The other way is to introduce amide structure into the polyimide molecular chain segment. Amide groups can produce strong hydrogen bonding forces, and straight-chain amide bonds can form high orientation or microcrystalline structures, similar to physical cross-linking points, which can improve the size stability and surface scratch resistance of polyimide films. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of difficulty in dispersing inorganic fillers uniformly. For example, patents CN104854173A, CN105103100A, CN105121159A and CN107428962A mainly introduce amide groups into the molecular chain structure by adding terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) or isophthaloyl chloride (IPC) monomers during polymerization. Patents CN107356998A, CN108373543A, CN110408061A and CN110408062A introduce amide bonds into the polyimide molecular chain by adding terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and 4,4'-oxybis(benzoyl chloride) (OBBC) two acyl chloride monomers, and also adding nano-silicon dioxide to improve the mechanical properties of the film. Patents CN109071814A, CN110177824A, CN110268004A, CN110300773A and CN110325568A introduce amide bonds by combining terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) with 1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-dicarbonyl dichloride (BPDC) or 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic chloride (NADOC) in the polyimide molecular chain. Replacing 4,4'-BPDA in the conventional TFMB-6FDA-4,4'-BPDA ternary structure with TPC, IPC, OBBC, BPDC and NADOC, which can improve the mechanical properties of the film, can significantly improve the Young's modulus and surface hardness of the film, and can reduce the linear thermal expansion coefficient.However, the amide bonds formed by copolymerizing these several diacyl chloride monomers into the molecular chain segment also reduce the optical performance of the polyimide film, especially the yellowness index. For example, in TPC and BPDC, the carbonyl groups on the left and right sides will produce p-p conjugation effect with the benzene ring in the middle, and the amide bond is densely packed, the local electron cloud density increases, the CTC effect is obvious, which causes the color to deepen and the light transmittance to decrease. The same is true for OBBC, as reported in patent CN108373543A, which needs to use a bluing agent to balance the excessively high yellowness. In addition, the above-mentioned report uses TPC to replace part of 4,4'-BPDA, because the combination of TPC and TFMB has a more compact structure than the combination of 4,4'-BPDA and TFMB, and the straightness of the molecular chain is too high. It is very difficult to pour the solution after the polyamic acid is added with a dehydrating agent and a catalyst into a poor solvent to form a powder, directly forming a semi-gel flexible filament, which is difficult to crush and wash clean, and has an adverse effect on the optical indicators of the subsequent film. Moreover, the two-step method of first forming a powder and then coating a film will consume a large amount of washing solvent, and there will be a loss of polyimide, increasing the production cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the polyimide or polyamide-imide film cannot simultaneously consider the optical performance, thermal performance and mechanical performance, and overcome the deficiencies and defects mentioned in the above background art. The present application provides a polyamide-imide film and a preparation method thereof.

[0012] The amide bonds formed by copolymerizing the acyl chloride monomer into the molecular chain segment will reduce the optical performance of the polyimide film, especially the yellowness index, and the amide bond is densely packed, the local electron cloud density increases, the CTC effect is obvious, which causes the color to deepen and the light transmittance to decrease. In order to further improve the mechanical performance, especially the Young's modulus and hardness of the film, a small amount of triacyl chloride monomer is contained in the acyl chloride monomer of the present application to form a small amount of local cross-linked network structure, and the ratio of the triacyl chloride monomer to the diacyl chloride monomer is adjusted. If the amount of triacyl chloride monomer added is small, the optical performance is poor, and if the amount is large, it will affect other performances.
