Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of copper clad laminate technology, specifically relating to a resin composition, a prepreg, and a metal foil laminate. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic information technology and hardware carriers, the demand for transmission capacity of electronic components and circuit materials has also increased, leading to the era of high-frequency and high-speed transmission in electronic products. Therefore, the dielectric properties of related electronic materials have become a key concern. With the trends of higher frequency and higher speed signal transmission and higher circuit board density, the requirements for low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and flame retardancy in electronic materials are becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are components used for electrical connections in electronic devices and electronic components, and are one of the most important electronic materials. PCBs are usually manufactured by processing copper-clad laminates through different processes. Therefore, the performance, quality, service life, and manufacturing level of a PCB largely depend on the performance of the copper-clad laminate.

[0004] Copper-clad laminates consist of copper foil, reinforcing materials, and resin materials. The properties of the resin materials directly affect the performance of the board material and the PCB. Epoxy resin is a traditional raw material for boards, possessing good adhesion, heat resistance, and processing performance, and offering significant cost advantages. However, with the application of high-speed, high-frequency circuit boards, higher dielectric loss requirements are placed on the materials. Epoxy resin has a high dielectric constant and dielectric loss (Df) value, resulting in poor dielectric performance of the board material, failing to meet application requirements.

[0005] Polyolefin materials are non-polar materials with low dielectric loss (Df), which meets the low dielectric requirements of copper-clad laminates and has attracted widespread attention in the industry. CN110605880A discloses a thermosetting hydrocarbon polymer composition, a prepreg, and a thermosetting copper-clad laminate. The preparation method includes: using polyhydroxyl-type polyaryl ether resin, hydrogenated hydroxyl-terminated polyolefin resin, polydiolefin resin, and vinyl-modified polyaryl ether resin as raw materials to prepare a polyaryl ether-polyolefin block copolymer and a thermosetting hydrocarbon polymer composition containing it; then using this composition to prepare a thermosetting copper-clad laminate. Compared with epoxy resin copper-clad laminates, the above-mentioned board containing olefin polymers has better dielectric properties. However, olefin polymers have poor resistance to heat and oxygen aging. After aging for a period of time under high temperature and oxygen conditions, the dielectric loss (Df) increases significantly, resulting in Df failing to meet the usage requirements after long-term use. Furthermore, existing hydrocarbon materials are highly flammable resins, and even with the addition of a large amount of halogen-free flame retardant, it is difficult to achieve halogen-free flame retardancy.

[0006] Therefore, in this field, there is a desire to develop a circuit material that combines excellent aging resistance, dielectric properties, bonding strength, and halogen-free flame retardant properties to meet the requirements of the high-frequency and high-speed circuit board field. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a resin composition, a prepreg, and a metal foil laminate. The resin composition of the present invention uses triallyl cyanurate as the main component, which is combined with an elastomer block copolymer and a phosphorus-containing flame retardant. This results in a board containing the resin composition exhibiting excellent dielectric properties, resistance to heat and oxygen aging, resistance to damp heat (stability of electrical properties under long-term damp heat conditions, i.e., wet bleaching performance often mentioned in the industry), and good flame retardant properties, meeting the requirements of the high-frequency and high-speed circuit board field.

[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] On one hand, the present invention provides a resin composition comprising triallyl cyanurate (TAC), an elastomer block copolymer, and a phosphorus-containing flame retardant;

[0010] The content of triallyl cyanurate is 50-70% based on the total mass of the resin components in the resin composition being 100%.

[0011] In the resin composition provided by this invention, triallyl cyanurate (TAC) serves as the main component, exhibiting excellent heat and oxygen aging resistance and dielectric properties. It demonstrates excellent wetting, strong adhesion, and good flowability, and has a high nitrogen content. When combined with a phosphorus-containing flame retardant, it forms a N / P synergistic flame retardant effect, achieving halogen-free flame retardancy. The elastomeric block copolymer, when compounded with TAC, helps to improve and control the adhesive viscosity, facilitating application, optimizing processability and gluing properties, and enhancing the toughness of the finished resin board. Through the synergistic effect of TAC and the elastomeric block copolymer, the resin composition exhibits low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, excellent dielectric properties, significantly improving the heat and oxygen aging resistance, dielectric stability, and board reliability of the resin composition, prepreg, and metal foil-coated laminate. Furthermore, it possesses good processability and gluing properties, fully meeting the dielectric reliability requirements of the resin composition and boards in high-frequency and high-speed applications. The resin composition of the present invention, with the combination of three components—triallyl cyanurate (TAC), elastomer block copolymer, and phosphorus-containing flame retardant—gives the sheet material excellent dielectric properties, resistance to heat and oxygen aging, resistance to damp heat, and good flame retardant properties, resulting in excellent overall performance.

[0012] In this invention, based on the total mass of the resin components in the resin composition as 100%, the content of triallyl cyanurate is 50-70%, for example, it can be 50%, 55%, 58%, 60%, 63%, 65%, 68% or 70%. If the content of triallyl cyanurate is less than 50%, it will lead to insufficient heat and oxygen aging resistance; if the content of triallyl cyanurate is higher than 70%, the board will be too brittle and have poor mechanical properties.

[0013] In this invention, the elastomeric block copolymer includes any one or a combination of at least two of styrene-butadiene copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer, styrene-isoprene copolymer, or styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer.

[0014] Preferably, the number average molecular weight of the elastomeric block copolymer is ≥50,000, for example, it can be 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, 100,000, 120,000, 150,000, 180,000, 200,000, 250,000 or 300,000.

[0015] In this invention, the test method for molecular weight (weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, etc.) is GB / T21863-2008, which is determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) based on polystyrene calibration.

[0016] In this invention, the total mass of the resin component in the resin composition is 100%, and the content of the elastomeric block copolymer is 10-30%, for example, 10%, 13%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 23%, 25%, 28%, or 30%. If the amount of elastomeric block copolymer added is too large, the adhesive viscosity will be too high, resulting in insufficient wetting of reinforcing materials such as fiberglass cloth, leading to more voids in the board, increased water absorption, poor processability, etc. If the amount of elastomeric block copolymer added is too small, the adhesive viscosity will be too low, resulting in poor curing properties.

[0017] Preferably, the phosphorus-containing flame retardant can be a reactive or additive flame retardant. A reactive phosphorus-containing flame retardant refers to one that contains reactive groups that can react with the resin components in the resin composition, while an additive phosphorus-containing flame retardant refers to one that does not contain reactive groups that can react with the resin components in the resin composition.

[0091] A prepreg and a copper-clad laminate comprising the resin composition are prepared by the following method:

[0092] (1) The resin composition is mixed with toluene according to the formula to prepare a glue solution with a solid content of 60%; glass fiber cloth is impregnated with the glue solution and then baked at 120°C for 3 minutes to obtain a semi-cured sheet;

[0093] (2) Six semi-cured sheets are stacked together, and copper foil is covered on the top and bottom sides. The sheets are then cured in a press at 240°C and 5MPa for 2 hours to obtain the copper-clad laminate.

[0094] The components of the resin composition and their mass fractions are shown in Tables 1 and 2; the mass unit for each component in Tables 1 and 2 is "parts".

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] Table 2 Comparative Examples

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] The above resin composition was used to prepare a copper-clad laminate according to the method in Example 1, and the following performance tests were performed on it:

[0102] (1) Dielectric constant Dk and dielectric loss factor Df: The dielectric constant Dk and dielectric loss factor Df were measured using the resonant cavity method (SPDR) at a frequency of 10 GHz. The accepting state was the original state, and the state after 4 weeks of oxygen aging treatment at 153 ℃ was the state after thermo-oxidative aging. The rate of change of Df = (Df after thermo-oxidative aging - Df in the original state) / Df in the original state.

[0103] (2) Warpage height: Cut the laminate into 300mm×300mm pieces, etch copper foil on one side, place it on a horizontal platform, and measure the vertical distance between the edge of the board and the platform. This distance is the warpage height.

[0104] (3) Flame retardancy: UL94. For test methods, please refer to UL Flame Retardancy Test Methods, Chapter 8 of UL.

[0105] (4) Adhesive application process: Based on the appearance of the prepreg during the adhesive application process, observe with the naked eye whether there is obvious sagging or stickiness. If the prepreg does not sagging or stickiness at all, the adhesive application process is excellent; if the prepreg has slight sagging, the adhesive application process is good; if the prepreg has severe sagging or stickiness, the adhesive application process is poor.

[0106] (5) Formability of the board: If the board is too brittle and forms granular fragments after being slightly bent, it is considered to have poor formability; if the board cracks or breaks but does not have obvious granular fragments when bent, it is considered to have good formability; if the board does not have the above conditions, it is considered to have excellent formability.

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] Table 4 Warpage / Flame Retardancy / Processability / Moldability

[0111]

[0112] Based on the data in Tables 3 and 4, this invention uses TAC as the main component. By compounding it with components such as elastomeric block copolymers, and simultaneously adding 50-70% by mass of filler and 10-35% by mass of halogen-free flame retardant, a high-frequency copper-clad laminate that achieves halogen-free V-0 flame retardancy can be prepared. The laminate also has a low dielectric loss (SPDR@10GHz), ranging from 0.0036 to 0.0045, and good resistance to thermo-oxidative aging. After 4 weeks of thermo-oxidative treatment at 153℃, the change rate of Df is 22.22%-52.94%.

[0113] Specifically, Example 4 exhibits a low initial dielectric loss. Using OPE-2ST helps reduce the initial dielectric loss to 0.0034, while using MX9000 results in a slightly higher initial dielectric loss of 0.0036. Examples 3, 5, and 6 demonstrate strong resistance to thermo-oxidative aging. After 4 weeks of thermo-oxidative aging treatment at 153°C, the dielectric loss change rates are only 28.21%, 22.22%, and 25.00%, respectively. These examples correspond to high TAC contents, ranging from 65% to 70%, which enhances resistance to thermo-oxidative aging. It can be seen that the improved flame retardancy of the embodiments of this invention is superior. Examples 1-7 all achieve V-0 halogen-free flame retardancy. With TAC as the main resin, a certain degree of N and P synergistic flame retardancy is formed with the halogen-free phosphorus-containing flame retardant. In Example 5, the low MX9000 polyphenylene ether content (5%) results in a large warpage height of 3.0 cm, which is not conducive to PCB processing. In Examples 1, 4 and 6, when the polyphenylene ether content was 20%, the warpage height was relatively low, between 1.1 and 1.3 cm.

[0114] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 replaced TAC with an equal amount of B3000. It can be seen that the initial Df of Comparative Example 1 was greatly optimized, decreasing from 0.0036 in Example 1 to 0.0032 in Comparative Example 1. However, the shortcomings are also very obvious. The flame-retardant sample of Comparative Example 1 burned to the fixture and had no flame retardancy. In addition, its resistance to heat and oxygen aging was also poor. After heat and oxygen aging treatment, the Df change rate of Comparative Example 1 was 112.50%, while that of Example 1 was only 47.22%.

[0115] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 used an equal amount of R100 styrene-butadiene copolymer to replace the elastic block copolymer. Although V-0 halogen-free flame retardancy and good thermo-oxidative aging resistance could still be achieved after the replacement, serious process problems such as sticky adhesive sheets that could not be rolled up, and brittle and easily broken sheets existed, making normal production and use impossible.

[0116] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 used 40 parts of TAC with a lower content to replace 50 parts of TAC in Example 1. The thermo-oxidative aging ability of Comparative Example 3 was worse, with a Df change rate of 66.67%, while that of Example 1 was 47.22%. The most serious effect was on the flame retardant performance, which was downgraded from V-0 flame retardant rating to V-1 flame retardant rating.

[0117] Compared with Example 6, Comparative Example 4 used a higher content of 80 parts of TAC to replace the 70 parts of TAC in Example 6. The high content of TAC resulted in very low adhesive viscosity, and the adhesive on the bonding sheet was severely dripped and could not be formed, making it impossible to produce and use normally, and also impossible to test the dielectric properties.

[0118] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 5 removed the phosphorus-containing flame retardant, and the corresponding flame retardant test result was V-2, which could not achieve V-0 halogen-free flame retardancy.

[0119] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 6 used an equal amount of TAIC to replace TAC, resulting in a decrease in heat and oxygen aging resistance, with the Df change rate increasing from 47.22% to 66.67%.
