Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polymers, and in particular to an ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer and a preparation method and application thereof, an ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer composition and application thereof, and a polymer coating. Background Art

[0002] Liquid butadiene polymer molecular chain contains only carbon-hydrogen structure, has extremely low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and is widely used in the field of high-frequency electronic circuits. According to microstructure classification, liquid butadiene polymer can be divided into high cis liquid butadiene polymer, high trans liquid butadiene polymer, high vinyl liquid butadiene polymer and low cis liquid butadiene polymer. In the free radical crosslinking reaction, the crosslinking activity of the vinyl structure is 2 times that of the trans structure and 4 times that of the cis structure, so the thermal crosslinking and photocrosslinking activities are higher. The vinyl structure content in the high vinyl liquid butadiene polymer is greater than 65%, because most of the double bonds are located in the molecular side chain, so the photo (or thermal) crosslinking reaction activity is high, but due to the inherent non-polarity of the liquid butadiene polymer, the heat resistance of the coating formed after curing and the adhesion to the metal surface are not satisfactory.

[0003] CN113698520A discloses a liquid butadiene polymer with a number average molecular weight of 2500-5500, a molecular weight distribution of 1-1.2, and a vinyl content of 85-95%. The liquid butadiene polymer has a relatively low dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and film-forming properties, but the heat resistance and adhesion to metals are not satisfactory. CN114106228A discloses a method for preparing a liquid butadiene polymer and its products, which can meet the cross-linking and curing activity requirements of the high-end electronic industry, but the problems of heat resistance, adhesion to metals, and adhesion are also not solved. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the heat resistance of the liquid butadiene polymer, solve the adhesion and adhesion to metals of the liquid butadiene polymer, and meet the rapid development of high-frequency communication technology.

The coating formed by the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer shows improved thermal expansion performance, while improving the good adhesion and bonding to metals of the liquid butadiene polymer, thereby completing the present invention.

[0022] In the present invention, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution index (M w / M n) was determined by gel permeation chromatography. The specific test method was: using HLC-8320 gel permeation chromatograph produced by Tosoh Corporation of Japan, the chromatographic column was TSKgelSuperMultiporeHZ-N, the standard column was TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ, the solvent was chromatographic pure tetrahydrofuran (THF), and narrow distribution polystyrene was used as the standard sample. The polymer sample was prepared into a tetrahydrofuran solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL, the injection volume was 10.00 μL, the flow rate was 0.35 mL / min, and the test temperature was 40.0°C.

[0023] In the present invention, the content of metal elements in the polymer is determined by plasma method, and the specific test method is: using the Optima 8300 full-spectrum direct-reading ICP spectrometer of PerkinElmer (PE) of the United States, equipped with a medium-step grating, a solid-state detector, a dual-path dual solid-state detector in the ultraviolet light region and the visible light region, and using flat-panel plasma technology; the instrument operating parameters are as follows: high-frequency power 1300W, plasma gas flow 15L / min, atomizing gas flow 0.55L / min, auxiliary gas flow 0.2L / min, peristaltic pump speed 1.50mL / min, integration time 10s, plasma axial observation.

[0024] In the present invention, the linear thermal expansion coefficient is measured by thermomechanical analysis (TMA) according to the method specified in GB / T 36800.2-2018.

[0025] In the present invention, the peel strength between the polymer coating and the metal substrate (copper foil) is tested using the method specified in IPC-TM-650.

[0026] In the present invention, the interlayer bonding strength of the metal substrate after the polymer coating is cured is tested according to the DB44T1088-2012 standard.

[0027] The first aspect of the present invention provides an ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, wherein, based on the total weight of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of the butadiene segment is 90-99% by weight, and the content of the ethylene oxide segment is 1-10% by weight; based on the total weight of the butadiene segment, the content of the 1,4-structural unit is 10-25% by weight, the content of the 1,2-structural unit is 50-70% by weight, and the content of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit is 15-35% by weight.

[0028] According to the present invention, the content of the ethylene oxide segment is 1-10% by weight based on the total weight of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer. In the present invention, the inventors have found that when the content of the ethylene oxide segment in the polymer is controlled to meet the above range, the adhesion of the coating formed by the polymer to the metal substrate can be significantly improved, and the dielectric loss of the polymer coating can be reduced. Specifically, when the content of the ethylene oxide segment is less than 1% by weight, the adhesion of the coating formed by the polymer to the metal is not significantly improved; when the content of the ethylene oxide segment is greater than 10% by weight, the dielectric loss of the polymer coating increases. Based on the total weight of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of the ethylene oxide segment can be 1 weight %, 2 weight %, 3 weight %, 4 weight %, 5 weight %, 6 weight %, 7 weight %, 8 weight %, 9 weight %, 10 weight %, preferably 2-8 weight %; the content of the butadiene segment can be 90 weight %, 91 weight %, 92 weight %, 93 weight %, 94 weight %, 95 weight %, 96 weight %, 97 weight %, 98 weight %, 99 weight %, preferably 92-98 weight %.

[0029] In the present invention, in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the butadiene segment is a high-vinyl cyclized butadiene segment.

[0030] According to the present invention, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of 1,4-structural units is 10-25% by weight, for example, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 or 25% by weight. Preferably, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of 1,4-structural units is 10-20% by weight. When the content of 1,4-structural units is less than 10% by weight, it is necessary to carry out at a lower temperature, which affects the content of cyclized structural units of the polymer; when the content of 1,4-structural units is greater than 25% by weight, the double bonds that can participate in curing and crosslinking are reduced, the crosslinking density of the polymer coating is reduced, and the mechanical properties are deteriorated.

[0031] According to the present invention, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of 1,2-structural units is 50-70% by weight, for example, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 or 70% by weight. Preferably, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of 1,2-structural units is 50-65% by weight. More preferably, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of 1,2-structural units is 52-62% by weight. When the content of 1,2-structural units is less than 50% by weight, the crosslinking density of the coating formed by the polymer decreases and the mechanical properties deteriorate; when the content of 1,2-structural units is greater than 70% by weight, the content of cyclized 1,2-structural units decreases, which is not conducive to improving the thermal expansion coefficient.

[0032] According to the present invention, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit is 15-35% by weight, such as 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 or 35% by weight. Preferably, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit is 18-35% by weight. More preferably, based on the total weight of the butadiene segments in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the content of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit is 20-35% by weight. In the present invention, if the content of cyclized 1,2-structural units is less than 15% by weight, the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating after curing is not significantly improved; if the content of cyclized 1,2-structural units is greater than 35% by weight, in order to prepare liquid polybutadiene rubber with a higher cyclized structure content, increasing the polymerization temperature becomes the only option, which is not conducive to increasing the total 1,2-structure content of the polymer, and the peel strength between the coating formed by the polymer and the metal substrate decreases, and the interlayer bonding force between copper foils decreases after the polymer coating is cured.

[0033] According to the present invention, the molar ratio of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit to the 1,2-structural unit in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer is 0.2-0.7:1.

[0034] In the present invention, when the molar ratio of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit to the 1,2-structural unit in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer meets the above range, the comprehensive performance of the polymer coating after curing is better.

[0035] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the cyclized 1,2-structural unit to the 1,2-structural unit in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer is 0.3-0.6:1.

[0036] According to the present invention, the number average molecular weight (M) of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer is n ) is 3000-10000 g / mol, preferably 4500-8000 g / mol.

[0037] According to the present invention, the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer not only has a molecular weight suitable for molding, but also has a narrow molecular weight distribution. Generally, according to the present invention, the molecular weight distribution index (M w / M n ) is 1-1.25, preferably 1-1.15.

[0038] According to the present invention, based on the total weight of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the weight content of the metal element in the polymer is 200 ppm or less, preferably 100 ppm or less, more preferably 50 ppm or less, and further preferably 20 ppm or less. Controlling the metal content in the polymer is conducive to reducing the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the cross-linked and cured product, thereby obtaining better applications in the field of electronic communications.

[0039] According to the present invention, the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer after curing is 45×10 -6 m / m / ℃-75×10 -6 m / m / ℃, preferably 48×10 -6 m / m / ℃-72×10 -6 m / m / ℃, more preferably 50×10 -6 m / m / ℃-70×10 -6 m / m / ℃.

[0040] According to the present invention, the peel strength between the coating formed by the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer and the metal substrate (such as copper foil) is 1-1.3 N / mm, preferably 1.06-1.3 N / mm, and more preferably 1.12-1.3 N / mm.

[0041] According to the present invention, the interlayer bonding strength of the metal substrate after curing between the coatings formed by the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer is 0.9-1.2 N / mm, preferably 0.94-1.2 N / mm, and more preferably 1.02-1.2 N / mm.

[0042] According to the present invention, the dielectric loss of the 10 GHz planar capacitor of the copper foil laminate after curing of the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer is ≤0.0045, preferably ≤0.0042, and more preferably ≤0.0040.

[0043] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing an ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, wherein the method comprises:

[0044] (1) in the presence of a solvent, a structure regulator and an initiator, continuously adding 1,3-butadiene monomer into a reactor to carry out anionic solution polymerization reaction to obtain a polymerization reaction solution containing a butadiene polymer, wherein the contact is carried out at a temperature of 60-100° C., the structure regulator comprises component A and component B, the component A is a tertiary amine, the component B is an alkali metal alcohol salt, the molar ratio of the component B to the component A is 0.1-0.5:1, and the solvent is a solvent containing an aliphatic heterocyclic ring;

[0045] (2) After the product obtained in step (1) is brought into first contact with an alkyl aluminum compound, ethylene oxide monomer is added for copolymerization to obtain an ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer; wherein the amount of ethylene oxide monomer added is 1-10% by weight based on the total weight of the 1,3-butadiene monomer and the ethylene oxide monomer.

[0046] In the present invention, the term “continuously” means that the 1,3-butadiene monomer required for polymerization is added gradually and continuously into the reactor, rather than adding all the 1,3-butadiene monomer required for polymerization into the reactor at one time.

[0047] In the present invention, by continuously adding the 1,3-butadiene monomer required for polymerization into the reactor, the polymerization reaction can be precisely controlled to ensure that the active species of the initiator are always in a hungry state, which is more conducive to the formation of the 1,2-cyclized structure. Further, the content of the cyclized 1,2-structure in the butadiene polymer is increased. After the butadiene polymer with a high content of cyclized 1,2-structure is contacted with an alkyl aluminum compound, it is copolymerized with an ethylene oxide monomer to obtain the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer described in the first aspect of the present invention. In particular, when the amount of ethylene oxide monomer added in the 1,3-butadiene monomer and the ethylene oxide monomer meets the above range, the adhesion between the polymer and the metal substrate can be significantly improved, and the thermal expansion coefficient and dielectric loss of the polymer coating after curing can also be controlled within an ideal range.

[0048] In the present invention, in the ethylene oxide-butadiene block polymer, the 1,2-structural unit content, the 1,4-structural unit content and the cyclized 1,2-structural unit content in the butadiene segment are determined by step (1), and the copolymerization reaction with the ethylene oxide monomer in step (2) does not affect the 1,2-structural unit content, the 1,4-structural unit content and the cyclized 1,2-structural unit content in the butadiene segment.

[0049] Furthermore, based on the total weight of the 1,3-butadiene monomer and the ethylene oxide monomer, the amount of ethylene oxide monomer added is 2-8% by weight.

[0050] According to the present invention, the conditions of the copolymerization reaction include: a polymerization temperature of 50° C. to 100° C., and a polymerization time of 20-60 min.

[0051] Furthermore, the conditions of the copolymerization reaction include: a polymerization temperature of 60° C. to 90° C., and a polymerization time of 30-50 min.

[0052] According to the present invention, based on 100 g of solvent, the rate of adding 1,3-butadiene into the reactor is 0.1-0.5 g / min, preferably 0.15-0.35 g / min.

[0053] According to the present invention, butadiene monomer is continuously processed at a temperature of 60°C to 90°C, preferably at a temperature of 70°C to 90°C.

[0054] In the present invention, the anionic solution polymerization reaction can be carried out under a pressure of 0.005-1.5MPa, more preferably under a pressure of 0.1-1MPa, and further preferably under a pressure of 0.2-0.6MPa. In the present invention, pressure refers to gauge pressure. The polymerization time can be selected according to the final monomer concentration and polymerization temperature of the polymerization reaction, and can generally be 30-120min, preferably 40-80min.

[0055] In the present invention, the anionic polymerization reaction is carried out in an atmosphere formed by an inert gas. The inert gas refers to a gas that does not chemically interact with reactants, reaction products and solvents under polymerization conditions, such as nitrogen and / or zero group element gas (such as argon).

[0056] According to the present invention, in step (2), the alkyl aluminum compound is selected from at least one of trimethyl aluminum, triethyl aluminum, tripropyl aluminum, triisopropyl aluminum, tributyl aluminum and triisobutyl aluminum.

[0057] According to the present invention, the molar ratio of the alkyl aluminum compound to the initiator is 1-10:1.

[0058] In the present invention, when the molar ratio of the alkyl aluminum compound to the initiator is controlled to meet the above range, the side reaction in the anionic polymerization process of ethylene oxide can be suppressed to prepare a butadiene-ethylene oxide block polymer.

[0059] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the alkyl aluminum compound to the initiator is 2-5:1.

[0060] According to the present invention, the time for the first contact between the product obtained in step (1) and the alkyl aluminum compound is 1-10 minutes.

[0061] In the present invention, the product containing the active chain of butadiene polymer obtained in step (1) is first contacted with an alkyl aluminum compound in advance, and the time of the first contact is specifically controlled to meet the above range, so that the butadiene active chain and the metal alkyl compound form a complex with a specific structure, the activity of anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide is suppressed, and a butadiene-ethylene oxide block polymer is prepared.

[0062] Furthermore, the first contact time between the product obtained in step (1) and the alkyl aluminum compound is 2-8 minutes.
