[0033] Effects of the Invention

[0034] The fluororesin sheet obtained from the composition of the present disclosure has excellent properties in terms of low dielectric constant, low loss, and low thermal expansion. In addition, the sheet can be made thinner. Detailed Description

[0035] The following provides a detailed description of the present disclosure.

[0036] A great deal of research has been conducted on compositions in which fillers are mixed with fluororesins. On the other hand, in fields such as high-frequency printed wiring boards, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for high-level properties such as low dielectric constant, low loss, and low expansion. Research on obtaining such high-level low dielectric constant, low loss, and low expansion has not been sufficient.

[0037] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for obtaining a fluororesin sheet having a high level of low dielectric constant, low loss, and low expansion that has not been achieved in the past.

[0038] (Filler)

[0039] The composition of the present disclosure is characterized in that it contains a fluororesin and a filler, and the ratio of (dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (surface area of the filler (m 2 / g)) is 0.00035 to 0.00001. That is, it is characterized by using a filler that satisfies the above specific parameters.

[0040] The dielectric loss tangent of the filler is greatly affected by polar functional groups on the surface. For example, in the case of silica, the amount of Si-OH groups on the surface affects the dielectric loss tangent. More specifically, the larger the amount of Si-OH groups on the surface, the larger the dielectric loss tangent of the filler. Therefore, in the present disclosure, it is preferable to reduce the amount of Si-OH on the surface.

[0041] From such an aspect, the ratio of (dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (surface area of the filler (m 2 / g)) becomes an index indicating the amount of surface polar functional groups per unit surface area of the filler. The present inventors found that when the amount of such surface polar functional groups is reduced to be within the above specified range, a fluororesin sheet having particularly excellent low dielectric constant, low loss, and low expansion can be obtained, thereby completing the present disclosure.

[0042] In order to produce a filler having a ratio of (dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (surface area of the filler (m 2 / g)) within the above range, in addition to selecting the filler to be used, surface treatment is also required. That is, through surface treatment, the polar functional groups present on the surface of the filler react to reduce the amount of polar functional groups, thereby enabling it to be within the above range. The following provides a detailed description of such surface treatment.

[0043] The above ratio of (dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (surface area of the filler (m 2The upper limit of ( / g) is more preferably 0.00030, and even more preferably 0.00025.

[0044] In the present disclosure, regarding the dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz, using a cylindrical cavity resonator and a network analyzer, the filler powder sample is filled in a quartz tube and loaded into the resonator for measurement. The characteristics (resonance frequency and Q value) of the resonator before and after inserting the sample are obtained, and the dielectric loss tangent is calculated based on the results. This measurement method is carried out in an environment of room temperature 25°C and humidity 40% in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standard JIS 2565 Test Method for Ferrite Cores for Microwaves.

[0045] In the present disclosure, the dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz is not particularly limited, and is preferably 0.0015 or less. By being such a value, it is preferable in terms of the fluororesin sheet having low loss. The above upper limit is more preferably 0.0025, and even more preferably 0.002.

[0046] In the present disclosure, the surface area (m 2 / g) of the filler is not particularly limited, and is preferably 1 to 10. By being within the above range, it is preferable in terms of the good balance between low loss and low linear expansion of the fluororesin sheet. The above lower limit is more preferably 1.2, and even more preferably 1.5. The above upper limit is more preferably 9, and even more preferably 7.

[0047] In the present disclosure, the surface area (m 2 / g), that is, the specific surface area of the filler is a value based on the BET method. As a specific surface area measuring machine, “Macsorb HM model-1208” (manufactured by MACSORB Co., Ltd.) can be used for measurement. It should be noted that when the fluororesin sheet of the present disclosure contains two or more kinds of fillers, the surface area measured with respect to the entire mixed fillers is within the above range.

[0048] In the present disclosure, the average particle size of the filler is preferably 0.5 μm to 250 μm. It should be noted that the average particle size here is the D50 value measured by a laser analysis type particle size distribution meter.

[0049] If the average particle size is less than 0.5 μm, agglomeration of the filler occurs, and thus sufficient effects cannot be obtained, which is not preferable in this regard.

[0050] The filler that can be used in the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include one or more organic filler materials selected from aromatic polyamide fibers, polyphenylene esters, polyphenylene sulfides, polyimides, polyether ether ketones, polyphenylenes, polyamides, and wholly aromatic polyester resins; one or more inorganic filler materials selected from ceramics, talc, mica, alumina, zinc oxide, tin oxide, titanium oxide, silicon oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, potassium titanate, glass fibers, glass flakes, glass beads, silicon carbide, calcium fluoride, boron nitride, barium sulfate, molybdenum disulfide, and potassium carbonate whiskers; and the like. Two or more of them can also be used in combination.

[0051] The shape of the above-mentioned filler is not particularly limited, and spherical shape is particularly preferred. If it is spherical, it is preferred in terms of being easily processed uniformly during hole opening processing, having a small specific surface area, and low transmission loss.

[0052] Among them, silica is particularly preferably used, and spherical silica particles are most preferably used.

[0053] The above-mentioned spherical silica particles refer to particles whose particle shape is close to a perfect sphere. Specifically, the sphericity is preferably 0.80 or more, more preferably 0.85 or more, further preferably 0.90 or more, and most preferably 0.95 or more. Regarding the sphericity, a photograph is taken by SEM, and based on the area and perimeter of the observed particles, it is calculated as the value calculated by (sphericity) = {4π×(area)÷(perimeter)²}. The closer it is to 1, the closer it is to a perfect sphere. Specifically, the average value measured for 100 particles using an image processing device (Spectris Co., Ltd.: FPIA-3000) is adopted.

[0054] For the spherical silica particles used in the present disclosure, when integrating the volume from the smaller particle size side, D90 / D10 is preferably 2 or more (preferably 2.3 or more, 2.5 or more), and D50 is preferably 10 μm or less. Furthermore, D90 / D50 is preferably 1.5 or more (more preferably 1.6 or more). D50 / D10 is preferably 1.5 or more (more preferably 1.6 or more). Furthermore, D50 is more preferably 5 μm or less. Since spherical silica particles with a small particle size may enter the gaps between spherical silica particles with a large particle size, the filling property is excellent, and the fluidity can be improved. In particular, as the particle size distribution, it is preferred that the frequency on the smaller particle size side is larger compared to the Gaussian curve. The particle size can be measured using a laser diffraction scattering type particle size distribution measuring device. In addition, since coarse particles make it difficult to thin the film of the sheet, it is preferred to remove coarse particles having a specified particle size or more using a filter or the like.

[0055] The water absorbency of the above spherical silica particles is preferably 1.0% or less, more preferably 0.5% or less. The water absorbency is based on the mass of the silica particles in the dry state. In the measurement of the water absorbency, a sample in a dry state is placed at 40°C and 80% RH for 1 hour, and the water generated by heating at 200°C is measured using a Karl Fischer moisture analyzer, and thus calculated.

[0056] In addition, for the above spherical silica particles, the fluororesin sheet can be heated in an air atmosphere at 600°C for 30 minutes to burn off the fluororesin. After taking out the spherical silica particles, the above parameters can be measured by the above method.

[0057] The above silica particles are surface-treated. By performing surface treatment in advance, aggregation of the silica particles can be suppressed, and the silica particles can be well dispersed in the resin composition. In addition, it is also preferable in terms of making the ratio of (dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (surface area of the filler (m 2 / g)) within a specified range.

[0058] The above surface treatment can be appropriately selected in terms of the type of surface treatment agent and the treatment amount so that the ratio of (dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (surface area of the filler (m 2 / g)) is within a specified range.

[0059] There is no particular limitation on the above surface treatment, and any known surface treatment can be used. Specifically, for example, treatment with a silane coupling agent such as an epoxy silane, an amino silane, an isocyanate silane, a vinyl silane, an acrylic silane, a hydrophobic alkyl silane, a phenyl silane, a fluorinated alkyl silane, etc. having a reactive functional group, plasma treatment, fluorination treatment, etc. can be mentioned.

[0060] Examples of the above silane coupling agents include epoxy silanes such as γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane and β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, amino silanes such as aminopropyltriethoxysilane and N-phenylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, isocyanate silanes such as 3-isocyanatopropyltrimethoxysilane, vinyl silanes such as vinyltrimethoxysilane, and acryloyl silanes such as acryloyloxytrimethoxysilane.

[0061] The above spherical silica particles can use commercially available silica particles that satisfy the above properties. Examples of commercially available silica particles include Denka fused silica FB grade (manufactured by Denka Co., Ltd.), Denka fused silica SFP grade (manufactured by Denka Co., Ltd.), EXCELICA (manufactured by Tokuyama Corporation), high-purity synthetic spherical silica ADMAFINE (manufactured by Admatechs Co., Ltd.), ADMANANO (manufactured by Admatechs Co., Ltd.), ADMAFUSE (manufactured by Admatechs Co., Ltd.), and the like.

[0062] (The dielectric loss tangent of the filler measured at 10 GHz) / (the surface area of the filler (m 2 / g)) value can be adjusted by the filler shape, the size of the filler, the presence or absence of surface treatment, etc. More specifically, as the above spherical silica particles, particles of a specified size are preferably used, and surface treatment is further performed. The type of surface treatment agent during surface treatment also affects the above parameters. More specifically, it is particularly preferred to perform surface treatment using aminopropyltriethoxysilane, aminosilane, vinylsilane, hydrophobic alkylsilane, phenylsilane, 3-mercaptopropylsilane, 3-acryloxypropylsilane, 3-methacryloxypropylsilane, p-styrylsilane, silylpropyl succinic anhydride, 3-isocyanatepropylsilane, 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethylsilane, and the like. By performing surface treatment using these silane coupling agents, the polar functional groups present on the surface of the filler react, and the amount of polar functional groups decreases, so the electrical properties are excellent.

[0063] The above filler is preferably contained in a proportion of 50% by weight or more based on the weight of the sheet. Such a blending amount is preferable from the aspect of being low thermal expansion while maintaining a low dielectric constant and low loss. The above blending amount is more preferably 53% by weight or more, and further preferably 56% by weight or more. The upper limit of the blending amount of the filler is not particularly limited, and is preferably 68% by weight or less, and further preferably 65% by weight or less.

[0064] (fluororesin)

[0065] The composition of the present disclosure contains a fluororesin. Since the fluororesin has low dielectric properties, it can be suitably used for the purpose of the present disclosure.

[0066] The fluororesin that can be used in the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene [TFE] / hexafluoropropylene [HFP] copolymer [FEP], TFE / alkyl vinyl ether copolymer [PFA], TFE / HFP / alkyl vinyl ether copolymer [EPA], TFE / trifluorochloroethylene [CTFE] copolymer, TFE / ethylene copolymer [ETFE], polyvinylidene fluoride [PVdF], tetrafluoroethylene with a molecular weight of 300,000 or less [LMW-PTFE], etc. One kind can be used, or two or more kinds can be mixed. From the aspect of low dielectric properties, polytetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE) is particularly preferred. PTFE preferably has fibrillarity. PTFE with fibrillarity refers to PTFE that can perform paste extrusion on unfired polymer powder.

[0067] PTFE can be modified polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as modified PTFE), or homopolymer polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as homopolymer PTFE), or a mixture of modified PTFE and homopolymer PTFE. It should be noted that from the aspect of maintaining the moldability of polytetrafluoroethylene well, the content ratio of modified PTFE in high-molecular PTFE is preferably 10% by weight or more and 98% by weight or less, more preferably 50% by weight or more and 95% by weight or less. The homopolymer PTFE is not particularly limited, and the homopolymer PTFE disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-60979, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-135, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-16907, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-104816, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-190206, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-137906, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-143727, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-201217, International Publication No. 2007 / 046345 pamphlet, International Publication No. 2007 / 119829 pamphlet, International Publication No. 2009 / 001894 pamphlet, International Publication No. 2010 / 113950 pamphlet, International Publication No. 2013 / 027850 pamphlet, etc. can be preferably used. Among them, the homopolymer PTFE disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-135, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-137906, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-143727, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-201217, International Publication No. 2007 / 046345 pamphlet, International Publication No. 2007 / 119829 pamphlet, International Publication No. 2010 / 113950 pamphlet, etc., which has high tensile properties, is preferred.

[0068] The modified PTFE is composed of TFE and monomers other than TFE (hereinafter referred to as modified monomers). Examples of the modified PTFE include PTFE uniformly modified with a modified monomer, PTFE modified in the initial stage of the polymerization reaction, and PTFE modified in the final stage of the polymerization reaction, and there is no particular limitation. The modified PTFE is preferably a TFE copolymer obtained by supplying a trace amount of monomers other than TFE together with TFE for polymerization within a range that does not significantly impair the properties of the TFE homopolymer. For example, the modified PTFE disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-42446, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-16907, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-104816, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-190206, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-1711, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-261810, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-240917, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-240918, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2003 / 033555, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2005 / 061567, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2007 / 005361, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2011 / 055824, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2013 / 027850, etc. can be preferably used. Among them, the modified PTFE disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-16907, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-104816, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-1711, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-240917, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2003 / 033555, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2005 / 061567, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2007 / 005361, Pamphlet of International Publication No. 2011 / 055824, etc., which has high tensile properties, is preferred.

[0069] The modified PTFE contains TFE units based on TFE and modified monomer units based on the modified monomer. The modified monomer units are part of the molecular structure of the modified PTFE and are parts derived from the modified monomer. The modified PTFE preferably contains 0.001% by weight to 0.500% by weight of the modified monomer units based on all the monomer units, and preferably contains 0.01% by weight to 0.30% by weight. All the monomer units are parts derived from all the monomers in the molecular structure of the modified PTFE.

[0070] The modified monomer is not particularly limited as long as it can copolymerize with TFE, and examples thereof include perfluoroolefins such as hexafluoropropylene (HFP); fluorochloroolefins such as chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE); hydrogen-containing fluorinated olefins such as trifluoroethylene and vinylidene fluoride (VDF); perfluoro vinyl ethers; perfluoroalkyl ethylene (PFAE), ethylene, etc. The modified monomer used may be one kind or a plurality of kinds.

[0071] The perfluoro vinyl ether is not particularly limited. For example, perfluoro unsaturated compounds represented by the following general formula (1) can be cited, etc.

[0072] CF 2 =CF-ORf…(1)

[0073] In the formula, Rf represents a perfluoro organic group.

[0074] In this specification, the perfluoro organic group is an organic group in which all hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms. The above perfluoro organic group may have an ether oxygen.

[0075] As the perfluoro vinyl ether, for example, perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) (PAVE) in which Rf in the above general formula (1) is a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms can be cited. The number of carbon atoms of the perfluoroalkyl group is preferably 1 to 5. As the perfluoroalkyl group in PAVE, for example, perfluoromethyl, perfluoroethyl, perfluoropropyl, perfluorobutyl, perfluoropentyl, perfluorohexyl, etc. can be cited. As PAVE, perfluoropropyl vinyl ether (PPVE) and perfluoromethyl vinyl ether (PMVE) are preferred.

[0076] The above perfluoroalkyl ethylene (PFAE) is not particularly limited. For example, perfluorobutyl ethylene (PFBE), perfluorohexyl ethylene (PFHE), etc. can be cited.

[0077] As the modifying monomer in the modified PTFE, at least one selected from the group consisting of HFP, CTFE, VDF, PAVE, PFAE, and ethylene is preferred.

[0078] The above fluororesin is preferably not melt-moldable. Not being melt-moldable means that even when heated above the melting point, the resin does not have sufficient fluidity and cannot be molded by the melt-molding methods commonly used in resins. PTFE conforms to this situation.

[0079] In the present disclosure, it is preferred to use such a non-melt-moldable fluororesin and form a fluororesin sheet by a fibrillation molding method. This molding method will be described later.

[0080] The above PTFE preferably has an SSG of 2.0 to 2.3. If such PTFE is used, it is easy to obtain a PTFE film having high strength (cohesion and puncture strength per unit thickness). PTFE having a large molecular weight has long molecular chains, so it is difficult to form a structure in which the molecular chains are regularly arranged. In this case, the length of the amorphous part increases and the degree of entanglement of the molecules increases. It is considered that when the degree of entanglement of the molecules is high, the PTFE film is not easily deformed by the applied load and exhibits excellent mechanical strength. In addition, if PTFE having a large molecular weight is used, it is easy to obtain a PTFE film having a small average pore size.

[0081] The lower limit of the above SSG is more preferably 2.05, and further preferably 2.1. The upper limit of the above SSG is more preferably 2.25, and further preferably 2.2.

[0082] The standard specific gravity [SSG] is obtained by preparing a specimen in accordance with ASTM D-4895-89 and measuring the specific gravity of the obtained specimen by the water displacement method.

[0083] In the present embodiment, the molecular weight (number average molecular weight) of PTFE constituting the PTFE powder is, for example, in the range of 2 million to 12 million. The lower limit value of the molecular weight of PTFE may be 3 million or 4 million. The upper limit value of the molecular weight of PTFE may be 10 million.

[0084] As a method for measuring the number average molecular weight of PTFE, there are a method obtained from the standard specific gravity (Standard Specific Gravity) and a measurement method using the dynamic viscoelasticity during melting. The method obtained from the standard specific gravity can be implemented by using a sample molded in accordance with ASTM D-4895 98 and the water displacement method according to ASTM D-792. The measurement method using dynamic viscoelasticity is described, for example, by S. Wu in Polymer Engineering & Science, 1988, Vol. 28, 538 and this literature 1989, Vol. 29, 273.

[0085] The refractive index of the above PTFE is preferably in the range of 1.2 to 1.6. By having such a refractive index, it is preferable from the aspect of low dielectric. The refractive index can be made within the above range by methods such as adjusting the polarizability and the flexibility of the main chain. The lower limit of the above refractive index is more preferably 1.25, more preferably 1.30, and most preferably 1.32. The upper limit of the above refractive index is more preferably 1.55, more preferably 1.50, and most preferably 1.45.

[0086] The above refractive index is a value measured using a refractometer (Abbemat 300).

[0087] In addition, the maximum endothermic peak temperature (crystal melting point) of the above PTFE is preferably 340 ± 7°C.

[0088] PTFE can be low melting point PTFE with a maximum peak temperature of the endothermic curve on the crystal melting curve measured by a differential scanning calorimeter of 338°C or less, and high melting point PTFE with a maximum peak temperature of the endothermic curve on the crystal melting curve measured by a differential scanning calorimeter of 342°C or more.

The characteristics (resonance frequency and Q value) of the resonator before and after inserting the sample were obtained, and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle was calculated based on the results.

[0164] This measurement method is based on the test method for ferrite cores for microwaves specified in Japanese Industrial Standard JIS 2565.

[0172] Add 18 wt% - 23 wt% of oil (IP solvent 2028) to the obtained mixed powder, mix it, and cure for about 5 hours.

[0173] Preform the cured composition under a pressure of 3 MPa, extrude the preformed body at 40°C and 50 mm / min to obtain an extruded sample. Roll the extruded sample using a two-roll calender to obtain a sample with a film thickness of 125 μm, dry it at 200°C for 2 hours, and sinter it at 360°C for 15 minutes to obtain a sheet. Furthermore, adjust the pressure of the two-roll calender to produce a sample with a film thickness of 30 μm, and observe whether there are any holes or cracks.

[0174] For each of the obtained samples, evaluation is carried out based on the following criteria.

[0177] [Coefficient of linear expansion]

[0178] TMA measurement using TMA-7100 (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation) was performed in the tensile mode. As the sample piece, a piece cut to a length of 20 mm, a width of 5 mm, and a thickness of 150 μm was used. The distance between the chucks was set to 10 mm, and while applying a load of 49 mN, the linear expansion rate was determined from the displacement amount of the sample at 0 to 150°C at a heating rate of 2°C / minute.

[0179] [Thin-film formation to 30 μm]

[0180] In the compositions shown in Table 2 below, in the composition of PTFE / silica = 40 / 60, the case where a film can be formed without holes or cracks at a thickness of 30 μm is marked as 〇, and the case where a film cannot be formed is marked as ×.

In addition, the Df of Example 8 with PTFE / silica = 40 / 60 (mass ratio) at 80 GHz is 0.0008, and it also has excellent properties at 80 GHz.

[0184] For the sheets of PTFE / silica = 40 / 60 in Examples 1 and 8 above, the rate of change of the relative dielectric constant in the temperature range of -50°C to 150°C was measured based on the following method. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0186] Using a split cylinder type dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent measuring device (manufactured by EM lab), Dk at 10 GHz was measured at every 10°C scale from -50°C to 150°C.

[0187] The rate of change from -50°C to 150°C was calculated from the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the measured Dk values.
