Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of low-temperature co-fired ceramics technology, specifically relating to a ceramic slurry and ceramic sheets. Background Technology

[0002] Low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), as an important branch of modern electronic packaging, play an irreplaceable role in the construction of high-frequency, high-speed, and high-density electronic systems due to their excellent electrical properties, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and machinability.

[0003] The manufacturing process of LTCC typically includes the following steps: First, ceramic powder is dispersed by ball milling, followed by the addition of plasticizers and binders, and further ball milling and mixing. After degassing, a ceramic slurry composition with a suitable viscosity is obtained. Next, it is cast using equipment such as a doctor blade or reverse roller coater. After removing volatile components such as solvents by heating, ceramic sheets are peeled off from the base film. Conductive paste for forming internal electrodes is applied to the obtained ceramic sheets using a screen printing process. Multiple layers of coated ceramic sheets are alternately overlapped and heated and pressed together to form a laminate. Subsequently, the binder resin components in the laminate are thermally decomposed (i.e., degreasing) to remove these components. After this, a firing process is performed to obtain a sintered ceramic body, and external electrodes are sintered on its end faces, ultimately producing a multilayer ceramic capacitor.

[0004] In the field of LTCC (Low-Temperature Ceramic Carbide) technology, glass / ceramic composite systems are currently the most widely used systems. Among them, borate glass systems with B2O3-SiO2 as the main component have attracted much attention due to their ability to significantly reduce sintering temperature. However, in traditional preparation processes, polyvinyl butyral resin (PVB) is generally used as the binder. But when PVB binder is used in borate glass systems, the resulting slurry has low stability, and the key properties such as tensile strength of the cast ceramic sheets are insufficient.

[0005] Therefore, developing a ceramic binder suitable for borate casting is of great significance for improving the production efficiency and product quality of LTCC. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problem of low stability and easy thickening of ceramic slurries prepared by existing PVB ceramic binders when used in borate glass systems with B2O3-SiO2 as the main component, this invention provides a ceramic slurry and ceramic sheets.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a ceramic slurry, comprising ceramic powder and a ceramic binder; the ceramic powder contains B2O3, and the mass content of B2O3 in the ceramic powder is 20wt%~40wt%; the ceramic binder comprises a polymer, the polymer containing polar structural units, hard structural units and flexible structural units; the glass transition temperature Tg1 of the hard structural units is above 80℃; the glass transition temperature Tg2 of the flexible structural units is below 0℃; the polar structural units include hydroxyl-containing structural units, and simultaneously contain any one or a combination of at least two of carboxylic acid structural units, amide structural units, and sulfonic acid structural units; in the ceramic slurry, the content of hydroxyl-containing structural units in the polymer is 0.2%~1% of the B2O3 content in the ceramic powder.

[0009] Preferably, the content of hydroxyl-containing structural units in the polymer is 0.5~2wt%.

[0010] Preferably, the hydroxyl-containing structural unit is selected from one or more of the 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate structural unit and the 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate structural unit; the carboxylic acid structural unit is selected from one or more of the acrylic acid structural unit and the methacrylic acid structural unit; the amide structural unit is selected from one or more of the acrylamide structural unit and the methacrylamide structural unit; and the sulfonic acid structural unit is selected from the 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid structural unit.

[0011] Preferably, the hard structural unit includes any one or a combination of at least two of the following: acrylate structural units, aromatic ethylene structural units, and nitrile structural units.

[0012] Preferably, the flexible structural unit comprises a polyether acrylate structural unit, wherein the weight-average molecular weight of the polyether acrylate structural unit is 1000~4000, and / or the glass transition temperature Tg2 of the polyether acrylate structural unit is -10~-90℃.

[0013] Preferably, the flexible structural unit is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate structural units, polyethylene glycol monoethyl ether acrylate structural units, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate structural units, polyethylene glycol monoethyl ether methacrylate structural units, and polypropylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate structural units.

[0014] Preferably, in the polymer, the mass ratio of polar structural units, flexible structural units and hard structural units is (1~5):(35~65):(35~65).

[0015] Preferably, the polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 0 to 30°C; and / or, the polymer has a weight-average molecular weight of 15w to 30w.

[0016] Preferably, in the ceramic slurry, the mass of the ceramic binder is 10-20% of the mass of the ceramic powder. Preferably, the solid content of the ceramic slurry is 45%-60%, and the viscosity is 1000-8000 cp.

[0017] Secondly, the present invention provides a ceramic sheet prepared from the aforementioned ceramic slurry.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] When traditional PVB binders are used in borate glass systems, the resulting slurry exhibits low stability and is prone to thickening, which is detrimental to subsequent processing and can lead to insufficient tensile strength and other key properties in the cast ceramic sheets. Through extensive research and analysis, the inventors of this invention speculate that the reason may lie in the fact that the abundant hydroxyl groups in PVB readily interact with B2O3 in the glass powder, resulting in slurry thickening and performance degradation.

[0020] In this invention, the content of hydroxyl-containing structural units in the ceramic binder is adjusted to 0.2%~1% of the B2O3 content in the ceramic powder. At the same time, polar structural units such as carboxylic acid structural units, amide structural units, and sulfonic acid structural units are introduced to work together. In addition, hard structural units and flexible structural units with specific glass transition temperatures are combined to improve the phenomenon of thickening of ceramic slurry and to a certain extent improve the problem of low tensile strength and toughness of ceramic sheets. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention, and are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0022] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a ceramic slurry, comprising ceramic powder and a ceramic binder; the ceramic powder contains B2O3, and the mass content of B2O3 in the ceramic powder is 20wt%~40wt%; the ceramic binder comprises a polymer, the polymer containing polar structural units, hard structural units and flexible structural units; the glass transition temperature Tg1 of the hard structural units is above 80℃; the glass transition temperature Tg2 of the flexible structural units is below 0℃; the polar structural units include hydroxyl-containing structural units, and simultaneously contain any one or a combination of at least two of carboxylic acid structural units, amide structural units, and sulfonic acid structural units; in the ceramic slurry, the content of hydroxyl-containing structural units in the polymer is 0.2%~1% of the B2O3 content in the ceramic powder.

In addition, hard structural units and flexible structural units with specific glass transition temperatures are combined to improve the phenomenon of thickening of ceramic slurry and to a certain extent improve the problem of low tensile strength and toughness of ceramic sheets.

[0024] Preferably, the content of hydroxyl-containing structural units in the polymer is 0.5~2wt%.

[0025] According to the present invention, the hydroxyl-containing structural unit can be a structural unit formed in a polymer by free radical polymerization of various hydroxyl-containing monomers commonly used in the art. Preferably, the hydroxyl-containing structural unit is selected from one or more of the 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate structural unit and the 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate structural unit.

[0026] In this invention, the polar structural units in the polymer, in addition to hydroxyl-containing structural units, also contain any one or a combination of at least two of carboxylic acid structural units, amide structural units, and sulfonic acid structural units. More preferably, it is a combination of any one or at least two of amide structural units and carboxylic acid structural units.

[0027] At this point, when the content of hydroxyl-containing structural units in the polymer is 0.2% to 1% of the B2O3 content in the ceramic powder, the combined use of multiple polar structural units can improve the phenomenon of thickening of ceramic slurry to a certain extent, and help improve the tensile strength and elongation at break of ceramic sheets.

[0034] In addition, the glass transition temperature Tg2 of the polyether acrylate structural unit is -10 to -90°C, and more preferably -30 to -70°C.

[0035] In the polymer, the mass ratio of polar structural units, flexible structural units and hard structural units is (1~5):(35~65):(35~65).

[0036] Specifically, the mass ratio of polar structural units, flexible structural units and hard structural units can be 5:35:60, 5:40:55, 5:50:45, 5:60:35, 1:65:34, 2:55:43, 3:47:50, or 4:51:45, etc.

[0037] In this invention, the aforementioned polar structural units, hard structural units, and flexible structural units are obtained by polymerization of polar monomers, hard monomers, and soft monomers, respectively. The monomers exist in the polymer as their corresponding structural units. The glass transition temperature, mass ratio, molecular weight, etc., of each type of structural unit are based on the glass transition temperature, mass ratio, and molecular weight of their respective monomers.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this invention, the content of the aforementioned polar structural units refers to the total content of one or more of the polar structural units other than the hydroxyl-containing structural units. It is understood that when a hard structural unit contains multiple different structural units, the content of the aforementioned hard structural units ranges from the total content of all such structural units.

[0039] The aforementioned monomers can be obtained commercially. For example, for the aforementioned soft monomers, monomers with the corresponding parameters can be selected and purchased based on the required molecular weight, degree of polymerization, and Tg2.
