Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of low-temperature co-fired ceramics, and particularly relates to a ceramic binder, a ceramic slurry, and a ceramic sheet. Background Art

[0002] Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC), as an important branch in the field of modern electronic packaging, plays an irreplaceable role in the construction of high-frequency, high-speed, and high-density electronic systems due to its excellent electrical properties, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and processability.

[0003] The manufacturing process of LTCC generally includes the following steps: First, the ceramic powder is subjected to ball milling and dispersion treatment, and then a plasticizer and a binder are added, followed by continued ball milling and mixing. After degassing treatment, a ceramic slurry composition with appropriate viscosity is obtained. Then, tape casting is carried out using equipment such as a doctor blade and an inverse roll coater. After removing volatile components such as solvents by heating and other means, the ceramic sheet is peeled off from the base film. A conductive paste for forming internal electrodes is coated on the obtained ceramic sheet by screen printing. The coated ceramic sheets are alternately overlapped in multiple layers and heated and pressed to form a laminate. Subsequently, the adhesive resin components in the laminate are subjected to thermal decomposition treatment (i.e., debinding treatment) to remove these components. After that, through a firing process, a ceramic sintered body is obtained, and external electrodes are sintered on its end faces, and finally a multilayer ceramic capacitor is made.

[0004] In the field of LTCC technology, the glass / ceramic composite system is currently the most widely used system. Among them, the borate glass system mainly composed of B2O3-SiO2 has attracted much attention because it can significantly reduce the sintering temperature. In the traditional preparation process, polyvinyl butyral resin (abbreviated as PVB) is generally selected as the binder. However, when the PVB binder is used in the borate glass system, the stability of the prepared slurry is relatively low, and the key properties such as the tensile strength of the ceramic sheet after tape casting are insufficient.

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

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the existing PVB ceramic binder has low stability and is prone to thickening back when used in the borate glass system mainly composed of B2O3-SiO2, the present invention provides a ceramic binder, a ceramic slurry, and a ceramic sheet.

[0007] The object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a ceramic binder, which comprises a polymer containing polar structural units, hard structural units and flexible structural units;

[0009] The glass transition temperature Tg1 of the hard structural units is 80 °C or higher; the glass transition temperature Tg2 of the flexible structural units is 0 °C or lower;

[0010] In the polymer, the mass ratio of the polar structural units, the flexible structural units to the hard structural units is (1-5):(35-65):(35-65);

[0011] In the polymer, the hydroxyl content is less than 0.1 wt%.

[0012] Preferably, the polar structural units include any one or a combination of at least two of carboxylic acid structural units, amide structural units, and sulfonic acid structural units.

[0013] Preferably, the hard structural units include any one or a combination of at least two of acrylate structural units, aromatic vinyl structural units, and nitrile structural units.

[0014] Preferably, the flexible structural units include polyether acrylate structural units.

[0015] Preferably, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyether acrylate structural units is 1000-4000, and / or the glass transition temperature Tg2 of the polyether acrylate structural units is -10 to -90 °C.

[0016] Preferably, the flexible structural units are 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.

[0017] Preferably, the glass transition temperature Tg of the polymer is 0-30 °C; and / or the weight-average molecular weight of the polymer is 150,000-300,000.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a ceramic slurry, which comprises ceramic powder and the aforementioned ceramic binder.

[0019] Preferably, the content of B2O3 in the ceramic powder is 20 wt% - 40 wt%; in the ceramic binder, the flexible structural units of the polymer include polyether acrylate structural units; the content of the polyether acrylate structural units is 15% - 35% of the content of B2O3.

[0020] Preferably, the solid content of the ceramic slurry is 45% - 60%, and the viscosity is 1000 - 8000 cp.

[0021] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a ceramic sheet prepared from the aforementioned ceramic slurry.

[0022] When traditional PVB binders are used in borate glass systems, the prepared slurries have low stability, are prone to thickening back, which is not conducive to subsequent processing, and there are also problems with insufficient key properties such as the tensile strength of the ceramic sheet after calendaring. Through a large amount of research and analysis, the inventors of the present invention speculate that the reason may be that the large number of hydroxyl groups in PVB easily interact with B2O3 in the glass powder, resulting in slurry thickening back and performance degradation.

[0023] In the present invention, hard monomers and soft monomers with specific glass transition temperatures are used, combined with polar monomers, and with specific contents among the three. Through polymerization, a polymer with polar structural units, flexible structural units, and hard structural units is obtained. Since none of the monomers used contain hydroxyl groups, the resulting polymer also does not contain hydroxyl groups. The ceramic slurry prepared from this ceramic binder has high stability and improves the problem of thickening back. At the same time, due to the structural units with the above specific glass transition temperatures and content compositions in the polymer, the problems of low tensile strength and toughness of the ceramic sheet can be improved.

[0037] In the present invention, the above-mentioned polar structural unit, hard structural unit, and flexible structural unit are respectively obtained by polymerizing polar monomers, hard monomers, and soft monomers. Among them, the monomers exist in the polymer obtained by polymerization in the form of the corresponding structural units. The glass transition temperature, mass ratio, molecular weight, etc. of the above various structural units are based on the glass transition temperature, mass ratio to each other, and molecular weight of their corresponding monomers.

[0038] The above various monomers can be obtained by commercial purchase. For example, for the aforementioned soft monomers, monomers with corresponding parameters can be selected and purchased according to the required molecular weight, degree of polymerization, and Tg2.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the glass transition temperature Tg of the polymer is 0 to 30 °C.

[0040] Specifically, the glass transition temperature Tg of the polymer can be 0 °C, 5 °C, 10 °C, 14 °C, 18 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C, or 30 °C, etc.
