[0003] Electromagnetic Shielding Film (EMI Shielding Film) is a functional film used in FPC to block external electromagnetic interference (EMI), suppress internal signal leakage and improve signal integrity. It is the core material for FPC to work stably in high frequency, flexibility and harsh environment, which is usually composed of conductive materials (such as silver, copper, carbon, etc.) and high polymer substrates (such as polyimide PI, polyethylene terephthalate PET, etc.).

[0004] Traditional electromagnetic shielding films usually adopt a three-layer structure of "insulating layer-conductive layer-adhesive layer". This structure is prone to delamination and fracture in the dynamic bending application of FPC products, which further leads to shorter service life of FPC products. Therefore, with the future development of FPC towards higher frequency compatibility (such as THz frequency band), adaptability to extreme environment (such as space electronic environment) and intelligentization (such as self-adaptive tuning shielding), the existing electromagnetic shielding film cannot meet the requirements of higher and higher bendability and service life of FPC products.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application. Embodiment one

[0020] The present embodiment provides a manufacturing method of a flexible circuit board with a composite electromagnetic shielding film, as shown in the following figure, comprising: Figure 1 S1: providing an elastic matrix solution and a metal conductive solution respectively; S2: forming an electromagnetic shielding film solution based on the elastic matrix solution and the metal conductive solution; S3: providing a flexible board substrate, coating the electromagnetic shielding film solution on the flexible board substrate, so that the electromagnetic shielding film solution forms a composite electromagnetic shielding film, and obtaining a target flexible circuit board. In the present embodiment, by mixing the elastic matrix solution and the metal conductive solution, a mixed-state electromagnetic shielding film solution with electromagnetic shielding function is formed. This solution forms a functional film for suppressing electromagnetic interference, i.e. a composite electromagnetic shielding film, on the flexible board substrate through coating process. This film with mixed-state structure has excellent electromagnetic shielding efficiency and can significantly improve the bendability of the formed target flexible circuit board, thereby effectively overcoming the impact of electromagnetic shielding film rupture on product life during dynamic bending application of the flexible circuit board with the composite electromagnetic shielding film. Compared with the traditional three-layer structure electromagnetic shielding film, the composite electromagnetic shielding film provided by the present application is not prone to delamination and rupture in the dynamic bending application of FPC products, and can simultaneously meet the requirements of higher and higher bendability and life of FPC products, providing important research value for the future development of dynamic bending of flexible circuit boards. At the same time, in the manufacturing process of the flexible circuit board with the composite electromagnetic shielding film, there is no need for punching, no need for tearing off the transfer film, the process is simple, the coating shape can be customized, and fixed-point and fixed-quantity coating can be realized. The thickness, area and surface roughness of the formed film can be controlled, which can reduce cost waste and is conducive to the lightweight and thin design of the flexible circuit board.

[0021] The following will describe each step of the manufacturing method of the present embodiment in detail.

[0022] Preferably, in S1 of the present embodiment, providing the elastic matrix solution comprises:

[0023] S11: providing an elastic matrix material; S12: dissolving the elastic matrix material in a solvent to obtain the elastic matrix solution. S12: dissolving the elastic matrix material in a first organic solvent so that the elastic matrix material is completely dissolved to form the elastic matrix solution.

[0024] The elastic matrix material has high elasticity and is mostly soluble in an organic solvent. By completely dissolving the elastic matrix material in the first organic solvent, subsequent mixing with a metal conductive solution is facilitated, and then a coating process is facilitated to form a high-flexibility electromagnetic shielding film, which is suitable for roll-to-roll mass production. Moreover, the elastic matrix solution formed after complete dissolution exhibits strong adhesion to various substrates (such as PET, PI, and silica gel) in the FPC product, facilitating direct coating to form a firm film and effectively improving product quality.

[0025] Preferably, in S11, the elastic matrix material includes any one or several of polystyrene-isoprene-polystyrene block copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer, polyurethane, thermoplastic polyurethane, and acrylate.

[0026] The polystyrene (PS) hard segment and polyisoprene (PI) soft segment of the polystyrene-isoprene-polystyrene block copolymer (SIS) form spherical, columnar, or lamellar phase separation, giving the material excellent flexibility and tear resistance, with a tensile strength of 17.25-20.7 MPa, an elongation at break of over 1000%, and remaining flexible at -40℃ low temperature environment, suitable for the requirements of repeated stretching of FPC products.

[0027] The styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) has excellent elastic resistance and deformation resistance, with stable molecular structure, remaining elastic at -30℃ to +50℃ temperature environment, and is also suitable for the high flexibility requirements of FPC products.

[0028] The styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) has stable performance at -60℃ to +120℃ temperature environment, also has excellent elastic resistance and deformation resistance, and is suitable for the high flexibility requirements of FPC products.

[0029] The hardness of polyurethane (PU) can be adjusted from Shore A20 (soft rubber roller) to Shore D70 (hard steel roller), and the elastic performance can be adjusted in a large range. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) also has excellent tensile strength and tear strength, and can adapt to different processing environments. Acrylate can continuously work at 150℃ for 1000h, with a permanent deformation of about 30%, and can resist permanent deformation.

[0030] The above-mentioned elastic matrix materials all have high elasticity, and after film formation, the thin film can be bent, folded or even stretched (the strain can reach 100-300%), effectively improving the flexibility of the thin film, and is extremely suitable for dynamic bending environment of flexible electronics, wearable devices and the like.

[0031] Specifically, in S12, each type of elastic matrix material can select a corresponding suitable type of first organic solvent according to actual conditions.

[0032] For the elastic matrix materials such as polystyrene-isoprene-polystyrene block copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer and acrylate, the form is mostly solid particle form or block solid form, which can be dissolved in first organic solvents such as toluene, cyclohexane, ethyl acetate, etc., to form a uniform transparent, viscoelastic elastic matrix solution.

[0033] For the elastic matrix materials such as polyurethane and thermoplastic polyurethane, the form is mostly viscous paste form or block solid form, which can be dissolved in first organic solvents such as DMF, THF, acetone, butanone, etc., to form an elastic matrix solution.

[0034] Preferably, in S1 of the embodiment, providing a metal conductive solution comprises: S13: providing a metal conductive material; S14: dissolving the metal conductive material in a second organic solvent, so that the metal conductive material is completely dissolved to form the metal conductive solution.

[0035] Through complete dissolution of the metal conductive material in the solvent, the formed metal conductive solution can better form a continuous conductive path in the elastic matrix solution, and provide efficient shielding through reflection and absorption of electromagnetic waves, so that through subsequent combination with the elastic matrix solution, on the one hand, it is convenient to adopt a coating process to form a film, and on the other hand, it ensures that the formed thin film not only realizes the electromagnetic shielding function, but also effectively improves the stretchability, thereby improving the dynamic bending life of the electromagnetic shielding film in the application of flexible circuit board.

[0036] Preferably, in S13, the metal conductive material comprises any one or any combination of silver, copper, nickel and aluminum.

[0037] Silver is the best conductive metal, with a surface resistivity of less than 0.010 Ω / cm, and a shielding effectiveness of more than 75 dB in the 10 GHz high frequency range, which can be applied to scenarios with extremely high shielding requirements; the conductivity of copper is only second to silver, with a shielding effectiveness of 75 dB at frequencies above 1 GHz, and the conductivity of copper enables it to effectively reflect high-frequency electromagnetic waves and reduce signal leakage; although the conductivity of nickel is lower than that of silver and copper, its permeability is high, the magnetic vector attenuation amplitude is large, and the electromagnetic interference absorption capacity is strong, with a shielding effectiveness of 60-65 dB in the 5-1800 MHz range, especially in the low frequency range (below 30 MHz); the conductivity of aluminum is better than that of nickel but lower than that of copper and silver, which can effectively block high-frequency electromagnetic waves, and its lightweight characteristics (density is only 1 / 3 of copper) make it have an advantage in scenarios where weight reduction is required, and it can maintain a low cost and weight. Through the above metal conductive materials, the combination of high- flexibility elastic matrix solution + high electromagnetic shielding metal conductive solution in the subsequent process can ensure the stretchability of the electromagnetic shielding film in the FPC product, and at the same time meet the increasingly high requirements of the FPC product for bendability and service life.

[0038] It should be noted that the steps of preparing the elastic matrix solution described in S11-S12 and the steps of preparing the metal conductive solution described in S13-S14 can be performed simultaneously or sequentially, and the order of sequential execution is not limited.

[0039] Specifically, in S14, the second organic solvent for dissolving the metal conductive material can be selected according to actual conditions, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, and toluene, etc.

[0040] Preferably, the S2 of the embodiment includes: The elastic matrix solution is added to the metal conductive solution, and a gradient stirring method is used to mix the metal conductive solution and the elastic matrix solution uniformly to obtain the electromagnetic shielding film solution.

[0041] During the mixing process of the metal conductive solution and the elastic matrix solution, a gradient stirring method including three processes (i.e., a low-speed stirring process, a high-speed shearing process, and a vacuum degassing process) is used to eliminate defects between the interfaces of the two solutions, realize effective dispersion between the two solutions, avoid brittleness caused by rigid fillers (materials in the metal conductive solution), enable the metal conductive solution and the elastic matrix solution to be fully mixed, improve the bonding force between the metal conductive material and the elastic matrix material in the solution, and thus ensure that the formed electromagnetic shielding film solution has excellent electromagnetic shielding and flexibility.

[0042] Specifically, the gradient stirring method comprises a low-speed stirring process with first process parameters, a high-speed shearing process with second process parameters, and a vacuum defoaming process with third process parameters, and the low-speed stirring process, the high-speed shearing process, and the vacuum defoaming process are executed in sequence.

[0043] The low-speed stirring can preliminarily disperse the two material solutions of the metal conductive solution and the elastic matrix solution; the high-speed shearing can break the agglomeration of the conductive material in the metal conductive solution, so that the metal conductive solution is uniformly and stably dispersed into the elastic matrix solution; and the vacuum defoaming can make the gas in the mixed solution escape due to physical expansion, so that a defect-free and uniform electromagnetic shielding film solution is obtained.

[0044] Specifically, the first process parameters comprise stirring speed and stirring time, the second process parameters comprise shearing speed and shearing time, and the third process parameters comprise vacuum pressure and defoaming time.

[0045] In the above three processes, by respectively controlling the above process parameters, the expected effects of the processes can be ensured, thereby effectively guaranteeing the quality of the electromagnetic shielding film solution.

[0046] Preferably, in the embodiment S3, the flexible board substrate is provided with a dynamic bending area in advance; In S3, the electromagnetic shielding film solution is coated on the flexible board substrate, so that the electromagnetic shielding film solution forms a composite electromagnetic shielding film, and a target flexible circuit board is obtained, comprising: S31: uniformly coating the electromagnetic shielding film solution on the dynamic bending area of the flexible board substrate according to preset coating parameters; S32: performing curing treatment on the flexible board substrate coated with the electromagnetic shielding film solution according to preset curing parameters, so that the electromagnetic shielding film solution on the flexible board substrate forms the composite electromagnetic shielding film, and the target flexible circuit board is obtained.

[0047] The coating according to the preset coating parameters can make the electromagnetic shielding film solution uniformly cover the dynamic bending area of the flexible board substrate, and realize point and quantitative coating according to self-definition, so that the coating thickness and area are controllable, which is conducive to reducing cost and waste; and the curing treatment according to the preset curing parameters can ensure that the electromagnetic shielding film solution on the dynamic bending area is efficiently formed into a film, thereby improving the quality of the composite electromagnetic shielding film.

[0048] Specifically, the flexible board substrate of the embodiment refers to an FPC semi-finished product to be made into an electromagnetic shielding film, which has completed the conventional processes such as line forming, reinforcing, chemical nickel gold plating, etc. in the FPC manufacturing process, and specific details are not described here.

[0049] Specifically, the preset coating parameter includes a wet film thickness, and the preset curing parameter includes a curing temperature and a curing time.

[0050] By the preset coating parameter and the preset curing parameter, the composite electromagnetic shielding film required to be formed on the flexible substrate can be efficiently ensured, and the FPC product capable of simultaneously satisfying the requirements of high bendability and service life can be formed.

[0051] Specifically, the coating in the embodiment includes, but is not limited to, blade coating and spin coating.

[0052] The cross-sectional structure of the target flexible circuit board formed by the embodiment is shown in Figure 2 , wherein Figure 2 1 is a flexible substrate, 2 is a composite electromagnetic shielding film, 21 is an elastic matrix material in the composite electromagnetic shielding film, and 22 is a metal conductive material in the composite electromagnetic shielding film.
