Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] In this specification, when an upper limit value and a lower limit value are separately described, a numerical range obtained by combining any upper limit value and any lower limit value is regarded as being substantially disclosed.

[0014] In this specification, when a certain compound is described, its isomers are also regarded as being described simultaneously.

[0015] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, various measurements are carried out with the environmental temperature being room temperature (25°C).

[0016] Hereinafter, specific embodiments will be shown and the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0017] <Surface Treatment Agent for Copper Material> The surface treatment agent for copper material in this embodiment (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a surface treatment agent) contains copper (II) ions, sulfate ions, and an organic acid.

[0018] <Copper (II) Ions> The surface treatment agent in this embodiment contains copper (II) ions. The concentration of copper (II) ions in the surface treatment agent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05 g / L or more and 25.0 g / L or less, more preferably 0.1 g / L or more and 20.0 g / L or less, and still more preferably 1.0 g / L or more and 15.0 g / L or less. A surface treatment agent having the concentration within this range can form a film excellent in adhesion between the copper material and the resin material. The concentration of copper (II) ions contained in the surface treatment agent can be measured by redox titration [the method specified in JIS K 8983:2016 (iodine titration)].

[0019] The compound serving as the copper(II) ion source is not particularly limited. As the compound serving as the copper(II) ion source, a compound that is soluble in water as the solvent and does not inhibit film formation is preferable. Examples of the compound serving as the copper(II) ion source include inorganic copper salts or organic copper salts such as copper(II) sulfate, copper(II) nitrate, copper(II) formate, copper(II) acetate, copper(II) propionate, copper(II) butyrate, copper(II) lactate, copper(II) malonate, copper(II) glutarate, etc., or hydrates thereof. In this embodiment, two or more selected from these may be used in combination. Among them, copper(II) sulfate is preferable, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is more preferable. Copper(II) sulfate can also serve as the sulfate ion source described later.

[0020] <Sulfate ion> The compound serving as the sulfate ion source is not particularly limited. As the compound serving as the sulfate ion source, a compound that is soluble in water as the solvent and does not inhibit film formation is preferable. Examples of the compound serving as the sulfate ion source include sulfates such as copper sulfate (preferably copper(II) sulfate), sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate, nickel sulfate, ammonium sulfate, etc. In this embodiment, two or more selected from these may be used in combination. Using copper(II) sulfate as the compound serving as the sulfate ion source is preferable because it can also serve as the copper(II) ion source and it is possible to increase the proportion of the active ingredient in the solid content in the surface treatment liquid according to this embodiment. Here, when using copper(II) sulfate as the sulfate ion source, further, by blending a copper(II) ion source or a sulfate ion source different from copper(II) sulfate, the concentration of sulfate ions and the concentration of copper(II) ions in the treatment liquid may be adjusted individually. Specifically, when using copper(II) sulfate as the compound serving as the sulfate ion source and it is desired to increase the sulfate ion concentration in the treatment liquid, it is preferable to further use sodium sulfate as the compound serving as the sulfate ion source.

[0021] The sulfate ion concentration contained in the surface treatment agent of the present embodiment is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1.0 g / L or more, 2.0 g / L or more, 3.0 g / L or more, 5.0 g / L or more, 8.0 g / L, or 10.0 g / L or more, and it is preferably 55.0 g / L or less, 45.0 g / L or less, 35.0 g / L or less, or 25.0 g / L or less. More specifically, the sulfate ion concentration is preferably 1.0 g / L or more and 55.0 g / L or less, and particularly preferably 3.0 g / L or more and 25.0 g / L or less. By setting the sulfate ion concentration within such a range, it is easy to form a film that has excellent insulation properties after high-temperature heat exposure while enhancing the initial insulation properties (insulation properties before high-temperature heat exposure).

[0022] When the molar concentrations of copper (II) ions and sulfate ions contained in the surface treatment agent are A and B, respectively, it is preferably 1.0 < B / A < 20, and more preferably 1.0 < B / A ≤ 10. In other words, B / A is preferably 1.1 or more, 1.2 or more, or 1.4 or more, and preferably less than 20, 15 or less, or 10 or less. By setting B / A within such a range, the actions of copper (II) ions and sulfate ions are balanced, and it is easy to form a film that has excellent insulation properties after high-temperature heat exposure while enhancing the initial insulation properties (insulation properties before high-temperature heat exposure).

[0023] <Organic acid> The organic acid preferably has one or two carboxyl groups. The organic acid may be either one having a hydroxyl group or one not having a hydroxyl group.

[0024] An organic acid that is soluble in water can be used. In the present embodiment, "soluble in water" or "water-soluble" means dissolving 1 g or more in 1 L of water at 25°C.

[0025] More specifically, examples of the organic acid include formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, hydroxybutyric acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, and adipic acid. In this embodiment, two or more selected from these may be used in combination. It is more preferable that the organic acid is at least one selected from glycolic acid, lactic acid, and malonic acid.

[0026] In addition, the organic acid in this embodiment may be in the form of an organic acid salt. Further, in this embodiment, when the surface treatment agent contains an organic acid, it is intended to include a form in which the surface treatment agent contains an organic acid salt, an organic acid ion derived from an organic acid or an organic acid salt, etc. In this case, it is preferable that the organic acid salt is one or more selected from the alkali metal salts of the aforementioned organic acids (for example, lithium salt, sodium salt, potassium salt, etc.). Further, the organic acid salt of copper (II) (for example, copper (II) malonate, etc.) is treated as an organic acid and also serves as a copper (II) ion source.

[0027] When the molar concentrations of copper (II) ions and the organic acid contained in the surface treatment agent are A and C, respectively, it is preferable that 1.0 ≦ C / A ≦ 10, and more preferably 1.5 ≦ C / A ≦ 4.0. By setting C / A within such a range, the stability of the treatment liquid can be enhanced (precipitation can be suppressed), and since the etching action by the organic acid can be made appropriate, it is easy to stably form a film. The concentration or molar concentration of the organic acid in the surface treatment agent refers to the concentration or molar concentration in terms of the total organic acid of the organic acid, organic acid salt, and organic acid ion in the surface treatment agent.

[0028] The concentration of the organic acid contained in the surface treatment agent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 to 20.0 g / L, more preferably 1.0 to 10.0 g / L, and even more preferably 3.0 to 7.5 g / L.

The shape, structure, etc. of the copper material are not particularly limited. Examples of the shape of the copper material include plate-like, foil-like, rod-like, etc.

[0041] <Surface Treatment Method> The surface treatment method using the copper material in this embodiment (a method of forming a film by bringing the surface treatment agent in this embodiment into contact with the surface of the copper material) is not particularly limited.

[0047] <Film> A film containing copper(I) oxide and / or copper(II) oxide (referred to as a copper oxide film or a copper oxide-containing film) is formed by the surface treatment method of this embodiment. In other words, a copper material with a copper oxide film (a copper material with a copper oxide-containing film) is obtained by the surface treatment method of this embodiment. The ratio of copper(I) oxide to copper(II) oxide in the copper oxide film is not particularly limited. Also, when the surface treatment liquid contains a polymer (particularly, a water-soluble polymer, a water-soluble polymer having an amino group, or a water-soluble polymer having a structural unit represented by the above formula (i)), a film containing the polymer (resin film) is also formed simultaneously with this copper oxide film.

Example

[0052] The present invention will be described in detail by the following examples. However, these inventions are not limited to these examples.

[0053] <Fabrication of test plates> Test plates were fabricated as follows.

[0054] First, a copper material (150 mm (length) × 70 mm (width) × 0.8 mm (thickness)) was degreased (Fine Cleaner E6400, manufactured by Nippon Parkerizing Co., Ltd., trade name, 60 °C × 5 minutes dip treatment), and then washed with water to make it clean.

[0055] Next, a surface treatment agent in which the components described in each example and comparative example in Table 1 were dissolved in water to the corresponding concentrations was prepared, and the cleaned copper material was immersed in the surface treatment agent to perform surface treatment. In Table 1, "-" indicates that the corresponding component is not contained. In addition, the pH of each surface treatment agent is shown in Table 1. The pH of the surface treatment agent was adjusted with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and sulfuric acid. The immersion time of the copper material in the surface treatment agent was uniformly 2 minutes in any example, and the temperature was 40 °C.

[0056] Next, using the coating methods shown in Table 1, the surface-treated copper material was coated so that the dry film thickness became 20 μm to obtain test plates for each example and comparative example.

[0057] The specific conditions for each painting method (electrocoating, powder coating, solvent coating) shown in Table 1 are as follows.

[0058] <Electrocoating> The test panels were immersed in Electron KG400 (manufactured by Kansai Paint Co., Ltd.), and the voltage was increased to reach 200 V in 30 seconds. After reaching 200 V, it was applied to hold for 150 seconds to deposit an uncured electrocoating film on the test panels. Subsequently, these test panels were heated at 180 °C for 26 minutes to form an electrocoating film.

[0059] <Powder coating> Using Innobax P series (manufactured by Shin-Toyo Paint Co., Ltd.), coating was performed using an electrostatic powder coating apparatus manufactured by Parker Engineering Co., Ltd. to apply an uncured powder coating film on the test panels. Subsequently, these test panels were heated at 180 °C for 20 minutes to form a powder coating film.

[0060] <Solvent coating> Highmerit Primer No300 (manufactured by Natco Co., Ltd.) was used. The above paint and thinner M No15 were mixed at a ratio of 100:30 to dilute the paint. An air spray was performed on the test panels to apply a solvent coating film. Subsequently, these test panels were heated at 140 °C for 20 minutes to form a solvent coating film.

[0061] <Evaluation> Regarding the test panels (surface-treated copper materials with coating films) obtained by the above method, various evaluations were performed as follows. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] <Coating adhesion after high-temperature exposure> Each test panel was left standing in an oven set at 220 °C for 625 hours. After 625 hours, the adhesion (cross-cut adhesion) of the coating film defined in JIS K 5600 was evaluated. Using a cutter knife or the like, 100 cuts penetrating to the substrate were made in a grid pattern, and cellophane tape was attached to those locations. It was judged by the presence or absence of coating film peeling caused by peeling off the cellophane tape, and those without coating film peeling were regarded as qualified.

[0063] <Measurement of Dielectric Breakdown Voltage> The dielectric breakdown voltage (dielectric breakdown voltage per unit film thickness) of each test board was measured using a withstand voltage tester (TOS9201, manufactured by Kikusui Electronics Industry Co., Ltd.). The measurement was carried out under the conditions of an initial voltage of 0 V, a voltage increase rate of 50 V / second, and a cut-off current of 1.0 mA.

[0064] <Insulation Property after High-Temperature Exposure> Each test board was left standing in an oven set at 220°C for 625 hours. The dielectric breakdown voltage per unit film thickness of the test board before (initial) and 625 hours after being left standing in the oven was measured, the ratio of the value after the passage of the standing time to the initial value of each test board was calculated, and this was defined as the dielectric breakdown voltage retention rate, and each was compared. A dielectric breakdown voltage retention rate of 85% or more was considered to be qualified.
