Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, a curable resin composition, and a cured product. [Background technology]

[0002] When mounting and soldering electronic components on a printed wiring board, solder resists are widely used as insulating materials to prevent solder from adhering to areas other than the mounted area and to form a coating that semi-permanently prevents oxidation or corrosion of wiring. Techniques for forming such solder resist patterns include photoresist methods, which can accurately form fine patterns, and among these, alkali-developable liquid photoresist methods are the mainstream, due to environmental considerations and other factors.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a photosensitive resin composition containing an active ester curing agent and a carboxyl group-containing radical polymerizable compound as a material used in an alkali development type photoresist method. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-214057 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Recently, a new method for forming solder resist using an inkjet method has been proposed. This method does not require development, as is required with the alkaline development method, and therefore can reduce the number of steps, time, and consumables. However, when the viscosity of the ink used in the inkjet method decreases, the physical properties required for a solder resist film, such as heat resistance and chemical resistance, tend to deteriorate significantly. Furthermore, there is room for improvement in terms of excellent adhesion to wiring or substrates, in order to prevent defects such as cracking and peeling.

These also include compounds that are used as reaction raw materials to obtain a target compound (including intermediate compounds) through a chemical reaction such as synthesis or decomposition, and that partially constitute the chemical structure of the target compound. The term "synthetic raw materials" is used in this specification because it is practically impossible to directly identify a target compound by its structure. On the other hand, the term "reaction raw materials" in this specification refers to compounds that are used to obtain a target compound by a chemical reaction such as synthesis or decomposition and that partially constitute the chemical structure of the target compound, and excludes substances that act as auxiliary agents in chemical reactions, such as solvents and catalysts.

[0033] In this specification, the term "resin" includes not only solid content but also a mixture of solid content and solvent.

[0034] In this specification, it is preferable that the "resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group" does not substantially contain an acid group.

[0035] The following describes in detail an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "present embodiment"); however, the present invention is not limited to the following description and can be implemented in various modifications within the scope of its gist.

[0036] (Resin having polymerizable unsaturated groups) The resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "the resin of this embodiment") is a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, which uses a solvent having an amide bond and represented by the following general formula (1) as an essential synthetic raw material, has a polymerizable unsaturated group, and has a biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) of 15% or more in the entire resin. [ka] (In the above general formula (1), R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R 3 represents a monovalent organic group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms.

[0037] In this embodiment, in the general formula (1), R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, and R 1 and R 2 Preferably, at least one of R is an alkyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, 1 and R 2 and R are more preferably alkyl groups having 1 or 2 carbon atoms. 1 and R 2 It is more preferable that both of R have 1 carbon atom. 3is preferably an alkyl group, alkenyl group, alkoxy group or aryl group having 7 to 9 carbon atoms, and one or two or more non-adjacent -CH2- groups in the alkyl group, alkenyl group or alkoxy group may be substituted with -O-, -C(=O)-, -COO- or -OCO-. And R 1 and R 2 Both of these have one carbon atom, and R 3 is preferably an alkyl group, alkenyl group, alkoxy group or aryl group having 7 to 9 carbon atoms, and one or two or more non-adjacent -CH2- groups in the alkyl group, alkenyl group or alkoxy group may be substituted with -O-, -C(=O)-, -COO- or -OCO-. 3 The monovalent organic group may be linear, branched, or cyclic. The solvent represented by the general formula (1) may be a single compound or a mixed solvent in which a plurality of solvents represented by the general formula (1) are mixed.

[0038] Examples of the acid group contained in the resin of this embodiment include a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, and a phosphoric acid group. Examples of the polymerizable unsaturated group contained in the resin of this embodiment include a (meth)acryloyl group, an allyl group, an isopropenyl group, a 1-propenyl group, a styryl group, a styrylmethyl group, a maleimide group, a vinyl ether group, etc. Among these, from the viewpoint of improving the insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the finally obtained cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, it is preferable to use a carboxyl group as the acid group, and it is preferable to use a (meth)acryloyl group, an allyl group, an isopropenyl group, or a 1-propenyl group as the polymerizable unsaturated group.

[0039] The resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment is characterized by containing a solvent represented by the above formula (1) having an amide bond. In this embodiment, by using the solvent represented by the above formula (1), the heat resistance and adhesion of the cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group obtained as a final product can be improved. Furthermore, since the solvent is derived from biomass raw materials, the environmental impact can be reduced by setting the biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) to 50% or more. Therefore, the resin of this embodiment can be suitably used for insulating materials and resist materials such as solder resists.

[0040] In general, organic solvents are used as reaction raw materials in the manufacturing process of resins containing polymerizable unsaturated groups. When the resin is cured, the organic solvents are almost always released into the atmosphere (volatilized) without being recovered, which causes environmental impact. Furthermore, the release of volatile organic solvents (VOCs) contributes to worsening air pollution and global warming. However, in the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment, the biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) in the resin is 15% or more, and it is believed that such environmental burden can be reduced. From this perspective, the biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) in the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group is preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 30% or more. The upper limit of the biomass carbon content in the entire resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group is not particularly limited, but may be 90% or less or 80% or less.

[0041] When a compound having an epoxy group (including an epoxy resin (A) and a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group) is used as a component of the resin or curable resin composition of this embodiment, the epoxy group is generally introduced into the compound having an epoxy group industrially using a chlorine atom-containing compound such as epichlorohydrin. However, in this case, the amount of remaining chlorine atoms cannot be ignored, and there is a concern that at least one of insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion may be reduced. Furthermore, if the resin contains chlorine, environmental hormones such as dioxins will be released when the resin is incinerated, which also causes an environmental load. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is also important to pay attention to the chlorine atom content of each material used.

[0042] The biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) of the entire resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment is 15% or more, preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 30% or more. The upper limit of the biomass carbon content of the entire resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group is not particularly limited, but may be 90% or less or 80% or less.

[0043] The chlorine atom content can be measured by combusting and decomposing a sample to be measured (e.g., epoxy resin (A), (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group, resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, curable resin composition, etc.) at high temperature using a combustion tube combustion method, absorbing the decomposition gas into an absorption liquid, and quantifying the content by ion chromatography. More specifically, the chlorine atom content can be measured by the procedure described in the Examples.

[0044] In this embodiment, the means for reducing the chlorine atom content in the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group include: (1) using at least one of the synthesis raw materials, catalysts, solvents, and additives used to obtain the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, and the further reaction materials, catalysts, solvents, and additives used to obtain the reaction materials, which do not contain chlorine atoms or contain a sufficiently small amount of chlorine atoms; (2) performing purification to remove chlorine atoms from at least one of the reaction materials, catalysts, solvents, and additives used to obtain the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, and the further reaction materials, catalysts, solvents, and additives used to obtain the reaction materials; etc. In addition, the above-mentioned purification can be, for example, purification under known conditions using preparative HPLC.

[0045] Although the specific chlorine atom content is not particularly limited, in order to make the chlorine atom content in the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group 700 ppm by mass or less, it is useful to use epoxy resin (A) and (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group that do not contain chlorine atoms or that contain a sufficiently small amount of chlorine atoms. More specifically, the chlorine atom content of the epoxy resin (A) and (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group used in this embodiment is preferably 10 ppm by mass or less, particularly below the detection limit, as described below, in order to obtain the desired resin.

[0046] From the viewpoint of reducing the environmental impact, the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment preferably has a biomass carbon content of 2% or more, 4% or more, 10% or more, 13% or more, 15% or more, 17% or more, 20% or more, 22% or more, 25% or more, or 35% or more in the solid content. Meanwhile, the biomass carbon content can be 100% or less, 90% or less, 80% or less, 73% or less, or 68% or less. Furthermore, a high biomass carbon content in the solid content can also contribute to improved heat resistance.

[0047] <Biomass carbon content (%)> In this specification, "biomass carbon content (%)" refers to the amount of radiocarbon ( 14This is a corrected value obtained by multiplying the content ratio (pMC%) of C) by 0.93, which is a correction ratio, and when the corrected value is 100% or more, it is considered to be 100%. In this specification, radiocarbon ( 14 The content ratio (pMC%) of radioactive carbon (C) in the biomass-derived components indicates the carbon concentration (mass ratio) of the biomass-derived components, and is related to the so-called biomass blending ratio. More specifically, the radioactive carbon (C) content ratio (pMC%) in accordance with ASTM-D6866 (especially ASTM D6866 Method B) is 14 C) Radiocarbon ( 14 C) content ratio. 14 C) has a half-life of 5730 years, and nitrogen ( 14 It is known that radioactive carbon ( 14 C) is carbon dioxide 14 After being oxidized to CO2 and dispersed into the atmosphere, it is taken up by animals and plants in the food chain, and disappears according to its half-life as it circulates through the environment via the food chain. 14 C) The measurement method is that fossil fuels are radiocarbon ( 14 C), and biomass (or biological carbon) is essentially free of radioactive carbon ( 14 C) in the carbon contained in biomass materials (or living organisms), 14 C) ratio to radiocarbon ( 14 This is a method to estimate the radiocarbon content (pMC%). 14 The higher the content ratio (pMC%) of radioactive carbon (C), the less fossil fuels are used, which can have an effect on reducing the environmental load. 14 The value of the carbon content ratio (pMC%) of carbon dioxide (C) is related to the index (=biomass carbon content (%)) that indicates the blend ratio of biomass, which is a renewable, biologically derived organic resource.

[0048] The radiocarbon ( 14By measuring the ratio of radioactive carbon (C), the ratio of carbon derived from biomass can be calculated. Specifically, the ratio of radioactive carbon (C) in the sample to be measured can be calculated using the following formula (A). 14 The content ratio (pMC%) of C) can be calculated. Formula (A): Radiocarbon ( 14 C) content ratio (pMC%) = [{radioactive carbon in the sample ( 14 C) ÷ carbon in the sample to be measured ( 12 C)} / {Radiocarbon of standard material ( 14 C) / carbon of standard material ( 12 C)}×100 (In the above formula, the standard material is oxalic acid (SRM4990C), supplied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a standard material for dating, converted into graphite using the same pretreatment method (described below) as for the graphite used for measurements.)

[0049] Next, the radiocarbon ( 14 The biomass carbon content (%) can be calculated by multiplying the biomass carbon content (pMC%) by 0.93, taking into account the effects of atmospheric nuclear testing from 1950 to the present day. Formula (B): Biomass carbon content (%) = radiocarbon ( 14 C) content ratio (pMC%) x 0.93

[0050] As a supplement, radioactive carbon ( 14 C), which produces about 1.5 times the amount of radiocarbon ( 14 However, this has gradually decreased over time, and the current value is around 107.5 (pMC%). Therefore, in this embodiment, radiocarbon ( 14The biomass carbon content (%) is defined as the value obtained by multiplying the content ratio (pMC%) of carbon (C) (pMC%) by 0.93 (=100 / 107.5). However, even when the method using the above formula (B) is adopted, there are cases where a value of 100% or more is calculated. Therefore, in this embodiment, as in the ASTM standard, when the value calculated using the above formula (B) is 100% or more, the biomass carbon content (%) is considered to be 100%.

[0051] Radiocarbon ( 14 The concentration of C is measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), which combines a tandem accelerator and a mass spectrometer, to measure the carbon isotopes (specifically, 12 C, 13 C, 14 C is an example.) can be physically separated using an accelerator by utilizing the difference in atomic weight, and the abundance of each atom of the isotope can be measured. The sample to be measured requires pretreatment. Specifically, as described in the Examples section below, the carbon contained in the sample to be measured is oxidized and converted into carbon dioxide. The resulting carbon dioxide is then separated from water and nitrogen, reduced, and converted into measurement graphite, which is solid carbon. Then, Cs is added to this measurement graphite. + The carbon ions are accelerated using a 3MV tandem accelerator, and the negative ions are converted to positive ions. 12 C 3+ , 13 C 3+ , 14 C 3+ Separating the traveling orbit of 14 C 3+ is measured using an electrostatic analyzer. The carbon isotopes contained in the measurement graphite obtained in the pretreatment 12 C. 13 C and 14 C is accelerated at the same speed, and its flight path is bent by the magnetic field of the mass analysis electromagnet. 12 C. 13C is on the inside, the heaviest 14 C flies on the outermost side of the bend. 12 C. 13 Since the amount of C is large, it is detected as a current by a Faraday cup detector. 14 C is counted one by one by an ionization chamber type ion detector.

[0052] In this embodiment, examples of the measurement sample (the object for measuring the biomass carbon content) include resins having polymerizable unsaturated groups, as well as various reactive raw materials such as epoxy resins (A), unsaturated monobasic acids (B), amide-imide resins (C), hydroxy(meth)acrylate compounds (D), and (meth)acrylate compounds having epoxy groups (E), curable resin compositions, etc.

[0053] The acid value of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group in this embodiment is preferably 2 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 1 mgKOH / g or less, from the viewpoint of improving the insulating reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the cured resin. Furthermore, in this specification, "substantially free of acid groups" refers to an acid value of 2 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 1 mgKOH / g or less, or may be completely free of acid groups. The acid value is a value measured by the acid value measurement method described in the Examples section below.

[0054] In addition, the double bond equivalent (g / eq) of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment is preferably 500 (g / eq) or less, more preferably 400 (g / eq) or less, and even more preferably 300 (g / eq) or less, from the viewpoint of improving the insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the cured resin. From the same viewpoint, the double bond equivalent of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment is preferably 150 (g / eq) or more, more preferably 200 (g / eq) or more. In this specification, the "double bond equivalent" is an index of the amount of double bonds contained in a molecule. For compounds of the same molecular weight, the smaller the double bond equivalent value, the greater the amount of double bonds introduced. In this specification, the "double bond equivalent" may be essentially the equivalent of a (meth)acryloyl group (CH═CR-C(═O)-O (R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group)). The "double bond equivalent" is a calculated value calculated from the amounts of raw materials charged, as described in the Examples section. Here, a first embodiment and a second embodiment will be described below as examples of the resin of this embodiment.

[0055] First Embodiment First, the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group according to the first embodiment (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "first embodiment") contains an epoxy resin (A) and an unsaturated monobasic acid (B) as residues. In this specification, the term "residue" refers to a partial structure of each raw material compound that remains in the molecule of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the present embodiment produced by reaction or polymerization, and is composed of a chemical bond formed by the reaction or polymerization and a group derived from each raw material compound that is other than the chemical bond.

[0056] <Epoxy resin (A)> The epoxy resin (A) is one of the essential reaction raw materials for obtaining the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the first embodiment.

[0057] The total amount of chlorine contained as an impurity in the epoxy resin (A) is preferably 2400 ppm or less, more preferably 2200 ppm or less, even more preferably 2000 ppm or less, and even more preferably 1800 ppm or less. Using an epoxy resin (A) with such a reduced total chlorine content as a reaction raw material can contribute to reducing the chlorine atom content in the resin having polymerizable unsaturated groups of the first embodiment, thereby improving the insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the cured product of the resin. Examples of chlorine content in an epoxy resin include inorganic chlorine and hydrolyzable chlorine, and the total amount of these chlorine content is referred to as the total chlorine content. The total chlorine content in the epoxy resin (A) can be calculated according to JIS K7246. Methods for removing or reducing chlorine content from the epoxy resin (A) include adding the epoxy resin (A) to purified water and dissolving the chlorine content in the aqueous solution as chlorine ions for removal.

[0058] The amount of α-glycol in the epoxy resin (A) is preferably 0.20 meq / g or less. This allows the final cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group to have better insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion. From the same viewpoint, the amount of α-glycol in the epoxy resin (A) is more preferably 0.15 meq / g or less. Furthermore, the amount of α-glycol in the epoxy resin (A) is preferably 0.01 meq / g or more. This allows the final cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group to be prevented from decreasing in heat resistance. From the same viewpoint, the amount of α-glycol in the epoxy resin (A) is more preferably 0.02 meq / g or more. The amount of α-glycol in epoxy resin (A) can be calculated in accordance with JIS K7146. Specifically, the amount can be measured in accordance with the method described in the analytical report "Quantitative Determination of α-glycol Content in Epoxy Resins by Potentiometric Titration and Its Reliability" by Saito et al., BUNSEKI KAGAKU, Vol. 57, No. 6, pp. 499-503 (2008), which has been improved to a method using a commercially available autotitrator based on the rules of JIS K7146. Utilizing the fact that α-glycol quantitatively reacts with periodic acid, is cleaved, and oxidized to a carbonyl compound, the amount of α-glycol can be calculated by adding potassium iodide to excess periodic acid and titrating the generated iodine with a sodium thiosulfate solution. Furthermore, examples of a method for removing or reducing the α-glycol content from the epoxy resin (A) include a method in which the reaction is carried out while reducing and controlling the amount of water in the reaction system when synthesizing the epoxy resin (A), thereby adjusting the amount of α-glycol by preventing hydrolysis of the generated epoxy groups.

More specifically, the biomass carbon content of the epoxy resin (A) used in the first embodiment is preferably 6% or more, and more preferably 10% or more. This can contribute to reducing the environmental load. The biomass carbon content of the epoxy resin (A) used in the first embodiment is not particularly limited, but can be 90% or less, or 80% or less.

[0063] The epoxy resin (A) can be synthesized from a phenolic resin by reacting the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the phenolic resin with epihalohydrin to form a reaction product having a glycidyl ether group. That is, the epoxy resin (A) can be an epoxy resin into which a glycidyl ether group has been introduced by reacting the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the phenolic resin with epihalohydrin (epoxidation reaction). In this case, the epoxidation reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature of 40°C to 150°C.

[0067] [Epihalohydrin] Examples of the epihalohydrin include epichlorohydrin, epibromohydrin, and β-methylepichlorohydrin. One type of epihalohydrin may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination. Among these, epichlorohydrin is preferably used as the epihalohydrin because it is easily available industrially.

[0068] The ratio of epihalohydrin used is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 moles per mole of phenolic hydroxyl groups in the phenolic resin. This allows the final cured product of the resin having polymerizable unsaturated groups to have better insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion. From the same viewpoint, the amount of epihalohydrin per mole of phenolic hydroxyl groups in the phenolic resin is more preferably 1.5 moles or more, even more preferably 2 moles or more, and more preferably 8 moles or less, even more preferably 6 moles or less. When epichlorohydrin is used as the epihalohydrin, it is preferable to keep the amount used to a minimum in order to reduce the chlorine atom content in the final resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group.

[0071] The phenolic resin may be synthesized from a raw material derived from biomass.

[0072] The phenolic resin is obtained by reacting a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound with a ketone group-containing compound. By introducing a skeleton based on the reaction between the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound and the ketone group-containing compound, the intermolecular interaction is appropriately weakened, resulting in a phenolic resin with low melt viscosity and excellent handleability, which is preferable.

Among these, it is preferable to use, as the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, phenol or a derivative in which the hydrogen atoms on the aromatic nucleus are substituted with an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a halogen atom, etc., because the heat resistance of the cured product of the finally obtained resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group is high. Furthermore, it is also preferable to use, as the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, one having a naphthalene skeleton (1-naphthol, 2-naphthol, 1,3-naphthalenediol, 1,5-naphthalenediol, 1,6-naphthalenediol, 2,6-naphthalenediol, 2,7-naphthalenediol, etc., from among the above-listed compounds).

The formyl group-containing compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0078] As the ketone group-containing compound, it is preferable to use a formyl group-containing compound, and among them, as described above, it is preferable to use formaldehyde. The formaldehyde may be used in the form of formalin or paraformaldehyde.

[0079] When a phenolic resin is obtained by reacting a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound with a ketone group-containing compound, the reaction ratio of the ketone group-containing compound, more specifically, formaldehyde, is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 moles per mole of the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound. By using formaldehyde as the ketone group-containing compound and using the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound and formaldehyde in the above ratio, the resulting cured resin having polymerizable unsaturated groups can be made to have better insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion. From the same perspective, the amount of formaldehyde per mole of the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound is preferably 0.6 moles or more, more preferably 0.65 moles or more, and more preferably 1.0 moles or less, even more preferably 0.98 moles or less.

[0080] The reaction between the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound and the ketone group-containing compound proceeds even in the absence of a catalyst due to their high reactivity, but may be carried out using an acidic catalyst as appropriate. Examples of acidic catalysts include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid; organic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and oxalic acid; and Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride, anhydrous aluminum chloride, and zinc chloride. When using these acidic catalysts, it is preferable to use them in an amount of 10% by mass or less based on the total mass of the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound and the ketone group-containing compound.

[0081] The reaction is preferably carried out under solvent-free conditions, but may be carried out in an organic solvent if necessary. The organic solvent may be the same as that used in the above-mentioned epoxidation reaction. When an organic solvent is used, it is preferable to use the organic solvent in a proportion of 50 to 200 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total of the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound and the ketone group-containing compound, since this improves the reaction efficiency.

[0082] After the reaction between the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound and the ketone group-containing compound is completed, the target phenolic resin can be obtained by drying under reduced pressure or the like.

[0083] The phenolic hydroxyl group equivalent of the phenolic resin is preferably in the range of 50 to 150 g / equivalent from the viewpoint of improving the insulating reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the final cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group.

[0116] The polyisocyanate compound (c1) may be a compound having an isocyanurate structure, a biuret structure, or an allophanate structure as part of its structure.

[0117] Here, the isocyanurate structure refers to one or more selected from the group consisting of the following structures (I), (II), and (III) in the following general formula (5): In the structures, * each independently represents a linking moiety to another part of the polyisocyanate compound (c1) or hydrogen.

[0118] [ka]

[0119] The biuret structure refers to -N(CONH-)2, and the allophanate structure refers to -OC(O)NC(O)-NH-.

[0120] In one embodiment of the second embodiment, the polyisocyanate compound (c1) has an isocyanurate structure. In one embodiment, the polyisocyanate compound (c1) has an isocyanurate structure of Structure I or Structure II. In yet another embodiment, the polyisocyanate compound (c1) is an alicyclic diisocyanate having Structure (I), (II), or (III).

[0121] [ka] [ka] [ka]

[0122] The above formulas (6), (7), and (8) each exemplify the case where the compound has three isocyanate groups. However, in another embodiment, the polyisocyanate compound (c1) may have a total of four or five isocyanate groups in the portion derived from isophorone diisocyanate, while the isocyanurate structure of formulas (6), (7), and (8) remains unchanged.

[0123] Commercially available polyisocyanate compounds (c1) include, for example, the VESTANAT series, such as VESTANAT (registered trademark) IPDI, TMDI, and H12MDI from EVONIK; VESTANAT (registered trademark) T 1890 E, T 1890 L, T 1890 M, and T 1890 / 100 from EVONIK; and the Takenate series, such as Takenate (registered trademark) D-127N from Mitsui Chemicals. Some of these commercially available products contain a relatively large amount of chlorine (a chlorine-containing compound is used for production). More specifically, methods for producing polyisocyanate compounds include a method using phosgene (the so-called phosgene method) and a urea method, and in the phosgene method, chlorine is used during the process (phosgene itself contains chlorine in the molecule). Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is important to appropriately select or prepare the polyisocyanate compound (c1) while also considering whether the chlorine atom content in the finally obtained resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group can be sufficiently reduced.

[0124] Among the above, from the viewpoint of improving the insulating reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the finally obtained cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, the polyisocyanate compound (c1) preferably contains an aliphatic diisocyanate compound, an alicyclic diisocyanate compound, or a modified product thereof, more preferably contains an aliphatic diisocyanate compound, an alicyclic diisocyanate compound, or an isocyanurate modified product thereof (a diisocyanate compound having the isocyanurate structure), and even more preferably contains an alicyclic diisocyanate compound or an isocyanurate modified product thereof.

[0125] The polyisocyanate compound (c1) may be synthesized from a raw material derived from biomass. More specifically, the biomass carbon content of the polyisocyanate compound (c1) used in the second embodiment is preferably 6% or more, more preferably 10% or more. This can contribute to reducing the environmental load. The biomass carbon content of the polyisocyanate compound (c1) used in the second embodiment is not particularly limited, but can be 90% or less, or 80% or less.

[0126] [Polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3)] The polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) is a compound having multiple carboxy groups in the molecule or an acid anhydride thereof. The polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0127] In order to obtain the amide-imide resin (C) (to form both an amide group and an imide group in the molecule), both a carboxy group and an acid anhydride group must be present in the system. In the second embodiment, however, a compound having both a carboxy group and an acid anhydride group in the molecule may be used as the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or the polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3), or a compound having a carboxy group and a compound having an acid anhydride group may be used in combination.

[0128] Examples of the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) include aliphatic polycarboxylic acid compounds, aliphatic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides, alicyclic polycarboxylic acid compounds, alicyclic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides, aromatic polycarboxylic acid compounds, and aromatic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides.

[0129] In the aliphatic polycarboxylic acid compound or aliphatic polycarboxylic acid anhydride, the aliphatic hydrocarbon group may be either linear or branched, and may have an unsaturated bond in the structure. Examples of the aliphatic polycarboxylic acid compound or aliphatic polycarboxylic acid anhydride include oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, citraconic acid, itaconic acid, glutaconic acid, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid, and acid anhydrides thereof.

[0130] In this specification, the alicyclic polycarboxylic acid compound or alicyclic polycarboxylic acid anhydride is defined as one in which a carboxy group or an acid anhydride group is bonded to an alicyclic structure, and the presence or absence of an aromatic ring in other structural portions is not important. Examples of the alicyclic polycarboxylic acid compound or alicyclic polycarboxylic acid anhydride include tetrahydrophthalic acid, hexahydrophthalic acid, methylhexahydrophthalic acid, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, cyclohexanetetracarboxylic acid, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, methylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, 4-(2,5-dioxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, and acid anhydrides thereof.

[0131] Examples of the aromatic polycarboxylic acid compound or aromatic polycarboxylic acid anhydride include phthalic acid, trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid, naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, naphthalene tricarboxylic acid, naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid, biphenyl dicarboxylic acid, biphenyl tricarboxylic acid, biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid, benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid, and acid anhydrides thereof.

[0132] Among the above, from the viewpoint of further improving heat resistance, the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) is preferably the alicyclic polycarboxylic acid compound or its acid anhydride, or the aromatic polycarboxylic acid compound or its acid anhydride. Furthermore, the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) preferably contains a tricarboxylic acid or a tricarboxylic anhydride. In particular, from the viewpoint of improving the insulating reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion of the final cured product of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, and from the viewpoint of efficiently producing the amide-imide resin (C), it is preferable that the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) contains a tricarboxylic acid anhydride (i.e., a compound having both a carboxy group and an acid anhydride group in the molecule), and more preferably contains cyclohexanetricarboxylic anhydride or trimellitic anhydride (also called trimellitic anhydride).

[0133] The polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) may be synthesized from a biomass-derived raw material. More specifically, the biomass carbon content of the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) used in the second embodiment is preferably 6% or more, more preferably 10% or more. In this case, it is possible to contribute to reducing the environmental load. Furthermore, the biomass carbon content of the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) used in the second embodiment is not particularly limited, but may be 90% or less, or 80% or less.

[0134] As a reaction raw material for obtaining the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group, compounds other than the above-mentioned polyisocyanate compound (c1), polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) may be used, if necessary.

[0135] The method for obtaining the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group is not particularly limited as long as a polyisocyanate compound (c1) and a polycarboxylic acid (c2) or a polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) are used as reaction raw materials. For example, a method may be used in which 0.8 to 2.0 moles of the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or the polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) are used per mole of the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate compound (c1), and the mixture is stirred and mixed at a temperature of about 120 to 180°C to react them. In the reaction of the polyisocyanate compound (c1) with the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or the polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3), it is preferable to appropriately adjust conditions such as the compounding ratio (reaction ratio) so that the resulting amide-imide resin (C) has an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group (particularly an acid anhydride group).

[0136] The reaction of the polyisocyanate compound (c1) with the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or polycarboxylic anhydride (c3) is preferably carried out in a solvent represented by the above general formula (1), and an organic solvent other than the solvent represented by the above general formula (1) may be further used as needed. A basic catalyst may also be used as needed. The organic solvent and basic catalyst may be the same as those used in the reaction of the epoxy resin (A) with the unsaturated monobasic acid (B).

[0137] <Hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D)> The hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) is one of the essential reaction raw materials for obtaining the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the second embodiment. The hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) is a compound having a hydroxyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group in the molecule.

[0138] Examples of the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) include hydroxy(meth)acrylate compounds such as hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol mono(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, and dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate; (poly)oxyalkylene-modified compounds in which a (poly)oxyalkylene chain such as a (poly)oxyethylene chain, a (poly)oxypropylene chain, or a (poly)oxytetramethylene chain has been introduced into the molecular structure of the above-mentioned various hydroxy(meth)acrylate compounds; and lactone-modified compounds in which a (poly)lactone structure has been introduced into the molecular structure of the above-mentioned various hydroxy(meth)acrylate compounds. These hydroxy(meth)acrylate compounds (D) may be used singly or in combination of two or more.

[0139] Incidentally, examples of commercially available hydroxy(meth)acrylate compounds (D) include the "Aronix" series (pentaerythritol polyacrylate mixtures) from Toagosei Co., Ltd. However, some of these commercially available products contain relatively large amounts of chlorine (chlorine-containing compounds are used for production). Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is important to appropriately select or prepare the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) in consideration of whether the chlorine atom content in the final resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group can be sufficiently reduced.

[0140] The hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) may be synthesized from a raw material derived from biomass. More specifically, the biomass carbon content of the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) used in the second embodiment is preferably 6% or more, and more preferably 10% or more. This can contribute to reducing the environmental load. Furthermore, the biomass carbon content of the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) used in the second embodiment is not particularly limited, but can be 90% or less, or 80% or less.

[0141] <(Meth)acrylate Compound (E) Having Epoxy Group> The (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "compound (E)") is one of the optional reaction raw materials for obtaining the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the second embodiment.

[0142] The (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is not particularly limited as long as it has an epoxy group and a (meth)acryloyl group in its molecular structure. Specific examples of the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group include (meth)acrylate monomers having a glycidyl group, such as glycidyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate glycidyl ether, and epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate; and mono(meth)acrylates of diglycidyl ether compounds, such as dihydroxybenzene diglycidyl ether, dihydroxynaphthalene diglycidyl ether, biphenol diglycidyl ether, and bisphenol diglycidyl ether. These (meth)acrylate compounds (E) having an epoxy group may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate glycidyl ether, and epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate are preferred as the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group.

[0143] The chlorine atom content of the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is preferably 500 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 100 ppm by mass or less, and even more preferably 10 ppm by mass or less, particularly preferably below the detection limit, which makes it easier to reduce the chlorine atom content in the final resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group to 100 ppm by mass or less.

[0144] Here, a common method for synthesizing a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is to react a (meth)acrylate compound with epichlorohydrin to synthesize the compound by glycidylating it. However, because this method uses epichlorohydrin, a compound having chlorine atoms in its molecule, it is believed that the resulting compound (E) will contain chlorine atoms in an amount of from more than 700 ppm by mass to several percent. Furthermore, it is believed that a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group obtained using the compound (E) as a reaction raw material will also contain chlorine atoms in an amount of from more than 700 ppm by mass to several percent. Therefore, when the compound (E) is synthesized using epichlorohydrin, it is preferable to purify the compound (E) before the subsequent synthesis of a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group to reduce the chlorine atom content of the compound (E) to 700 ppm by mass or less.

[0145] Alternatively, the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group can also be obtained by a transesterification reaction between an epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) and a (meth)acrylate compound such as (meth)acrylic acid. If the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound does not have a chlorine atom in the molecule, it is preferable to obtain the compound (E) by the above transesterification reaction, from the viewpoint of reducing the chlorine atom content of the obtained epoxy group-containing (meth)acrylate compound (E) and, ultimately, the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group (note that glycidol does not have a chlorine atom in the molecule). That is, the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is preferably a compound obtained by reacting an epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) with a (meth)acrylate compound such as (meth)acrylic acid as reaction raw materials. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of further reducing the chlorine atom content of the finally obtained resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is more preferably a compound obtained by reacting an epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) produced using a biomass material with a (meth)acrylate compound as reaction raw materials.

[0146] The (meth)acrylate compound is not particularly limited as long as it has a (meth)acryloyl group, and examples thereof include methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, and the (meth)acrylate compounds described in the section below under <Compounds having a polymerizable unsaturated group>.

[0147] Examples of the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound include hydroxyalkene oxides (epoxyalkanols), such as hydroxyalkene oxides having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, such as 2,3-epoxypropanol (glycidol) and 2,3-epoxybutanol; and hydroxycycloalkene oxides having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, such as 2,3-epoxycyclobutanol and 2,3-epoxycyclopentanol.

[0148] The epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) may be synthesized from a biomass-derived raw material. More specifically, the biomass carbon content of the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) is preferably 20% or more, more preferably 22% or more, 34% or more, 46% or more, or 80% or more. This can contribute to reducing the environmental load. Furthermore, the biomass carbon content of the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) is not particularly limited, but can be 100% or less, 95% or less, or 83% or less.

[0149] It is known that the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) can be derived from glycerin, a plant-derived chemical product. Therefore, the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound is preferably synthesized from a plant (e.g., a vegetable oil such as soybean oil) or biodiesel fuel (mainly composed of fatty acid methyl esters). In other words, the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound is preferably a compound derived from a plant or biodiesel fuel. This can also contribute to reducing the environmental load. Furthermore, the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound is preferably glycidol derived from plant-derived glycerin. Methods for synthesizing glycidol from plant-derived glycerin are described, for example, in "Quaternary Alkyl Ammonium Salt-Catalyzed Transformation of Glycidol to Glycidyl Esters by Transesterification of Methyl Esters, Shinji Tanaka et. al., ACS Catalysis, 2018, 8, 2, 1097-1103" and "Synthesis of glycidol from glycerol, LIU Xuemin et. al., Huagong Jinzhan, vol. 28, 1445-1448, 2009."

[0150] Furthermore, whether or not the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound (e.g., glycidol) is a derivative derived from plant-derived glycerin can be determined by analyzing the epoxy group- and hydroxyl group-containing compound using the radiocarbon ( 14 This can be confirmed by the method for measuring the content ratio (pMC%) of biomass carbon and the method for calculating the biomass carbon content (%).

[0151] As described above, the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is preferably synthesized from a raw material derived from biomass. More specifically, the biomass carbon content of the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group used in the first embodiment is preferably 6% or more, more preferably 10% or more, and even more preferably 20% or more. In this case, it is possible to contribute to reducing the environmental load. Furthermore, the biomass carbon content of the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group used in the first embodiment is not particularly limited, but can be 90% or less, or 80% or less.

[0152] In the second embodiment, the polymerizable unsaturated group-containing resin is prepared by mixing the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or anhydride group with the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) in a ratio (reaction ratio) of 0.5 to 10 moles of hydroxyl groups in the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) per mole of acid groups and / or anhydride groups in the amide-imide resin (C), and more preferably 0.5 to 2 moles of hydroxyl groups in the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) per mole of acid anhydride groups in the amide-imide resin (C). This ratio allows the resulting cured product of the polymerizable unsaturated group-containing resin to have superior insulating reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion.

[0153] The reaction between the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group, the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), and other reaction raw materials used as needed is preferably carried out in a solvent represented by the above general formula (1). If necessary, an organic solvent other than the solvent represented by the above general formula (1) may also be used. Furthermore, the reaction may be carried out in the presence of a basic catalyst, if necessary. The organic solvent and the basic catalyst may be the same as those used in the reaction between the epoxy resin (A) and the unsaturated monobasic acid (B).

[0154] <Other reaction raw materials> Examples of the other reaction raw materials include compounds other than the amide-imide resin (C), the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), and the (meth)acrylate compound having an epoxy group (E), and which have one or more reactive functional groups selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an isocyanate group, and a glycidyl group. In other words, the reaction raw materials for obtaining the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the second embodiment include the above-mentioned amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group and hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), and preferably further include a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group. In addition to the amide-imide resin (C), the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), and the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group, the reaction raw materials may also include, as necessary, a compound having one or more reactive functional groups selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an isocyanate group, and a glycidyl group.

[0155] However, from the viewpoint of fully exerting the desired effects, the total proportion of the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group and the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) in the reaction raw material (solid content) of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the second embodiment is preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, and even more preferably 85% by mass or more. Furthermore, the reaction raw material (solid content) of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of the second embodiment preferably further contains a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group in addition to the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group and the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), and in that case, the total proportion is preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, and even more preferably 85% by mass or more.

[0156] (Method of producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group) The method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group described above is a method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, which contains a solvent having a biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) of 50% or more and an amide bond, represented by the following general formula (1). The biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) of the solvent is preferably 60% or more, more preferably 70% or more, and even more preferably 80% or more. The upper limit of the biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) of the solvent is not particularly limited, but can be 100% or less or 90% or less. [ka] (In the above general formula (1), R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R 3 represents a monovalent organic group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms.

[0157] As an example of a method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group according to the present invention, the method for producing the resin of the first and second embodiments will be described.

[0158] <Method for producing resin according to the first embodiment> In the method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group according to the first embodiment of the present invention, an epoxy resin (A) and an unsaturated monobasic acid (B) are mixed together.

[0159] The method for reacting the reactant materials including the epoxy resin (A), the unsaturated monobasic acid (B), and other reactant materials used as needed is not particularly limited. For example, a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group may be produced by reacting all of the reactant materials at once, or the resin may be produced by reacting the reactant materials sequentially. In this case, the biomass carbon content (%) (pMC%) of the mixture of the epoxy resin (A), the unsaturated monobasic acid (B), and other reactant materials used as needed with the compound represented by general formula (1) is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 20% or more, and even more preferably 30% or more.

[0160] When the above-described sequential reaction is employed, the reaction between the epoxy resin (A) and the unsaturated monobasic acid (B) can be carried out by heating and stirring at a temperature ranging from 70 to 160°C for a reaction time of 1 to 20 hours. The amount of unsaturated monobasic acid (B) is preferably in the range of 0.20 to 1.05 moles per mole of epoxy groups in the epoxy resin (A). The amount of unsaturated monobasic acid (B) is preferably 0.25 moles or more, more preferably 0.30 moles or more, and even more preferably 0.40 moles or more per mole of epoxy groups in the epoxy resin (A). The amount of unsaturated monobasic acid (B) is preferably 1.04 moles or less, more preferably 1.03 moles or less, and even more preferably 1.00 moles or less per mole of epoxy groups in the epoxy resin (A).

[0161] Each reaction in the production of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group is preferably carried out in a solvent represented by the above general formula (1), and an organic solvent other than the solvent represented by the above general formula (1) may be further used as needed. In this case, a basic catalyst may also be used as needed. The organic solvent and basic catalyst may be the same as those used in the reaction between the epoxy resin (A) and the unsaturated monobasic acid (B) described above. Furthermore, each reaction may also use a polymerization inhibitor or an antioxidant as needed.

[0162] The amount of the organic solvent used is preferably in the range of about 0.1 to 5 times the total mass of the reaction raw materials, as this improves the reaction efficiency.

[0163] Alternatively, a mixed solvent containing the organic solvent and water may be used instead of the organic solvent. In this case, the proportion of water per 100 parts by mass of the mixed solvent is preferably in the range of 5 to 60 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 50 parts by mass.

The polymerization inhibitors may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0165] The antioxidant is not particularly limited, and the same compounds as those exemplified as the polymerization inhibitor can be used. The antioxidant may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0167] Next, a method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group according to a second embodiment will be described as another example of the method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group according to the present invention.

[0168] <Method for producing resin according to the second embodiment> In the second embodiment of the method for producing a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group according to the present invention, an amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group is mixed with a hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D). Preferably, a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is further mixed in the presence of a solvent.

[0169] The amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group is preferably produced by reacting a polyisocyanate compound (c1) with a polycarboxylic acid (c2) or a polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) as reaction raw materials. The polyisocyanate compound (c1) preferably contains an aliphatic diisocyanate compound, an alicyclic diisocyanate compound, or a modified product thereof, and the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or the polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) preferably contains a tricarboxylic acid anhydride.

[0170] The method for reacting the reactants including the polyisocyanate compound (c1) and the polycarboxylic acid (c2) or the polycarboxylic acid anhydride (c3) is not particularly limited. For example, the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group may be produced by reacting all of the reactants at once, or the resin may be produced by reacting the reactants sequentially.

[0171] The method for reacting the reactants including the amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group, the hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), the (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group, and other reactants used as needed is not particularly limited. For example, the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group may be produced by a method in which all of the reactants are reacted at once, or the resin may be produced by a method in which the reactants are reacted sequentially. Among these, a method in which an amide-imide resin (C) having an acid group and / or an acid anhydride group is reacted with a hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D) to synthesize a product (1), and then a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group is reacted to obtain a resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group is preferred, because the reaction can be easily controlled. In other words, the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group of this embodiment is preferably one obtained by reacting an amide-imide resin (C) with a hydroxy(meth)acrylate compound (D), and then a (meth)acrylate compound (E) having an epoxy group.

That is, the cured product of this embodiment is obtained by curing the above-described curable resin composition. The cured product of this embodiment has excellent insulation reliability, heat resistance, and adhesion.

[0214] The cured product of this embodiment is preferably obtained by irradiating the curable resin composition with active energy rays to cure it. Examples of the active energy rays include ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet rays, electron beams, α-rays, β-rays, and γ-rays. When ultraviolet rays are used as the active energy rays, irradiation may be performed in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas, or in an air atmosphere in order to efficiently carry out the ultraviolet curing reaction.

[0219] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples in any way.

[0220] The properties of each component in the examples were evaluated using the procedures shown below as appropriate.

[0221] <Epoxy equivalent (epoxy resin (A))> The epoxy equivalent was measured in accordance with JIS K 7236.

[0222] <Total chlorine content (epoxy resin (A))> The total amount of chlorine was calculated in accordance with JIS K 7246. Specifically, the epoxy resin was dissolved in diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, a 1N potassium hydroxide-propylene glycol solution was added, and the mixture was boiled for 20 minutes, after which potentiometric titration was performed with silver nitrate.

[0223] <α-glycol content (epoxy resin (A))> The amount of α-glycol was calculated in accordance with JIS K 7146. Specifically, taking advantage of the fact that α-glycol in the epoxy resin reacts quantitatively with periodic acid, is cleaved, and is oxidized to a carbonyl compound, the amount of α-glycol was calculated by adding potassium iodide to excess periodic acid and titrating the generated iodine with a sodium thiosulfate solution.

[0224] <Acid value (resin having polymerizable unsaturated groups)> The acid values ​​of the resins having a polymerizable unsaturated group obtained in the examples and comparative examples were measured in accordance with JIS K0070:1992 standard.

[0225] <Double bond equivalent (g / equivalent)> The double bond equivalent of the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group prepared in the examples was calculated from the amount of each component in the reaction raw materials using the following formula. Double bond equivalent weight = (molecular weight of compound component in reactant having a double bond) / (molar equivalent weight per mole of functional group of compound having a double bond) That is, the double bond equivalent is the mass of the solid content of the resin solution per mole of double bonds in the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group. The molecular weight of the compound component in the reaction raw material having a double bond is the weight of the solid content of the resin, calculated by adding up the masses of all the components of the reaction raw materials, under the assumption that all of the reaction raw materials constituting the resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group are reacted and bonded. In addition, the double bond equivalent (g / equivalent) can also be measured using various analyses such as titration and elemental analysis, NMR, IR, and differential scanning calorimetry. 1 Although it can be calculated from the area ratio of H-NMR, in the examples it was calculated from the amount charged as described above.

[0226] <Biomass carbon content (solvent, (meth)acrylate compound having an epoxy group, resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group, curable resin composition)> (1) Pretreatment of samples for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 10 mg of the sample to be measured was placed in a quartz sample tube along with fine copper oxide, which was then degassed and sealed. The tube was then heated at 500°C for 30 minutes and then at 850°C for 2 hours to convert it to carbon dioxide. The sample tube was then connected to a vacuum line and purified to carbon dioxide using the cold trap method. The carbon dioxide was then transferred to a quartz tube containing iron powder, after which hydrogen gas was added and the tube was sealed. The tube was then heated at 650°C for 10 hours to carry out a reduction reaction, producing graphite for measurement.

Formula (A): Radiocarbon ( 14 C) content ratio (pMC%) = [{radioactive carbon in the sample ( 14 C) ÷ carbon in the sample to be measured ( 12 C)} / {Radiocarbon of standard material ( 14 C) / carbon of standard material ( 12 C)}×100 (In the above formula, the standard material used was oxalic acid (SRM4990C), supplied by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a standard material for dating, which was converted to graphite using the same pretreatment method as the graphite used for measurement above.)

[0228] (3) Calculation of biomass carbon content (%) Next, the radiocarbon ( 14 The biomass carbon content (%) was calculated by multiplying the biomass carbon content (pMC%) by 0.93, taking into account the effects of atmospheric nuclear testing from 1950 to the present. Formula (B): Biomass carbon content (%) = radiocarbon ( 14 C) content ratio (pMC%) x 0.93 (Note that, since applying this method to a mixture (composition) may result in a large error, if the value calculated using the above formula (B) is 100% or more, the biomass carbon content (%) is considered to be 100%.)
