Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in recent years, magnetic devices are required to handle higher voltages and larger currents. When using a conventional prepreg (glass cloth base material / epoxy resin) as the heat-resistant resin layer, it has been unable to satisfy both sufficient thinness and sufficient withstand voltage. Furthermore, the conventional prepreg has a problem of high dielectric constant.

[0005] On the other hand, it is possible to reduce the dielectric constant by creating a resin film by removing the glass cloth base material from conventional prepregs. However, such resin films have insufficient flame retardancy. Furthermore, even if flame retardants are added to the resin film, phosphorus-based flame retardants are effective in improving flame retardancy but tend to worsen durability and tracking resistance. In addition, aluminum hydroxide, one of the flame retardants, improves tracking resistance and flame retardancy, but its effectiveness as a flame retardant is inferior to phosphorus-based flame retardants, requiring the addition of large amounts. Thus, a resin film that satisfies all requirements such as low dielectric constant, flame retardancy, durability, and tracking resistance has not been obtained.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a resin composition with a low dielectric constant and excellent flame retardancy, durability, and tracking resistance, as well as a resin film, resin-coated copper foil, multilayer wiring board, coil structure, magnetic device, and insulated wire using the same.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] [Resin Composition] The resin composition according to this embodiment contains (X) resin, (Y) phosphorus-based flame retardant, and (Z) aluminum hydroxide. The blending amount of the (Y) component is 5 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the (X) component. Further, the blending amount of the (Z) component is 10 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the (X) component.

[0012] ((X) Component) As the (X) resin used in this embodiment, a resin known per se can be appropriately used. Examples of the (X) component include a resin containing (X1) polyimide obtained by imidizing polyamic acid, and a resin containing (X2) epoxy resin, an aromatic amine-based curing agent, and a solvent-soluble polyimide resin.

[0013] ((X1) Component) The polyamic acid used in this embodiment is preferably an addition polymerization product of (A) acid dianhydride and (B) diamine. Further, this polyamic acid preferably contains (B1) dimer diamine at a molar ratio of 0.2 or more with respect to all diamine components. That is, the polyimide formed using the polyamic acid used in this embodiment has an ester skeleton and a dimer skeleton, and low water absorption can be realized due to the ester skeleton. Further, low dielectric characteristics are exhibited due to the dimer skeleton, and by including a certain amount of dimer diamine as the diamine component, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent can be made lower, and the desired low dielectric characteristics can be realized. Furthermore, a polyimide excellent in thermal decomposition resistance can be formed.

[0014] ((A) Component) The polyamic acid used in this embodiment uses (A) an acid dianhydride as one of its raw materials. Any known acid dianhydride can be used as appropriate. Examples of acid dianhydride components include 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, pyromellitic acid dianhydride, 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic acid anhydride, and ester-type acid dianhydrides having an ester bond in the molecule. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the acid dianhydride component has structural units derived from ester-type acid dianhydrides having ester bonds in the molecule. By having structural units derived from ester-type acid dianhydrides in the polyamic acid, low water absorption can be imparted to the resulting polyimide. The acid dianhydride has two acid anhydride groups in one molecule, and is preferably a tetracarboxylic dianhydride, and more preferably an aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride. There may be one or more ester bonds in the molecule, preferably one to three, and more preferably one or two. The acid dianhydride may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

[0015] Such acidic dianhydrides preferably have the structure shown in the following formula (1). In formula (1), Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group, and a substituted arylene group means that the hydrogen atoms of an unsubstituted arylene group are substituted by any substituent. The number of carbon atoms in the substituted or unsubstituted arylene group (excluding the number of carbon atoms of the substituent) is preferably 6 or more and 20 or less, and more preferably 6 or more and 12 or less.

[0016] [ka]

[0017] In formula (1), examples of unsubstituted arylene groups in Ar include o-phenylene, m-phenylene, p-phenylene, 2,6-naphthylene, and 4,4'-biphenylylene. Among these, p-phenylene, 2,6-naphthylene, or 4,4'-biphenylylene are preferred.

[0018] Examples of substituents on the substituted arylene group include C1-C8 alkyl groups, halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atoms), and halogenated alkyl groups in which the hydrogen atoms of the alkyl group are substituted with the halogen atoms. Among these substituents, C1-C8 alkyl groups are preferred, and methyl groups are more preferred. The number of substituents may be one or two or more. If there are two or more substituents, they may be the same or different. Specific examples of substituted arylene groups include the 2,2',3,3',5,5'-hexamethyl-4,4'-biphenylylene group.

[0019] Preferred examples of acid dianhydrides represented by formula (1) include the compound represented by formula (1-1) below, and the compound represented by formula (1-2) below (TAHQ), with the compound represented by formula (1-2) below (TMPBP-TME) being more preferred.

[0020] [ka]

[0021] ((B) component) The polyamic acid used in this embodiment uses (B) diamine as one of its raw materials. Any known diamine can be used as appropriate. The polyamic acid has structural units derived from diamine as a diamine component, and one of the diamine components has structural units derived from (B1) dimer amine. Here, dimer amine refers to an aliphatic diamine in which two terminal carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) of a cyclic or acyclic dimer acid obtained as a dimer of an unsaturated fatty acid are substituted with primary aminomethyl groups (-CH2-NH2) or amino groups (-NH2). By having structural units derived from dimer amine in the polyamic acid, low dielectric properties can be imparted to the resulting polyimide. (B1) dimer amine may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

[0022] Dimer acids are dibasic acids obtained by the intermolecular polymerization reaction of unsaturated fatty acids. Aliphatic diamines derived from dimer acids are obtained by polymerizing unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, or linolenic acid to form dimer acids, reducing them, and then aminating them. Such dimer amines are preferably diamine compounds obtained by substituting the terminal carboxylic acid group of a dibasic acid compound having 18 to 54 carbon atoms, preferably 22 to 44 carbon atoms, with a primary aminomethyl group or an amino group.

[0023] Commercially available dimeramines include "Versamin® 551" and "Versamin® 552" from Cognics Japan, and "PRIAMINE® 1073," "PRIAMINE® 1074," and "PRIAMINE® 1075" from Croda Japan.

[0024] Furthermore, the polyamic acid used in this embodiment contains (B1) dimeramine in a molar ratio of 0.2 or more relative to the total diamine components. By including dimeramine in a specific molar ratio or higher relative to the total diamine, the resulting polyimide can be given a lower dielectric constant and a lower dielectric loss tangent. The molar ratio of (B1) dimeramine to the total diamine components is preferably 0.3 or higher, and more preferably 0.4 or higher.

[0025] The polyamic acid used in this embodiment preferably contains (B2) aromatic diamine as another diamine component. Examples of (B2) aromatic diamines include p-phenylenediamine (PDA), m-phenylenediamine, 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA), 3,3'-bistrifluoromethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (TFMB), 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane, 1,2-bis(anilino)ethane, diaminodiphenylsulfone, Examples include diaminobenzanilide, diaminobenzoate, diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 2,2-bis(p-aminophenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(p-aminophenyl)hexafluoropropane, 1,5-diaminonaphthalene, diaminotoluene, diaminobenzotrifluoride, 1,4-bis(p-aminophenoxy)benzene, 4,4'-bis(p-aminophenoxy)biphenyl, diaminoanthraquinone, and 4,4'-bis(3-aminophenoxyphenyl)diphenylsulfone. Among these aromatic diamines, PDA, ODA, or TFMB are preferred, with ODA being more preferred. (B2) Aromatic diamines may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0026] The molar ratio of diamine to acidic dianhydride [(B) / (A)] is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.90 to 1.10, more preferably 0.95 to 1.05, even more preferably 0.97 to 1.03, and particularly preferably 0.98 to 1.02.

[0027] ((C) component) The polyamic acid used in this embodiment can be synthesized by known general methods. For example, a polyamic acid composition (polyamic acid solution) can be obtained by reacting (A) an acidic dianhydride and (B) a diamine in (C) an organic solvent. The organic solvent used for polymerization of polyamic acid is not particularly limited as long as it can dissolve the acidic dianhydride and diamine as monomer components and also dissolve the polyamic acid produced by the polyaddition reaction. Examples of such organic solvents include urea-based solvents such as tetramethylurea and N,N-dimethylethylurea; sulfone-based solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, diphenyl sulfone, and tetramethyl sulfone; amide-based solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-diethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and hexamethylphosphate triamide; ester-based solvents such as γ-butyrolactone; alkyl halide-based solvents such as chloroform and methylene chloride; aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvents such as benzene and toluene; phenol-based solvents such as phenol and cresol; ketone-based solvents such as cyclopentanone; and ether-based solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane, 1,4-dioxane, dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, and p-cresol methyl ether. These organic solvents may be used individually or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of enhancing the solubility and reactivity of polyamic acids, the organic solvent is preferably selected from the group consisting of amide solvents, ketone solvents, ester solvents, and ether solvents, with amide solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-diethylacetamide, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone being more preferred.

[0028] The molecular weight of polyamic acid can be adjusted by adjusting the molar ratio of the total number of moles of the acidic dianhydride component to the total number of moles of the diamine component. The molecular weight (weight-average molecular weight) of polyamic acid is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of solubility in organic solvents, it is more preferable to be between 10,000 and 100,000. The weight-average molecular weight of polyamic acid can be determined, for example, from the value converted to standard polystyrene by gel filtration chromatography (GPC) measurement.

[0029] The synthesis of polyamic acids by the polyaddition reaction of acidic dianhydrides and diamines is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen. In an inert atmosphere, the polyaddition reaction proceeds by dissolving the acidic dianhydride and diamine in an organic solvent and mixing them. The order of addition of the acidic dianhydride and diamine is not particularly limited. For example, the diamine may be dissolved in an organic solvent or dispersed in a slurry to form a diamine solution, and the acidic dianhydride may be added to the diamine solution. The acidic dianhydride and diamine may be added directly to the organic solvent in a solid state, or they may be added separately dissolved in an organic solvent or dispersed in a slurry.

[0030] The temperature conditions for the polyaddition reaction are not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of suppressing the decrease in molecular weight of the polyamic acid due to depolymerization, the reaction temperature is preferably 100°C or lower, and from the viewpoint of allowing the polyaddition reaction to proceed appropriately, the reaction temperature is more preferably 20°C to 80°C. The reaction time can be arbitrarily set within the range of 1 hour to 72 hours, and if necessary, it may be left overnight at room temperature.

[0031] When preparing the polyamic acid composition used in this embodiment, the viscosity of the solution is preferably 500 mPa·s or higher from the viewpoint of film-forming properties. Furthermore, the concentration of polyamic acid in the polyamic acid composition used in this embodiment is preferably 10% by mass or higher, more preferably 15% by mass or higher, and even more preferably 25% by mass or higher. In particular, if the concentration of polyamic acid is 15% by mass or higher, the productivity of forming a polyimide coating film using polyamic acid can be increased. Furthermore, the upper limit of the concentration of polyamic acid is preferably 50% by mass or lower, and even more preferably 30% by mass or lower, from the viewpoint of sufficiently dissolving the polyamic acid in the organic solvent.

[0032] ((X2) component) The (X) resin used in this embodiment may also be a resin containing (X2) epoxy resin, an aromatic amine-based curing agent, and a solvent-soluble polyimide resin. This (X2) can also improve the dielectric breakdown strength of the cured product of the resin composition.

[0033] The resin composition containing component (X2) may be B-staged by heat. By B-staged this resin composition, a resin film with sufficient fluidity and adhesion can be obtained.

[0034] Any epoxy resin having two or more glycidyl groups can be used. Suitable epoxy resins include bisphenol A type epoxy resin, bisphenol F type epoxy resin, novolacphenol type epoxy resin, biphenyl type epoxy resin, naphthalene type epoxy resin, and dicyclopentadiene type epoxy resin. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more types.

[0035] Aromatic amine curing agents are not particularly limited as long as they have an aromatic group and an amino group and have the effect of accelerating the curing of epoxy resins when irradiated with light. Examples of aromatic groups include phenyl groups, biphenyl groups, and fluorenyl groups. Examples of aromatic amine curing agents include polytetramethylene oxide-di-p-aminobenzoate, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone, 4,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)biphenyl, 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane, bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone, 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, trimethylenebis( Examples include 4-aminobenzoate, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone, 9,9'-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene, and 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0036] When the number of moles of epoxy resin is set to 1, the amount of aromatic amine-based curing agent used is preferably between 0.2 moles and 1.5 moles. If the amount used is above the lower limit, it tends to be easier to obtain appropriate toughness and chemical resistance. On the other hand, if the amount used is below the upper limit, it tends to be easier to obtain appropriate Tg and thermal expansion coefficient.

[0037] A solvent-soluble polyimide resin is a polyimide resin that is soluble in the solvent used in the production of the second adhesive resin composition used in this embodiment. Preferred solvent-soluble polyimide resins have high Tg, low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent film properties, low dielectric constant, and low dielectric loss tangent. Examples of solvent-soluble polyimide resins include fully imidized soluble polyimide resins obtained by reacting diaminotrimethylphenylindan with benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid 2-anhydride. This compound can improve adhesive strength without the need for other adhesion-imparting agents. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the solvent-soluble polyimide resin is not particularly limited, but is preferably between 10,000 and 50,000, and particularly preferably between 12,000 and 20,000.

[0038] When the total amount of epoxy resin and aromatic amine-based curing agent is 100 parts by mass, the amount of solvent-soluble polyimide resin blended is preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less, and particularly preferably 15 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less. If the blending amount is above the lower limit, it tends to be easier to obtain an improvement in adhesive strength and flexibility. Also, if the blending amount is below the upper limit, it tends to be possible to ensure the breaking strength of the film.

[0039] ((Y) component) In this embodiment, any known phosphorus-based flame retardant can be used as the (Y) phosphorus-based flame retardant. Examples of phosphorus-based flame retardants include halogenated phosphate esters such as tris(chloroethyl) phosphate, tris(2,3-dichloropropyl) phosphate, tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate, tris(2,3-bromopropyl) phosphate, tris(bromochloropropyl) phosphate, 2,3-dibromopropyl-2,3-chloropropyl phosphate, tris(tribromophenyl) phosphate, tris(dibromophenyl) phosphate, and tris(tribromoneopentyl) phosphate. Non-halogenated aliphatic phosphate esters such as trimethyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, tributyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, and tributoxyethyl phosphate; triphenyl phosphate, cresyl diphenyl phosphate, dicresyl phosphate, tricresyl phosphate, trixylenyl phosphate, xylenyl diphenyl phosphate, tris(isopropylphenyl) phosphate, isopropylphenyl diphenyl phosphate, diisopropylphenyl Examples include non-halogenated aromatic phosphate esters such as triphenyl phosphate, tris(trimethylphenyl) phosphate, tris(t-butylphenyl) phosphate, hydroxyphenyldiphenyl phosphate, and octyldiphenyl phosphate; metal salts of phosphinic acids such as aluminum trisdiethylphosphinate, aluminum trismethylethylphosphinate, aluminum trisdiphenylphosphinate, zinc bisdiethylphosphinate, zinc bismethylethylphosphinate, zinc bisdiphenylphosphinate, titanyl bisdiethylphosphinate, titanium tetrakisdiethylphosphinate, titanium bismethylethylphosphinate, titanium tetrakismethylethylphosphinate, titanyl bisdiphenylphosphinate, and titanium tetrakisdiphenylphosphinate; and phosphin oxide compounds such as diphenylvinylphosphin oxide, triphenylphosphin oxide, trialkylphosphin oxide, and tris(hydroxyalkyl)phosphin oxide.

[0040] The amount of component (Y) must be between 5 and 30 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (X). If the amount of component (Y) is less than 5 parts by mass, the resulting resin film will have insufficient flame retardancy. On the other hand, if the amount of component (Y) exceeds 30 parts by mass, the resulting resin film will have insufficient durability and tracking resistance. From a similar viewpoint, the amount of component (Y) is preferably between 6 and 18 parts by mass, more preferably between 7 and 15 parts by mass, and particularly preferably between 8 and 12 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (X). ((Z) component) The (Z) aluminum hydroxide used in this embodiment can be any known flame retardant as appropriate. The amount of component (Z) must be between 10 parts by mass and 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (X). If the amount of component (Z) is less than 10 parts by mass, the resulting resin film will have insufficient flame retardancy. On the other hand, if the amount of component (Z) exceeds 50 parts by mass, the resulting resin film will have insufficient durability. From a similar viewpoint, the amount of component (Z) is preferably between 12 parts by mass and 40 parts by mass, more preferably between 14 parts by mass and 30 parts by mass, and particularly preferably between 16 parts by mass and 25 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (X).

[0041] In the resin composition according to this embodiment, in addition to components (X) to (Z), extender pigments, curing accelerators, colorants, surfactants, leveling agents, plasticizers, sensitizers, silane coupling agents, and non-reactive diluents may be added as needed.

[0042] The method for producing the resin composition according to this embodiment is not limited to a specific method. For example, after blending each of the above components in a predetermined proportion, the composition can be produced by kneading or mixing at room temperature using a kneading means such as a three-roll mill, ball mill, or sand mill, or by a stirring means such as a super mixer or planetary mixer. Furthermore, pre-kneading or pre-mixing may be performed before the kneading or mixing as needed.

[0043] [Resin film] The resin film according to this embodiment is a resin film made of the resin composition according to this embodiment described above. For example, taking a resin film made from a resin composition containing component (X1) as an example, the resin film made from a resin composition containing component (X1) is a resin film containing a polyimide obtained by imidizing the polyamic acid according to the above embodiment. The method for converting polyamic acid to polyimide is not particularly limited, but polyimide can be produced by dehydrating and cyclizing (imidizing) the polyamic acid obtained as described above. The dehydration and cyclization (imidization) method can be known, such as thermal imidization, which involves dehydration and cyclization by heating, or chemical imidization, which involves chemical cyclization using a known dehydration and cyclization catalyst. Furthermore, after polyimidization, some of the amino groups in the polyamic acid may be maleimidized.

[0044] In the case of thermal imidation, the heating temperature is preferably 120°C to 350°C, and more preferably 150°C to 250°C. The heating time is preferably 3 minutes to 3 hours, and more preferably 5 minutes to 2 hours. In the case of chemical imidation, for example, pyridine, triethylamine, or acetic anhydride can be used as the dehydration and ring-closing catalyst. In this case, the reaction temperature can be selected from any temperature between 20°C and 180°C, but it is preferably 150°C or lower. The reaction time is also preferably 1 hour to 3 hours. Imidation may be carried out in air, under reduced pressure, or in an inert gas such as nitrogen, but in order to obtain a highly transparent polyimide film, it is preferable to carry it out under reduced pressure or in an inert gas such as nitrogen.

[0045] The molecular weight (weight-average molecular weight) of the polyimide is not particularly limited, but it is preferably between 10,000 and 100,000 from the viewpoint of low dielectric properties, solubility in organic solvents, and film-forming properties of the resulting polyimide. The weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide can be determined, for example, from the value converted to standard polystyrene by gel filtration chromatography (GPC) measurement.

[0046] The resin film according to this embodiment contains the polyimide obtained as described above. The method for producing such a resin film is not particularly limited, and examples include coating the above-mentioned polyamic acid composition in a film-like manner onto a substrate (for example, a plastic film made of a resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, urethane, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polycarbonate, a glass plate, a stainless steel plate, a copper plate including thin copper foil, or an aluminum plate), then drying and heating to remove the solvent and dehydrate and cyclize (imide), or dissolving the polyimide obtained by converting polyamic acid to polyimide in an organic solvent, coating the polyimide solution in a film-like manner onto the substrate, and then drying and removing the solvent. The method of coating onto the substrate is not particularly limited, and conventionally known coating methods can be applied.

[0047] The thickness of the resin film is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the application. The thickness of the resin film can be easily controlled by appropriately adjusting the solid content concentration of each component in the polyamic acid composition, the coating thickness, and the viscosity.

[0048] [Applications of resin film] The resin film according to this embodiment can be suitably used in resin-coated copper foil, multilayer wiring boards, coil structures, magnetic devices, and insulated wires. Furthermore, the resin film according to this embodiment is suitably used as a film for various components such as color filters, flexible displays, semiconductor components, or optical components. Because the polyimide film exhibits insulating properties, it is suitably applied as an insulating substrate for printed circuit boards. In addition, because the polyimide film is a thin, flexible film that exhibits insulating properties, it is also effective as a base film for flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs). [Examples]

[0052] [Example 1] 100 parts by mass of resin A (based on resin solids), 10 parts by mass of phosphorus-based flame retardant, and 20 parts by mass of aluminum hydroxide were placed in a container, pre-mixed with a stirrer, and then mixed and dispersed at room temperature using a three-roll roller to obtain the resin composition.

[0053] [Example 2] A resin composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that each material was blended according to the composition shown in Table 1.

[0054] [Comparative Examples 1-7] A resin composition was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that each material was blended according to the composition shown in Table 1.

[0055] [Evaluation of resin compositions] The resin composition was evaluated (relative temperature index, tracking resistance, flame retardancy, relative permittivity) using the following method. The results are shown in Table 1. (1) Relative Temperature Index (RTI) First, test specimens were prepared as follows: A resin composition was applied to a substrate (PET film, thickness: 38 μm, with release treatment) using a bar coater, pre-dried at 100°C for 30 minutes, then fully dried at 160°C for 1 hour, and finally subjected to a heat-curing treatment at 190°C for 30 to 90 minutes to produce test specimens of the specified size. The RTI was measured for the obtained test specimens using a method compliant with UL-746. The relative temperature index was then evaluated according to the following criteria. ○: RTI is 130℃ or higher. △: RTI is between 120°C and 130°C. ×: RTI is below 120°C. (2) Tracking resistance Except for the size of the test specimen, (1) test specimens of the specified size were prepared in the same manner as for the relative temperature index test specimens. The comparative tracking index (CTI) of the obtained test specimens was measured using a method compliant with IEC 60112. Then, the tracking resistance was evaluated according to the following criteria. ○: The CTI voltage is 600V or higher. △: CTI is between 500V and 600V. ×: The CTI voltage is less than 500V. (3) Flame retardant Except for the size of the test specimen, (1) test specimens of the specified size were prepared in the same manner as for the relative temperature index test specimens. The obtained test specimens were tested in accordance with the UL-94 standard, and their flame retardancy was evaluated according to the following criteria. ○: Equivalent to VTM-0 and also equivalent to V-0. △: Equivalent to VTM-0, but not equivalent to V-0. ×: Not equivalent to VTM-0, and also not equivalent to V-0. (4) Relative permittivity Except for the size of the test specimen, (1) test specimens of the specified size were prepared in the same manner as for the relative temperature index test specimens. The relative permittivity of the obtained test specimens (20 mm × 20 mm × 200 μm thickness) was measured at a frequency of 1 MHz using a KEYSIGHT RF Impedance / Material Analyzer, model 4291b, 1.8 GHz. The relative permittivity was then evaluated according to the following criteria. ○: The relative permittivity is 2.8 or less. △: The relative permittivity is greater than 2.8 and less than or equal to 3.5. ×: The relative permittivity is greater than 3.5.

[0056] [Table 1]

[0057] As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, when the resin composition according to the present invention was used (Examples 1 and 2), it was confirmed that all results for relative temperature index, tracking resistance, flame retardancy, and dielectric constant were good. Therefore, it was confirmed that the present invention yields a resin composition with a low dielectric constant and excellent flame retardancy, durability, and tracking resistance.
