Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a curable resin composition, and more particularly to a curable resin composition containing a cyanate ester resin, a specific epoxy resin, and a latent curing agent. [Background technology]

[0002] Epoxy resins are widely used industrially as components or raw materials for coating materials, adhesives, and various molding materials.

[0003] Furthermore, in cases where existing epoxy resins, either used alone or in combination, are insufficient in terms of heat resistance, etc., cyanate-epoxy composite resin compositions, which are mixtures of epoxy resins and cyanate ester resins, have become widely used as useful materials because of their high heat resistance.

[0004] For example, a liquid epoxy resin composition for semiconductor encapsulation, which is composed of a cyanate ester resin, an epoxy resin, an inorganic filler, a metal chelate, a dihydrazide compound, and the like, has already been proposed (Patent Document 1). However, in this case, it is necessary to heat the composition at a high temperature for a long time in order to cure the composition, and therefore the composition does not have satisfactory performance. Furthermore, an example has been proposed in which an amine-based curing agent is used in a composite composition containing a cyanate ester resin and an epoxy resin (Patent Document 2), but in this case sufficient storage stability is not obtained. Furthermore, a thermosetting resin composition using a cyanate ester resin and an epoxy resin with a latent curing agent containing an imidazole component has also been proposed (Patent Document 3). However, in this case, the amount of the cyanate ester resin used is limited in order to obtain sufficient storage stability, and thus a satisfactory product has not been obtained. Furthermore, a composite resin composition has been proposed in which a cyanate ester resin and an epoxy resin are combined with a guanidine compound and a phenol compound (Patent Document 4), but the heat resistance is not fully satisfactory. Furthermore, a composite resin composition has been proposed in which an amine-based latent curing agent is combined with a cyanate ester resin and an epoxy resin, each of which has a large number of functional groups (Patent Document 5). However, in this case, the storage stability is not fully satisfactory.

[0005] On the other hand, Patent Documents 6 to 8 and the like describe the 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin used in the present invention, but do not describe the use of this in combination with a cyanate ester resin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] As described above, the cyanate-epoxy composite resin compositions described in Patent Documents 1 to 5 do not provide sufficient storage stability and heat resistance at the same time. It has also been found that the use of a 4-aminophenol-type epoxy resin as the epoxy resin in a cyanate-epoxy composite resin composition results in a cured product with low viscosity and high physical properties. However, as a result of further investigations by the present inventors, it has been found that when a 4-aminophenol-type epoxy resin is used as the epoxy resin in a cyanate-epoxy composite resin composition, there is room for improvement in terms of storage stability. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a curable resin composition that has excellent storage stability and produces a cured product with excellent heat resistance.

[0008] Therefore, the present inventors have conducted extensive research and found that the above object can be achieved by a curable resin composition containing a cyanate ester resin, a specific epoxy resin, and a latent curing agent, thereby completing the present invention.

[0009] That is, the present invention provides a curable resin composition containing (A) a cyanate ester resin, (B) an epoxy resin essentially containing a 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin, and (C) a latent curing agent. The present invention also provides a cured product of the curable resin composition and an adhesive containing the curable resin composition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The curable resin composition of the present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments thereof.

[0011] The cyanate ester resin, which is the component (A) used in the present invention, is a compound having two or more cyanate groups, and can be used without any particular restrictions on the molecular structure, molecular weight, etc.

[0012] The cyanate ester resin of component (A) may be, for example, one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following formula (1), compounds represented by the following formula (2), and at least one polymer thereof:

[0013] NC-OA 1 -Y 1 -A 2 -O-CN (1) (Y in the formula 1 represents a divalent hydrocarbon group that is unsubstituted or substituted with a fluorine atom or a cyanato group, or represents -O-, -S-, or a single bond; A 1 and A 2 are each independently an unsubstituted or substituted phenylene group with 1 to 4 alkyl groups.

[0014] [ka] (wherein m is an integer of 1 or more, and Y 2 and Y 3 R each independently represents -S- or a divalent hydrocarbon group that is unsubstituted or substituted with a fluorine atom or a cyanato group. 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

[0015] In this specification, examples of the alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an isopropyl group, a butyl group, an isobutyl group, a s-butyl group, and a t-butyl group.

[0016] Y in the formula (1) 1 And Y in the formula (2) 2 and Y 3 The unsubstituted or fluorine atom-substituted divalent hydrocarbon group represented by the formula (1) preferably includes one having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. 1 Or Y in the formula (2) 2 and Y 3 The alkyl group preferably has a structure represented by any one of the following formulas (Y-1) to (Y-9).

[0017] [ka] (where n is an integer between 4 and 12, and R 7 and R 8 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or fluorine-substituted methyl group. * represents a bond.

[0018] Among the cyanate ester resins exemplified above, it is preferable to use the compound represented by the formula (1) because it has a good balance between curability and post-curing properties.

[0019] Among the cyanate ester resins, bisphenol E type cyanate ester resins, biphenyl type, novolac phenol type, bisphenol A type, and other cyanate ester resins are preferred because they can provide a cured product with even more excellent heat resistance, and among these, it is preferable to use bisphenol E type cyanate ester resins. Bisphenol type cyanate ester resins such as bisphenol E type and bisphenol A type include those represented by the formula (1) where Y 1 The biphenyl-type cyanate ester resin may be a resin represented by the formula (1) where Y 1 The novolak phenol type cyanate ester resin is a resin in which Y 2 and Y 3 are each independently (Y-1).

[0020] Furthermore, bisphenol type, biphenyl type or novolak phenol type is used because it can produce a cured product with even better heat resistance. NoshiWhen a cyanate ester resin is used, it is preferable that bisphenol-, biphenyl-, or novolac phenol-type cyanate ester resins account for 80% by mass or more of the total cyanate ester resins, and more preferably 90% by mass or more of the bisphenol-, biphenyl-, or novolac phenol-type cyanate ester resins. In particular, in the present invention, it is preferable that bisphenol-type cyanate ester resins account for 80% by mass or more of the total cyanate ester resins, more preferably 90% by mass or more of the bisphenol-type cyanate ester resins, and particularly preferably 95% by mass or more of the bisphenol-type cyanate ester resins.

[0021] From the viewpoint of achieving a particularly excellent balance between curability and storage stability, the content of the cyanate ester resin is more preferably 3 to 80 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 7 to 60 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the solid content of the composition. The solid content refers to the total amount of all components other than the solvent. The curable resin composition may or may not contain a solvent. If a solvent is contained, its content is preferably 5% by mass or less, and more preferably 2% by mass or less, of the curable resin composition.

[0022] The epoxy resin (B) used in the present invention is an epoxy resin containing a 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin as an essential component. As a result of investigations by the present inventors, it was found that when a 4-aminophenol type epoxy resin is used in combination with a cyanate ester resin, there is room for improvement in terms of storage stability, as shown in Comparative Example 1 below. On the other hand, although the 4-aminophenol type epoxy resin and the 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin are structurally similar, combining the 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin with the cyanate ester resin produced a remarkable and hitherto unexpected effect of significantly improving storage stability.

[0023] The 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin is an epoxy resin made from 4-amino-3-methylphenol as a starting material, and its production method is not particularly limited. For example, it can be produced by reacting 4-amino-3-methylphenol with epihalohydrin in the presence of an alkali.

[0024] Examples of the epihalohydrin include epichlorohydrin, epibromohydrin, β-methylepichlorohydrin, and β-methylepibromohydrin. Among these, epichlorohydrin is preferred due to its good reactivity with hydroxyl groups and amino groups. The epihalohydrins can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of the alkali include alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, and alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. Of these alkalis, sodium hydroxide is particularly preferred. These alkalis are preferably used as aqueous solutions, but in some cases, powdered or solid alkalis can be added simultaneously with or separately from water.

[0025] The ratio of 4-amino-3-methylphenol to epihalohydrin used is not particularly limited as long as it is at least equivalent to the hydroxyl and amino groups of the former, but is typically 1.0 to 10.0 equivalents, and preferably 2.0 to 8.0 equivalents. Here, the equivalent of 4-amino-3-methylphenol to the hydroxyl and amino groups is calculated by dividing the number of moles of epihalohydrin by "the number of moles of hydroxyl groups + (the number of moles of amino groups) × 2." If the ratio of epihalohydrin is less than 1.0 equivalent (equivalent), hydroxyl and amino groups that are not glycidyl etherified may remain, resulting in a decrease in purity. Furthermore, if the ratio exceeds 10.0 equivalents, not only will epichlorohydrin be wasted, but the reaction rate may decrease and the epoxy equivalent may increase due to side reactions. The amount of alkali used is not particularly limited as long as it is at least an equivalent (molar) to the hydroxyl and amino groups of the 4-amino-3-methylphenol, but is typically 1.0 to 2.0 equivalents, and preferably 1.0 to 1.5 equivalents. If the amount of alkali used is less than an equivalent to the hydroxyl groups of 4-amino-3-methylphenol, some chlorohydrin ether groups may remain unglycidyl-etherified, resulting in a decrease in purity. If the amount of alkali used exceeds 2.0 equivalents, not only will it be wasted, but side reactions may also cause a decrease in the purity of the product.

[0026] A phase transfer catalyst can also be used in the reaction, and this phase transfer catalyst is known as a reagent used to react a water-insoluble organic compound with a reagent insoluble in an organic solvent. Examples of the phase transfer catalyst include tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, trioctylamine, and tridecylamine, quaternary ammonium bases such as tetramethylammonium, methyltrioctylammonium, methyltridecylammonium, and benzyltrimethylammonium, and quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium chloride, methyltrioctylammonium chloride, methyltridecylammonium chloride, and benzyltrimethylammonium chloride, with quaternary ammonium salts being particularly preferred.

[0027] The amount of the phase transfer catalyst used can be determined as appropriate, but is typically 0.1 to 10.0 parts by mass, preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of 4-amino-3-methylphenol. If the amount of phase transfer catalyst used is less than 0.1 parts by mass, the reaction rate will be significantly slowed or side reactions will proceed, reducing the epoxy equivalent, making it impractical. On the other hand, if the amount exceeds 10.0 parts by mass, the phase transfer catalyst will be wasted and, in some cases, may inhibit the reaction.

[0028] The reaction is usually carried out under heating, preferably at 30° C. to 100° C., particularly preferably at 40° C. to 80° C. A solvent inert to the reaction, such as a hydrocarbon, ether, or ketone, can be used in the reaction; however, when an excess amount of epihalohydrin is used, the epihalohydrin also functions as a solvent, and therefore, it is not essential to use a solvent inert to the reaction, as described above.

[0029] The 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin referred to in the present invention includes a compound having a structure of the following formula (I).

[0030] [ka]

[0031] The epoxy resin of component (B) used in the present invention can be any epoxy resin other than the 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin, and the epoxy resin has at least two epoxy groups in the molecule and can be used without any particular restrictions on the molecular structure, molecular weight, etc.

[0032] Examples of the epoxy resin include polyglycidyl ether compounds of mononuclear polyhydric phenols such as hydroquinone, resorcinol, pyrocatechol, and phlorogluconol; and polynuclear polyhydric phenols such as dihydroxynaphthalene, biphenol, methylene bisphenol (bisphenol F), methylene bis(ortho-cresol), ethylidene bisphenol, isopropylidene bisphenol (bisphenol A), isopropylidene bis(ortho-cresol), tetrabromobisphenol A, 1,3-bis(4-hydroxycumylbenzene), 1,4-bis(4-hydroxycumylbenzene), 1,1,3-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)butane, 1,1,2,2-tetra(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane, thiobisphenol, sulfobisphenol, oxybisphenol, phenol novolac, orthocresol novolac, ethylphenol novolac, butylphenol novolac, octylphenol novolac, resorcinol novolac, and terpene phenols. polyglycidyl ether compounds of polyhydric phenol compounds; polyglycidyl ether compounds of polyhydric alcohol compounds such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexanediol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, thioglycol, dicyclopentadiene dimethanol, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane (hydrogenated bisphenol A), glycerin, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, and bisphenol A-alkylene oxide adducts; glycidyl ester compounds of aliphatic, aromatic, or alicyclic polybasic acids such as maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, suberic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dimer acid, trimer acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, trimellitic acid, trimesic acid, pyromellitic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, and endomethylenetetrahydrophthalic acid, and homopolymers or copolymers of glycidyl methacrylate;Epoxy compounds having a glycidylamino group such as N,N-diglycidylaniline, bis(4-(N-methyl-N-glycidylamino)phenyl)methane, diglycidyl orthotoluidine, N,N-bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)-4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-2-methylaniline, N,N-bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)-4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)aniline, and N,N,N',N'-tetra(2,3-epoxypropyl)-4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane; vinylcyclohexene diepoxide, Examples of epoxy resins include epoxidized cyclic olefin compounds such as cyclopentanediene diepoxide, 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate, 3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexylmethyl-6-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate, and bis(3,4-epoxy-6-methylcyclohexylmethyl)adipate; epoxidized conjugated diene polymers such as epoxidized polybutadiene and epoxidized styrene-butadiene copolymers; and heterocyclic compounds such as triglycidyl isocyanurate. These epoxy resins may also be internally crosslinked with a terminal isocyanate prepolymer or polymerized with a polyvalent active hydrogen compound (such as a polyphenol, polyamine, carbonyl group-containing compound, or polyphosphate ester). These epoxy resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0033] The 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin is preferably contained in an amount of 20 to 100 mass %, more preferably 25 to 70 mass %, of the epoxy resin in the composition of the present invention. When the amount is 20 mass % or more, a cured product having particularly excellent heat resistance can be obtained.

[0034] Furthermore, among the epoxy resins in the composition of the present invention, those other than the 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin preferably contain a glycidyl-type epoxy resin having a glycidyl group from the viewpoint of reactivity, and in particular, a glycidyl-type epoxy resin having an aromatic ring is preferred from the viewpoint of heat resistance. When the epoxy resin contains a glycidyl-type epoxy resin having an aromatic ring other than the 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin, the amount of the glycidyl-type epoxy resin having an aromatic ring is preferably 1% by mass to 80% by mass, and particularly preferably 15% by mass to 75% by mass, of the total epoxy resin, from the viewpoint of ensuring the amount of 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin and heat resistance. As the glycidyl-type epoxy resin having an aromatic ring other than the 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin, a polyglycidyl ether compound of a polynuclear polyhydric phenol compound is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of heat resistance. Furthermore, the use of an aliphatic epoxy resin in combination is preferred because it reduces the viscosity of the composition. When an aliphatic epoxy resin is used in addition to a 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin, the amount of the 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin is preferably 1% by mass to 70% by mass, and particularly preferably 5% by mass to 50% by mass, of the total epoxy resin, from the viewpoints of ensuring the amount of the 4-amino-3-methylphenol-type epoxy resin and reducing viscosity. An example of an aliphatic epoxy resin is a dicyclopentadiene-type epoxy resin. The dicyclopentadiene-type epoxy resin refers to a compound having a dicyclopentadiene skeleton and an epoxy group. The dicyclopentadiene-type epoxy resin is preferably an aliphatic compound. When the epoxy resin of the present invention contains a dicyclopentadiene-type epoxy resin as the aliphatic epoxy resin, the amount of the dicyclopentadiene-type epoxy resin is preferably 1% by mass to 70% by mass, and particularly preferably 5% by mass to 50% by mass, from the same viewpoints as above.

[0035] The amount of the epoxy resin as component (B) used is preferably 1 to 1000 parts by mass, more preferably 3 to 500 parts by mass, and even more preferably 5 to 200 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the cyanate ester resin as component (A), in order to obtain excellent physical properties of the cured product. Furthermore, the amount of the 4-amino-3-methylphenol type epoxy resin used is preferably 1 to 200 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the cyanate ester resin, which is component (A). Use within this range is preferred because a resin composition with excellent heat resistance can be obtained; the amount is preferably 5 to 150 parts by mass, and more preferably 10 to 100 parts by mass.

[0036] As the latent curing agent, which is the component (C) used in the present invention, an amine-based latent curing agent having active hydrogen (hereinafter also referred to as an "active hydrogen-containing amine-based latent curing agent") is preferably used, since it allows a curable resin with a good balance between storage stability and curability to be obtained. Examples of the active hydrogen-containing amine-based latent curing agent include dibasic acid dihydrazides such as oxalic acid dihydrazide, malonic acid dihydrazide, succinic acid dihydrazide, glutaric acid dihydrazide, adipic acid dihydrazide, suberic acid dihydrazide, azelaic acid dihydrazide, sebacic acid dihydrazide, and phthalic acid dihydrazide; guanidine compounds such as dicyandiamide, benzoguanamine, and acetoguanamine; melamine; and modified amines such as dehydration condensates of amine and carboxylic acid, adducts of amine and epoxy, adducts of amine and isocyanate, Michael adducts of amine, Mannich reaction products of amine, condensates of amine and urea, and condensates of amine and ketone.

[0037] Among the active hydrogen-containing amine-based latent curing agents, preferred are at least one selected from the group consisting of guanidine compounds such as dicyandiamide, benzoguanamine, and acetoguanamine; or (C-1) modified amines obtained by reacting an amine compound having one or more active hydrogens with an epoxy compound, (C-2) modified amines obtained by reacting an amine compound having one or more active hydrogens with an isocyanate compound, and (C-3) modified amines obtained by reacting an amine compound having one or more active hydrogens with an epoxy compound and an isocyanate compound, and (C-4) latent curing agents containing a phenolic resin in addition to at least one modified amine selected from (C-1), (C-2), or (C-3).
