Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to fluorine-containing polymers and methods for producing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Radical polymerization reactions are widely used industrially because they offer excellent monomer versatility and can be easily carried out even in polar media such as water.

[0003] When haloolefins, particularly fluoroolefins, are used as monomers, haloolefin polymers can be synthesized. Haloolefin polymers are useful as raw materials for low-reactivity carbon-carbon double bond solvents, low-reactivity solvents, heat transfer fluids, pharmaceutical and agricultural chemical intermediates, fire extinguishing agents, surfactants, surface treatment agents, low-friction sliding materials, mold release materials, resin molding additives, chemical-resistant greases, low refractive index materials, low dielectric constant materials, heat-resistant elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers, flame-retardant materials, chemical-resistant ionomers, and photoresist materials.

[0004] One known method for polymerizing haloolefins is the method described in Patent Document 1. Patent Document 1 describes a radical polymerization method for producing a haloolefin polymer or copolymer by radical polymerization of a specific haloolefin in the presence of a specific organotellurium compound. This method is called TERP (organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2018 / 164147 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] Because cured products made from fluorine-containing polymers have excellent dielectric properties, they are used as low-dielectric materials in various electronic components. In particular, with the recent development of high-speed communication technology, the demand for low-dielectric materials that can reduce the loss of high-frequency signals is increasing. The inventors considered developing fluorine-containing polymers as a laminationable material for interlayer insulating films in multilayer wiring boards. Since multilayer wiring boards are formed by repeatedly arranging metal wiring and laminating interlayer insulating films, the material for the interlayer insulating film needs to be laminationable by heat curing. In addition, high dimensional accuracy is required for the interlayer insulating film to ensure insulation between wiring. In order to achieve such laminationability and dimensional accuracy, it is desirable that the material for the interlayer insulating film has high curability. However, to date, no knowledge has been obtained regarding a method that can achieve both excellent curability and low dielectric properties of the cured product in fluorine-containing polymers.

[0007] For example, a fluorine-containing polymer obtained by the method described in Patent Document 1 can be used as a curable material by introducing curable groups. However, because the molecular chains of this fluorine-containing polymer are linear, the cured product has a low crosslinking density, making it difficult to obtain sufficient curability.

[0008] In view of these circumstances, the object of this disclosure is to provide a fluorine-containing polymer having excellent curability and low dielectric properties of the cured product, as well as a method for producing the fluorine-containing polymer. [Means for solving the problem]

The same applies to numerical values ​​and their ranges, and they do not limit the present invention.

[0024] In this disclosure, the term "process" includes not only processes that are independent of other processes, but also processes that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes, provided that the purpose of such process is achieved. In this disclosure, the numerical range indicated using "~" includes the numbers before and after "~" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In this disclosure, each component may contain multiple types of the corresponding substance. If multiple types of the substance corresponding to each component are present in the composition, the content or amount of each component means the total content or amount of the multiple types of substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified. An aryl group refers to a monovalent group in aromatic compounds that corresponds to a residue obtained by removing one hydrogen atom bonded to any one of the carbon atoms forming the aromatic ring. The term is used as a general term encompassing both homoaryl groups derived from carbocyclic compounds and heteroaryl groups derived from heterocyclic compounds. An arylene group is a divalent group that corresponds to a residue obtained by removing one hydrogen atom bonded to any one of the carbon atoms in an aryl group. In this disclosure, the term "reactive carbon-carbon double bond" refers to a carbon-carbon double bond that can react in various ways as an olefin, and does not include aromatic double bonds. In this disclosure, the number of carbon atoms in a compound or its component means the number of carbon atoms in the substituent if the compound or component has substituents. In this disclosure, (meth)acrylic acid is a general term for acrylic acid and methacrylic acid. (Meth)acrylate is a general term for acrylate and methacrylate. (Meth)acrylamide is a general term for acrylamide and methacrylamide. "Polymers" and "oligomers" are compounds formed by the polymerization of monomers. In other words, "polymers" and "oligomers" have multiple structural units.

Similarly, the phrase "polymerizing compound A and compound B" includes both cases of polymerizing compound A and compound B alone, and cases of polymerizing compound A, compound B, and other compounds. Here, compound A and compound B represent any compound described in this disclosure that has a reactive carbon-carbon double bond in its molecule. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the polymer described in this disclosure may be a homopolymer of one compound or a copolymer of two or more compounds.

[0025] Fluorine-containing polymers The fluorine-containing polymer of this disclosure (hereinafter also simply referred to as the fluorine-containing polymer) has a fluorine content of 50% by mass or more, a degree of unsaturation of 0.1 mEq / g or more, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of -20°C or higher, and a maximum value E of the complex modulus in the range of -50°C to (glass transition temperature -10°C). * 1 and the minimum value E of the complex modulus in the range of (glass transition temperature + 10°C) to 250°C. * The relationship between 2 and is E * 2 / E * The condition satisfies 1 ≤ 0.01.

[0026] The fluorine-containing polymers of this disclosure can be used as curable materials. The fluorine-containing polymers of this disclosure are polymers obtained by polymerizing monomers having reactive carbon-carbon double bonds, for example, oligomers and compounds having unsaturated bonds. Since the degree of unsaturation of the fluorine-containing polymers of this disclosure is 0.1 mEq / g or higher, when a cured product is made using the fluorine-containing polymer, a cured product with a high crosslink density is obtained. Furthermore, since the glass transition temperature of the fluorine-containing polymers of this disclosure is -20°C or higher, good hardness is obtained when the cured product is made, and combined with the high crosslink density mentioned above, a cured product with excellent mechanical strength is obtained. In addition, since the fluorine content of the fluorine-containing polymers of this disclosure is 50% by mass or higher, a cured product with a high fluorine content and excellent low dielectric properties can be obtained. Furthermore, the fluorine-containing polymers of this disclosure are as described above. * 2 / E * The relationship 1 ≤ 0.01 is satisfied. Polymers that do not melt in the range up to 250°C are typically E * 2 / E * The relationship 1 ≤ 0.01 is not satisfied. Fluorine-containing polymers are E * 2 / E * The relationship 1 ≤ 0.01 is considered an indicator that the fluorine-containing polymer will melt. When the fluorine-containing polymer satisfies this relationship, suitable melt molding becomes possible, and it can be preferably used as a curable material. Due to these properties, the fluorine-containing polymer of this disclosure is particularly useful as a curable material for applications where excellent curability and low dielectric properties are desired.

[0027] The fluorine content of the fluorine-containing polymer is 50% by mass or more, and a high fluorine content is preferable from the viewpoint of low dielectric properties of the cured product. For example, the fluorine content of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 55% by mass or more, and more preferably 60% by mass or more. The fluorine content of the fluorine-containing polymer may also be 76% by mass or less. From this viewpoint, the fluorine content of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 50% by mass to 76% by mass, more preferably 55% by mass to 76% by mass, and even more preferably 60% by mass to 76% by mass. The fluorine content of the compound shall be determined by combustion ion chromatography. Furthermore, the fluorine content of a compound can also be confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with an error range of approximately ±10%.

[0028] The degree of unsaturation of the fluorine-containing polymer is 0.1 mEq / g or higher. From the viewpoint of increasing the number of crosslinking points and further improving curability, the degree of unsaturation of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 0.3 mEq / g or higher, more preferably 0.4 mEq / g or higher, even more preferably 0.5 mEq / g, and may be 1.0 mEq / g or higher, or 1.5 mEq / g or higher. There is no particular upper limit to the degree of unsaturation of the fluorine-containing polymer, and it is preferable to adjust it according to the desired physical properties of the cured product. For example, the degree of unsaturation of the fluorine-containing polymer may be 10 mEq / g or lower. The degree of unsaturation of fluorine-containing polymers can be adjusted by the type of monomer used as a raw material, the polymerization method, and other factors.

[0029] In this disclosure, the degree of unsaturation of fluorine-containing polymers shall be measured by a method conforming to the microtitration method specified in JIS K 1557-3:2007 (corresponding international standard: ISO 17710:2002). Specifically, it shall be measured by the following method. Prepare the following reagents: 0.05 mol / L methanolic mercuric acetate solution (Hg(C2H3O2)2), 0.05 mol / L methanolic potassium hydroxide solution, 0.05 mol / L methanolic hydrochloric acid solution, sodium bromide, and methanol. Add 2 mL of mercuric acetate solution to the tetrahydrofuran solution of the sample and stir, then let the solution stand for 30 minutes. Add 50 mL of methanol, then add 0.25 g of sodium bromide. Titrate with potassium hydroxide solution using an automatic titrator. Perform a blank test in the same manner without adding the sample. To correct the results, prepare a sample solution in the system without mercuric acetate, and measure the acidity or basicity of the sample using potassium hydroxide solution or hydrochloric acid solution. Determine the degree of unsaturation of the sample using the following formula.

[0030] U=[(V S -V B ) × c(KOH) / m]-A+B U: Unsaturation degree (mEq / g) V S : Amount of 0.05 mol / L potassium hydroxide solution required for the sample solution (mL) V B : Amount of 0.05 mol / L potassium hydroxide solution required for the blank test (mL) c(KOH): Concentration of methanolic potassium hydroxide solution (mEq / mL) m: Sample quantity (g) A: Acidity (mEq / g) B: Basicity (mEq / g)

[0031] Furthermore, the degree of unsaturation of fluorine-containing polymers can also be confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with an error range of approximately ±10%.

[0032] The number of reactive carbon-carbon double bonds in a fluorine-containing polymer is not particularly limited as long as the fluorine-containing polymer satisfies the above-mentioned degree of unsaturation. From the viewpoint of increasing crosslinking density to obtain good mechanical strength and dielectric properties, the number of reactive carbon-carbon double bonds contained in one molecule of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 2 or more on average, more preferably 3 or more, and even more preferably 4 or more. From the viewpoint of efficiently suppressing gelation in the manufacturing process of the fluorine-containing polymer, the number of reactive carbon-carbon double bonds contained in one molecule of the fluorine-containing polymer may be 10 or less on average. From this viewpoint, the number of reactive carbon-carbon double bonds contained in one molecule of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 2 to 10 on average, more preferably 3 to 10, and even more preferably 4 to 10.

From the viewpoint of mechanical strength of the cured product, the glass transition temperature of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably -10°C or higher, more preferably -5°C or higher, and even more preferably 0°C or higher. There is no particular upper limit to the glass transition temperature, and from the viewpoint of melt moldability, it may be, for example, 150°C or lower. The glass transition temperature is measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

[0034] In fluorine-containing polymers, the maximum value of the complex modulus E in the range of -50°C to (glass transition temperature -10°C) * 1 and the minimum value E of the complex modulus in the range of (glass transition temperature + 10°C) to 250°C. * The relationship between 2 and is E * 2 / E * The condition 1 ≤ 0.01 is satisfied. As mentioned above, the complex modulus of the fluorine-containing polymer is E * 2 / E * The condition 1 ≤ 0.01 is an indicator that the fluorine-containing polymer will melt. * 2 / E * 1 may be less than or equal to 0.001, or less than or equal to 0.0001. The complex modulus of elasticity is measured according to JIS K 7244-1:1998 (corresponding to ISO 6721-1:1994), JIS K 7244-4:1999 (corresponding to ISO 6721-4:1994), and JIS K 7244-6:1999 (corresponding to ISO 6721-6:1996).

[0035] The minimum value E of the complex modulus of a fluorine-containing polymer in the range of (glass transition temperature + 10°C) to 250°C. * 2 is preferably 10,000,000 Pa or less, more preferably 1,000,000 Pa or less, even more preferably 100,000 Pa or less, and particularly preferably 10,000 Pa or less, from the viewpoint of ease of molding. * The lower limit of 2 is not particularly restricted and may be 1 Pa or higher.

[0036] The maximum value E of the complex modulus of a fluorine-containing polymer in the range of -50°C to (glass transition temperature -10°C). * The range of 1 is E * 2 / E * There are no particular restrictions as long as the relationship 1 ≤ 0.01 holds.

From the viewpoint of fluidity during melt molding, the weight-average molecular weight of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 1,000,000 or less, more preferably 500,000 or less, and even more preferably 200,000 or less. From this viewpoint, the weight-average molecular weight of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 1,000 to 1,000,000, more preferably 2,000 to 500,000, and even more preferably 5,000 to 200,000.

[0038] The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the fluorine-containing polymer is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of mechanical strength and low dielectric loss characteristics, it is preferably 500 or more, more preferably 1,000 or more, and even more preferably 2,500 or more. From the viewpoint of fluidity during melt molding, it is preferably 500,000 or less, more preferably 250,000 or less, and even more preferably 100,000 or less. From this viewpoint, the weight-average molecular weight of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 500 to 500,000, more preferably 1,000 to 250,000, and even more preferably 2,500 to 100,000.

[0039] The number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) in this disclosure were determined by SEC (Size Exclusion Chromatography) measurement, with polystyrene used as the standard substance for molecular weight conversion.

[0040] The polydispersity of the fluorine-containing polymer is preferably 2.0 or less, more preferably 1.8 or less, even more preferably 1.6 or less, particularly preferably 1.4 or less, and most preferably 1.3 or less. By having the polydispersity within this range, variations in curability are reduced, and a highly uniform cured product can be obtained. The lower limit of the polydispersity is 1.0 by definition.

[0041] Polydispersion (PD) is an indicator of molecular weight distribution and can be calculated using the following formula. {PD=Mw(weight average molecular weight) / Mn(number average molecular weight)} The degree of polydispersity can be adjusted to the above range by employing a highly controllable polymerization method. Examples of highly controllable polymerization methods include manufacturing methods A and B, which will be described later.

[0042] The fluorine-containing polymer is preferably soluble in a solvent in which the monomer raw material is soluble. Solubility in such a solvent is an indicator that the fluorine-containing polymer is not gelled, and the absence of gelling makes it suitable for use as a molding material. Gelation refers to a state in which the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of a compound diverges infinitely. A gelled compound has an insoluble and infusible three-dimensional network structure. The fluorine-containing polymer is preferably soluble in, for example, 1H-perfluorohexane, benzotrifluoride, or tetrahydrofuran. Soluble means that 1 g or more of the fluorine-containing polymer dissolves in 100 mL of the solvent.

[0043] Fluorine-containing polymers are polymers of compounds having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond. Here, "compound having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond" refers to the constituent components of the resulting fluorine-containing polymer, which are typically monomers.

Furthermore, from the viewpoint of moldability, such as solvent solubility, the fluorine content of the compound having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond may be 76% by mass or less. From the above viewpoint, the fluorine content of the compound having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond is preferably 20% to 76% by mass, more preferably 30% to 76% by mass, and even more preferably 40% to 76% by mass.

[0045] The fluorine-containing polymer is preferably a polymer of a compound having at least two reactive carbon-carbon double bonds. Polymerizing a compound having at least two reactive carbon-carbon double bonds allows for the introduction of numerous branching and crosslinking points, so that when the resulting fluorine-containing polymer is further cured, a denser crosslinked structure can be formed. The number of reactive carbon-carbon double bonds in the compound having reactive carbon-carbon double bonds may be, for example, 2 to 6, 2 to 4, or 2 or 3.

[0073] The method for producing the above fluorine-containing polymer uses a polymerization method with high controllability. Although the fluorine-containing polymer of the present disclosure can also be produced by free radical polymerization, when the above polymerization method with high controllability is adopted, gelation due to the rapid progress of crosslinking is suppressed, and a fluorine-containing polymer with a high degree of unsaturation and moldability can be preferably obtained. Further, by using such a fluorine-containing polymer, a cured product with a high crosslink density can be preferably obtained.

[0074] <A method for producing a fluorine-containing polymer, which includes polymerizing a compound having at least two reactive carbon-carbon double bonds in the presence of an ionic catalyst represented by formula (2) composed of an anion and a counter cation and a compound having a partial structure represented by formula (3)> A method for producing a fluorine-containing polymer, which includes polymerizing a compound having at least two reactive carbon-carbon double bonds in the presence of an ionic catalyst represented by formula (2) composed of an anion and a counter cation and a compound having a partial structure represented by formula (3), is based on a polymerization method called the RCMP (Reversible Complexation Mediated living radical Polymerization) method. Hereinafter, this production method is also referred to as production method A.

[0075] The schematic of the scheme for manufacturing method A is shown in the figure below. The ionic catalyst represented by formula (2) breaks the CI bond in the compound having the substructure represented by formula (3), generating a carbon radical. The generated carbon radical reacts with the compound having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond. On the other hand, the bonding of I from the compound having the substructure represented by formula (3) to the ionic catalyst is a reversible reaction, and I recombines with the carbon radical after the reaction with the compound having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond, so the reaction product becomes the compound having the substructure represented by formula (3) again. In other words, an insertion reaction of the compound having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond into the compound having the substructure represented by formula (3) occurs.

[0076] [ka]

[0077] In the above scheme diagram, in compounds having a reactive carbon-carbon double bond, R represents any atom or group of atoms, and * represents a single bond or a divalent organic group.

[0078] The insertion reaction is repeated by the ionic catalyst represented by formula (2) again, in which the I bonded to the compound produced by the above reaction is abstracted, thereby obtaining a polymer.

[0079] Compounds having the substructure represented by formula (3) function as radical initiators. Conventionally, azo compounds, peroxides, etc., have generally been used as radical initiators, but when these radical initiators are used, the reaction rate is extremely fast, making it difficult to control the reaction. In contrast, by using a compound having the substructure represented by formula (3) as a radical initiator in the presence of an ionic catalyst represented by formula (2), the reaction proceeds very gently, making it possible to control the reaction.

[0184] (Example 9) In a nitrogen-purged glove box, a 100 mL stainless steel autoclave with a stirrer was charged with 0.51 g (2.0 mmol) of 1,4-divinyloctafluorobutane, 0.82 g (2.0 mmol) of 1,6-divinyldodecafluorohexane, 0.13 g (0.40 mmol) of the azo radical initiator "VAm-110" (trade name, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and 100 g of 1H-perfluorohexane. After injecting 2.2 g (22 mmol) of tetrafluoroethylene under pressure, stirring was started while raising the internal temperature to 125°C. Stirring was carried out at 200 rpm for 20 minutes while maintaining the internal temperature, and the internal pressure decreased from 0.9 MPa to 0.7 MPa. After cooling the autoclave in an ice bath, the unreacted tetrafluoroethylene was purged.

[0185] The resulting polymer solution was vacuum-dried to obtain a viscous liquid. This liquid was added to 50 mL of methanol and stirred for 10 minutes, after which the precipitated solid and supernatant were separated using a centrifuge. The obtained solid was added again to 50 mL of methanol and stirred for 10 minutes, after which the solid and supernatant were separated using a centrifuge. The obtained solid was vacuum-dried to yield 0.9 g of fluorine-containing polymer. The resulting fluorine-containing polymer was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. The resulting polymer had a manganese (Mn) of 7,900 and a manganese (Mw) of 12,200, as measured by size exclusion chromatography. The calculated polydispersity (Mw / Mn) of the fluorine-containing polymer was 1.5. The fluorine content of the obtained polymer, as determined by the method described above, was 68% by mass. The degree of unsaturation of the obtained polymer, as measured by the method described above, was 0.2 mEq / g. The Tg of the obtained polymer, as measured by the method described above, was 109°C. When the obtained polymer was placed on a glass substrate and heated to 180°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, it was visually observed to melt and spread. Due to the low yield, viscoelasticity measurements could not be performed, but from the above results, the maximum value of the complex modulus (E) of the obtained polymer at -50°C to (Tg-10°C) was estimated. * 1) The minimum value of the complex modulus (E) between (Tg+10℃) and 250℃ for 1). * 2) Ratio (E * 2 / E * 1) is considered to be 0.01 or less. Based on the results of solubility and heating tests, the production of a non-gelling fluorine-containing polymer was confirmed.

A homogeneous solution was obtained by mixing the tubes at room temperature for 30 minutes using a tube rotator. The glass container was opened and dried at 60°C for 12 hours under nitrogen flow to obtain a solid. The obtained solid was placed on a glass substrate and heated at 200°C for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then allowed to cool to room temperature under an air atmosphere to obtain a solid. The obtained solid was insoluble in 1H-perfluorohexane and tetrahydrofuran. When the obtained solid was placed on a glass substrate and heated to 250°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, no visible signs of melting were observed. The above results indicate that the fluorine-containing polymer is thermosetting.

The obtained solid was insoluble in tetrahydrofuran. When the obtained solid was placed on a glass substrate and heated to 250°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, no visible signs of melting were observed. The above results indicate that the fluorine-containing polymer is thermosetting.

When the obtained solid was placed on a glass substrate and heated to 250°C under a nitrogen atmosphere, no visible signs of melting were observed. The above results indicate that the fluorine-containing polymer is thermosetting.

[0189] (Example 13) In a nitrogen-purged glove box, a 100 mL stainless steel autoclave with a stirrer was charged with 5.7 g (16 mmol) of 1,6-divindodecafluorohexane, 0.092 g (0.40 mmol) of the azo radical initiator "V-601" (trade name, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and 100 g of 1H-perfluorohexane. After injecting 7.4 g (74 mmol) of tetrafluoroethylene under pressure, stirring was started while raising the internal temperature to 80°C. Stirring was carried out at 200 rpm for 5 hours while maintaining the internal temperature, and the internal pressure decreased from 0.8 MPa (gauge pressure) to 0.5 MPa. After cooling the autoclave in an ice bath, the unreacted tetrafluoroethylene was purged.

[0190] The resulting polymer solution was vacuum-dried to obtain a solid. This solid was added to 50 mL of methanol and stirred for 10 minutes, after which the solid and supernatant were separated using a centrifuge. The obtained solid was vacuum-dried to yield 3.9 g of fluorine-containing polymer. The fluorine-containing polymer was insoluble and infusible.

[0191] (Example 14) In a nitrogen-purged glove box, a 100 mL stainless steel autoclave with a stirrer was charged with 5.7 g (16 mmol) of 1,6-divindodecafluorohexane, 0.55 g (1.6 mmol) of n-nonafluorobutyl iodide, 0.092 g (0.40 mmol) of the azo radical initiator "V-601" (trade name, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and 100 g of 1H-perfluorohexane. After injecting 7.4 g (74 mmol) of tetrafluoroethylene under pressure, stirring was started while raising the internal temperature to 80°C. Stirring was carried out at 200 rpm for 7 hours while maintaining the internal temperature, and the internal pressure decreased from 0.8 MPa (gauge pressure) to 0.5 MPa. After cooling the autoclave in an ice bath, the unreacted tetrafluoroethylene was purged.
