[0010] The description of the constituent elements described below may be made based on typical embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to such embodiments. In the present specification, "~" is used to mean including the numerical values described before and after it as the lower limit value and the upper limit value. In numerical ranges described stepwise within this specification, the upper or lower limit of one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of another numerical range described stepwise. Furthermore, in numerical ranges described within this specification, the upper or lower limit of that range may be replaced with the values shown in the examples. In the present invention, the amount of each component in the composition means the total amount of the multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified, if there are multiple substances corresponding to each component in the composition. In this invention, the term "process" includes not only independent processes but also processes that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes, as long as the intended purpose of the process is achieved. In this invention, "mass%" and "weight%" are synonymous, and "parts by mass" and "parts by weight" are synonymous. Furthermore, in the present invention, a combination of two or more preferred embodiments is a more preferred embodiment. Furthermore, in this specification, "(meth)acrylic" refers to both acrylic and methacrylic, or either of them. Furthermore, in some cases, the hydrocarbon chains are described using simplified structural formulas in which the symbols for carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) are omitted. The details of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0011] (Resin composition) The resin composition of the present invention contains a polyester polyurethane resin (A) and an epoxy resin (B), wherein the diisocyanate component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) contains a diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms. The resin composition of the present invention can be suitably used as an adhesive composition, more suitably used as an adhesive composition for bonding polyimide or metal, and particularly suitably used as an adhesive composition for bonding polyimide and metal.
[0012] The inventors have found that conventional resin compositions produce cured products that do not have sufficient conductivity under high-temperature, high-humidity environments and after thermal cycling tests. As a result of diligent research by the present inventors, it has been found that a resin composition containing two types of resins, polyester polyurethane resin (A) and epoxy resin (B), is provided. The diisocyanate component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) contains a diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms. Although the detailed mechanism is unknown, these two types of resins act synergistically and complement each other. Furthermore, because the isocyanate component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) contains a diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms, the hydrophobicity and moisture resistance of the resin are improved. As a result, the cured product exhibits excellent conductivity even under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Moreover, due to the stress relaxation effect of the resin components of polyester polyurethane resin (A) and epoxy resin (B), it is possible to provide a resin composition that exhibits excellent conductivity even after a thermal cycle test.
[0013] Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention contains two types of resins, polyester polyurethane resin (A) and epoxy resin (B), and the molecular weight per urethane bond in the polyester polyurethane resin (A) is 200 to 8,000, and the diisocyanate component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) contains a diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms, thereby exhibiting excellent flame retardancy, conductivity both initially and after soldering, and heat resistance.
[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below. Furthermore, in this specification, "polyester polyurethane resin (A)," etc., are also referred to as "component (A)," etc.
[0015] <Polyester polyurethane resin (A)> The resin composition of the present invention contains a polyester polyurethane resin (A), and the diisocyanate component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) contains a diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms. The polyester polyurethane resin (A) may be any resin having two or more ester bonds and two or more urethane bonds, but it is preferable that it is a resin having a polyester chain and two or more urethane bonds. Furthermore, the polyester polyurethane resin (A) is preferably a resin obtained by reacting at least a polyester polyol, a polyisocyanate, and a chain extender as raw materials, and more preferably a resin obtained by reacting at least a polyester polyol, a polyisocyanate, and a diol compound.
[0016] In the polyester polyurethane resin (A), the polyester portion is preferably formed from an acid component and an alcohol component. As the acid component, polycarboxylic acid compounds are preferred, and dicarboxylic acid compounds are more preferred. Sulfocarboxylic acid compounds and the like can also be used as the acid component. Furthermore, aromatic acids are particularly preferred as the acid component. As the alcohol component, polyhydric alcohol compounds are preferred, and diol compounds are more preferred. Furthermore, the polyester portion may be formed from a hydroxycarboxylic acid compound. When the total amount of all acidic components constituting the polyester portion of the polyester polyurethane resin (A) is set to 100 mol%, from the viewpoint of adhesion, heat resistance, and heat and humidity resistance, it is preferable that aromatic acids make up 30 mol% or more, more preferably 45 mol% or more, and particularly preferable 60 mol% or more of the total acidic components.
[0017] Examples of aromatic acids include aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, orthophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, biphenyldicarboxylic acid, and 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid. Other examples include aromatic dicarboxylic acids having a sulfonic acid group or sulfonic acid base, such as sulfoterephthalic acid, 5-sulfisophthalic acid, 4-sulfophthalic acid, 4-sulfonaphthalene-2,7-dicarboxylic acid, 5-(4-sulfophenoxy)isophthalic acid, sulfoterephthalic acid, their metal salts, and their ammonium salts; and aromatic oxycarboxylic acids such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and 4,4-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)valeric acid. Among these, from the viewpoint of adhesion, it is preferable that the acid component contains terephthalic acid and / or isophthalic acid, and particularly preferable that it contains terephthalic acid and / or isophthalic acid. Furthermore, the acid component may be a derivative of an acid compound such as an ester during resin synthesis.
[0018] Other acidic components include alicyclic dicarboxylic acids such as 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and their acid anhydrides, and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedioic acid, and dimer acid.
[0019] On the other hand, preferred polyhydric alcohol components include aliphatic diol compounds, alicyclic diol compounds, aromatic-containing diol compounds, and ether-bond-containing diol compounds. Examples of aliphatic diol compounds include ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylenediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,6-hexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 1,9-nonanediol, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, neopentyl glycol hydroxypivalate ester, dimethylolheptane, and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol. Examples of alicyclic diol compounds include 1,4-cyclohexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, tricyclodecanediol, tricyclodecanedimethylol, spiroglycol, hydrogenated bisphenol A, ethylene oxide adducts and propylene oxide adducts of hydrogenated bisphenol A, and the like. Examples of aromatic diol compounds include glycols obtained by adding 1 to several moles of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to two phenolic hydroxyl groups of bisphenols, such as paraxylene glycol, metaxylene glycol, orthoxylene glycol, 1,4-phenylene glycol, ethylene oxide adducts of 1,4-phenylene glycol, bisphenol A, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol A, and propylene oxide adducts. Examples of ether-bonded diol compounds include diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol ethylene oxide adduct, and neopentyl glycol propylene oxide adduct. Among these diols, diols having side chains, such as neopentyl glycol and 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, are preferred due to their compatibility with epoxy resins, resins having carboxyl groups or carboxylic acid anhydride structures, and their solution stability. In other words, the diol component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) preferably contains a diol having a side chain, from the viewpoint of compatibility with epoxy resins, resins having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure, etc., and solution stability. In particular, from the viewpoint of compatibility with epoxy resins, resins having carboxyl groups or carboxylic acid anhydride structures, solution stability, and conductivity, it is more preferable that the chain extender constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) contains a diol having side chains. That is, from the viewpoint of compatibility with epoxy resins, resins having carboxyl groups or carboxylic acid anhydride structures, solution stability, and conductivity, it is more preferable that the polyester polyurethane resin (A) is a resin obtained by reacting at least a polyester polyol, a polyisocyanate, and a diol having side chains as its raw materials. In diols having a side chain, the side chain is preferably an alkyl group, and the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group may be, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. This is also true for diols having a side chain described later. Examples of diols having side chains include neopentyl glycol, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid.
[0020] From the viewpoint of conductivity in the initial stage of the cured product, after soldering, after long-term reliability testing, or after thermal cycling testing, the polyester polyurethane resin (A) is preferably composed of at least a diol component. Furthermore, the diol component constituting the polyester polyurethane resin (A) preferably contains a diol compound having a hydrocarbon group with 5 to 32 carbon atoms, more preferably contains a diol compound having a hydrocarbon group with 5 to 16 carbon atoms, and particularly preferably contains a diol compound having a hydrocarbon group with 7 to 12 carbon atoms, from the viewpoint of conductivity in the initial stage of the cured product, after soldering, after long-term reliability testing, or after thermal cycling testing. The diol compound having a hydrocarbon group with 5 to 32 carbon atoms preferably includes a alicyclic structure or a diol compound having two or more side chains, more preferably includes a diol compound having two or more side chains, and particularly preferably includes a diol compound having two side chains, from the viewpoint of conductivity in the initial stage of the cured product, after soldering, after long-term reliability testing, or after thermal cycling testing. Furthermore, the diol compound having a hydrocarbon group with 5 to 32 carbon atoms may be either a diol component constituting the polyester portion or a diol component constituting the polyurethane portion. However, from the viewpoint of conductivity in the initial stage of the cured product, after soldering, after long-term reliability testing, or after thermal cycling testing, it is preferable that it be a diol component constituting the polyurethane portion.
[0021] Furthermore, hydroxycarboxylic acid compounds having both a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group in their molecular structure can also be used as polyester raw materials, such as 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxyphenityl alcohol, p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, and 4,4-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)valeric acid.
[0022] As a component constituting the polyester portion of the polyester polyurethane resin (A), trifunctional or higher polycarboxylic acids and / or polyols may be copolymerized in an amount of approximately 0.1 mol% to 5 mol% relative to the total acid components or total polyhydric alcohol components constituting the polyester portion, for the purpose of introducing a branched skeleton as needed. In particular, when reacting with a curing agent to obtain a cured layer, introducing a branched skeleton increases the concentration of end groups (reaction sites) in the resin, resulting in a cured layer with a high crosslink density. Examples of polycarboxylic acids with three or more functions in this case include trimellitic acid, trimesic acid, ethylene glycol bis(anhydrotrimellitate), glycerol tris(anhydrotrimellitate), trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA), oxydiphthalic acid dianhydride (ODPA), 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA), 3,3',4,4'-diphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3',4,4'-diphenylsulfonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (DSDA), 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic acid dianhydride (6FDA), and 2,2'-bis[(dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl]propane dianhydride (BSAA). On the other hand, examples of polyols with three or more functions include glycerin, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, and pentaerythritol. When using trifunctional or higher polycarboxylic acids and / or polyols, copolymerization is preferably carried out in an amount of 0.1 mol% to 5 mol%, more preferably 0.1 mol% to 3 mol%, relative to the total acid component or total polyhydric alcohol component.
[0023] In the polyester portion of the polyester polyurethane resin (A), acid addition of approximately 0.1 mol% to 10 mol% can be performed on the total acid components or total polyhydric alcohol components constituting the polyester portion, if necessary, for the purpose of introducing carboxyl groups. When monocarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids, or polyfunctional carboxylic acid compounds are used for acid addition, a decrease in molecular weight occurs due to transesterification, so it is preferable to use acid anhydrides. Examples of acid anhydrides that can be used include succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, orthophthalic acid, 2,5-norbornenedicarboxylic acid anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA), oxydiphthalic acid dianhydride (ODPA), 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA), 3,3',4,4'-diphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3',4,4'-diphenylsulfonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (DSDA), 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic acid dianhydride (6FDA), and 2,2'-bis[(dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl]propane dianhydride (BSAA). Acid addition can be carried out directly in the bulk state after polyester polycondensation, or by dissolving the polyester before addition. The reaction in the bulk state is fast, but gelation can occur if a large amount of acid is added, and since the reaction takes place at high temperatures, precautions such as blocking oxygen gas and preventing oxidation are necessary. On the other hand, acid addition in solution state is slower, but it allows for the stable introduction of a large amount of carboxyl groups.
[0024] The polyurethane portion of the polyester polyurethane resin (A) is composed of at least a diisocyanate component. Furthermore, the diisocyanate component includes a diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms. Here, the methylene group in the hydrocarbon group may be replaced with an unreactive bond such as -O-, -S-, -CO-, -COO-, or -OCO-. The amount of the diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms in the diisocyanate component is usually 70 mol% or more, preferably 90 mol% or more, and may be 100 mol%. Furthermore, the polyurethane portion of the polyester polyurethane resin (A) may be composed of monofunctional or trifunctional or more isocyanate components in addition to the diisocyanate component. In the diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms, the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group is preferably 8 to 12, and more preferably 8 to 10, from the viewpoint of conductivity after soldering, long-term reliability testing, and thermal cycling testing of the resulting cured product. Furthermore, the diisocyanate compound having a hydrocarbon group with 8 to 14 carbon atoms is preferably alicyclic in structure from the viewpoint of conductivity after soldering, long-term reliability testing, and thermal cycling testing of the resulting cured product.
[0025] From the viewpoint of adhesion, the polyester polyurethane resin (A) preferably contains 5 to 50 molar equivalents of diisocyanate component per molar equivalent of polyester portion. In other words, from the viewpoint of adhesion, the polyester polyurethane resin (A) preferably contains 10 to 100 molar equivalents of urethane bonds per molar equivalent of polyester portion.
[0026] The polyisocyanate used in the production of polyester polyurethane resin (A) may be one of the following: diisocyanate, its dimer (uretdione), its trimer (isocyanurate, triol adduct, biuret), or a mixture of two or more of these. For example, diisocyanate components include diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylenediisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, 2,6-naphthalene diisocyanate, 4,4'-diisocyanate diphenyl ether, m-xylylene diisocyanate, 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, methylenebis(4-cyclohexyl diisocyanate), isophorone diisocyanate, norbornane diisocyanate, norbornene diisocyanate, etc. In particular, aliphatic or alicyclic diisocyanate compounds are preferred from the viewpoint of transparency and conductivity of the resulting cured product after soldering, long-term reliability testing, and thermal cycling testing, with alicyclic diisocyanate compounds being especially preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of availability and conductivity after thermal cycling testing, 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, methylenebis(4-cyclohexyl diisocyanate), or norbornane diisocyanate are preferred, with 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane being especially preferred.
[0027] In the manufacture of polyester polyurethane resin (A), chain extenders may be used as necessary. Examples of chain extenders include diol compounds already described as components of the polyester portion, and compounds having one carboxyl group and two hydroxyl groups, such as dimethylolpropionic acid and dimethylolbutanoic acid. Among these, diol compounds are preferred as chain extenders from the viewpoint of conductivity, diol compounds having side chains are more preferred, and diol compounds having branched chains are particularly preferred. From the viewpoint of conductivity, the diol compound having a side chain preferably contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of neopentyl glycol, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, and it is particularly preferable that it contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of neopentyl glycol and 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid. Polyamino compounds may be used as chain extenders, but in one embodiment, the polyester polyurethane resin (A) may be preferable if it does not contain urea bonds.
[0028] There are no particular limitations on the method for producing the polyester polyurethane resin (A), and known methods can be used. For example, the polyester polyol and polyisocyanate, and optionally the chain extender, may be charged together in the reaction vessel, or they may be charged separately. In any case, the ratio of isocyanate group / hydroxyl group functional groups to the total hydroxyl value of the polyester polyol and chain extender in the system and the total isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate is preferably 0.9 to 1.1, more preferably 0.98 to 1.02, and particularly preferably 1. This reaction can be carried out in the presence or absence of a solvent that is inert to the isocyanate groups. Examples of solvents include ester solvents (ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, etc.), ether solvents (dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, etc.), ketone solvents (cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbon solvents (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.), and mixtures thereof.

Similarly, if polyester polyurethane resin (A) has X urethane bonds per molecule and the number-average molecular weight is Y, then the molecular weight per urethane bond in polyester polyurethane resin (A) is Y / X. When calculating from the raw material composition, the number of moles of isocyanate groups reacted with 1 mole of polyester polyol, which is the raw material for polyester polyurethane resin (A), can also be considered as the "number of urethane bonds in polyester polyurethane resin (A)".

In particular, epoxy resin (B) is preferably made up of bisphenol A type epoxy resin and / or novolac type epoxy resin, from the viewpoint of adhesion and heat resistance.
[0037] In the present invention, in order to exhibit high heat resistance after curing, it is preferable that the epoxy resin (B) contains a compound having three or more epoxy groups in one molecule. When such a compound is used, the crosslinking reactivity with the polyester urethane resin (A) and the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is increased compared to when an epoxy resin with two epoxy groups is used, and sufficient heat resistance can be obtained. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, the content of compounds having three or more epoxy groups in one molecule in epoxy resin (B) is preferably 15% by mass or more, more preferably 20% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 25% by mass or more, based on the total mass of epoxy resin (B).

[0039] <Resin having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure (C)> From the viewpoint of conductivity after soldering, long-term reliability testing, and thermal cycling testing of the resulting cured product, the resin composition of the present invention preferably contains a resin (C) having a carboxyl group or a carboxylic acid anhydride structure. The resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is preferably solid at 25°C. The resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is not particularly limited as long as it is soluble in the organic solvents described later. Specific examples include polyamide resins, polyolefin resins, acrylic resins, and copolymers thereof. In particular, the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure preferably contains at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins, polyolefin resins and copolymers thereof, from the viewpoint of conductivity of the resulting cured product after soldering, after long-term reliability testing and after thermal cycling testing, more preferably contains at least one of a polyamide resin having an acid value and a resin having an acid-modified polyolefin structure, and particularly preferably contains a polyamide resin having an acid value.
[0040] Polyamide resin is a condensed resin obtained using a dibasic acid and a diamine as monomers, preferably a resin obtained using two or more dibasic acids and two or more diamines. Specific examples of the dibasic acid include adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, undecanedioic acid, dodecanedioic acid, dimer acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, and sodium 5-sulfoisophthalate. Specific examples of the diamine include hexamethylenediamine, heptamethylenediamine, p-diaminomethylcyclohexane, bis(p-aminocyclohexyl)methane, m-xylenediamine, piperazine, and isophoronediamine. The polyamide resin may also be a block copolymer. The inclusion of piperazine in the aforementioned diamine component is preferable for improved adhesion. The piperazine content is preferably 1.0 mol% or more, and more preferably 20 mol% or more, when the total amount of diamine components constituting the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is taken as 100 mol%. Polyamide resins exhibit excellent solubility in solvents, especially when they contain structural units derived from aliphatic dibasic acids and structural units derived from alicyclic diamines. Furthermore, adhesive compositions containing such polyamide resins are preferable because they show almost no increase in viscosity even after long-term storage and exhibit good adhesion to a wide range of substrates.
[0041] The polyamide resin may contain constituent units derived from aminocarboxylic acids, lactams, etc. Specifically, examples of aminocarboxylic acids include 11-aminoundecanoic acid, 12-aminododecanoic acid, 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid, and 4-aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, while examples of lactams include ε-caprolactam, ω-laurolactam, α-pyrrolidone, and α-piperidone.
[0042] Furthermore, the polyamide resin may appropriately contain structural units derived from polyalkylene glycol for the purpose of imparting flexibility. Specific examples of the polyalkylene glycol include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, block or random copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, and block or random copolymers of ethylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran. The structural units derived from polyalkylene glycol may be included individually or in combination of two or more types.
[0043] Polyamide resins can have compositions such as nylon 6 / nylon 66 copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 6-10 copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 66 / nylon 6-10 copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 66 / nylon 11 copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 66 / nylon 12 copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 6-10 / nylon 6-11 copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 11 / isophoronediamine copolymer, nylon 6 / nylon 66 / nylon 6 copolymer, and nylon 6 / nylon 6-10 / nylon 12 copolymer.
[0044] Next, the modified polyamide resin is obtained by adding formaldehyde and alcohol to an unmodified polyamide resin and introducing alkoxymethyl groups to the nitrogen atoms constituting the amide bonds, thereby creating an alcohol-soluble nylon resin. Specifically, examples include modified polyamide resins in which 6-nylon, 66-nylon, etc., have been alkoxymethylated. The introduction of N-alkoxymethyl groups contributes to a lower melting point, increased flexibility, and improved solubility in solvents, and the introduction rate is appropriately set according to the purpose.
[0045] There are no particular limitations on the resin having a polyolefin structure, but examples include polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, and copolymers thereof. Furthermore, the resin having a polyolefin structure may be a copolymer of an olefin with another ethylenically unsaturated compound, or a block copolymer of a polyolefin with a polycondensation resin. For example, the resin having a polyolefin structure may be a styrene-based resin such as styrene-butadiene copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-ethylene / propylene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-isoprene / butadiene-styrene block copolymer, or styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer. In particular, among resins having an acid-modified polyolefin structure, it is preferable that the resin is an acid-modified polyolefin resin.
[0046] Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the method for introducing a carboxyl group or a carboxylic acid anhydride structure into the polyamide resin and the resin having a polyolefin structure, but examples include copolymerizing an unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride and modifying the resin with a carboxylic acid anhydride. Specifically, examples include a resin obtained by graft polymerization of an unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride such as maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, acrylic acid, or methacrylic acid into a polyolefin resin such as polypropylene; a polyamide resin having an acid terminus obtained by reacting a dibasic acid in excess with a diamine; a resin obtained by reacting a carboxylic acid anhydride with a polyamide resin; and a polyamide resin using a compound having two or more carboxylic acid anhydride structures, such as pyromellitic anhydride, as the carboxylic acid component of the raw material.
[0047] The acid value of resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is not particularly limited, as long as it has at least a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure, but is preferably 0.1 mg KOH / g to 200 mg KOH / g, more preferably 1 mg KOH / g to 100 mg KOH / g, even more preferably 2 mg KOH / g to 50 mg KOH / g, and particularly preferably 5 mg KOH / g to 30 mg KOH / g.
[0048] The amine value of the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is not particularly limited. Generally, a high amine value of the polyamide resin allows for a rapid reaction between the amino group and the epoxy group, resulting in good curability with short heating times. However, immediately after mixing the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure with the epoxy resin (B), the reaction proceeds gradually, causing a significant increase in the viscosity of the composition or gelation. Therefore, by selecting the amine value of the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure, both curability and stability can be achieved. The preferred range for the amine value of the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is 1 mg KOH / g to 6 mg KOH / g.
[0049] Furthermore, the melting point of the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of solubility in solvents and heat resistance of the cured product, it is preferably in the range of 50°C to 220°C, and more preferably in the range of 70°C to 180°C.
[0050] Examples of solvents for dissolving resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and diacetone alcohol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl amyl ketone, cyclohexanone, and isophorone; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, and mesitylene; and esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and 3-methoxybutyl acetate. These solvents may be used individually or in combination of two or more.

Furthermore, in the resin composition of the present invention, from the viewpoint of adhesion, conductivity, and heat resistance, it is preferable that the content of polyester polyurethane resin (A) is 10% to 90% by mass, and the content of resin having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure (C) is 5% to 70% by mass, relative to the total amount of polyester polyurethane resin (A), epoxy resin (B), resin having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure (C), and imidazole silane compound (D) which may be included as an optional component in the resin composition.
[0052] Furthermore, in the resin composition of the present invention, from the viewpoint of adhesion, conductivity, and heat resistance, the content of resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is preferably 1 to 100 parts by mass, preferably 20 to 100 parts by mass, more preferably 50 to 95 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 70 to 90 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of polyester polyurethane resin (A). Furthermore, the content of resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure is preferably less than or equal to the content of polyester polyurethane resin (A), and more preferably less than the content of polyester polyurethane resin (A), from the viewpoint of adhesion, conductivity, and heat resistance.
[0053] The content of the polyester polyurethane resin (A) and the resin having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure (C) in the resin composition is preferably 50% to 98% by mass, more preferably 70% to 97% by mass, and particularly preferably 75% to 95% by mass, based on the total amount of the polyester polyurethane resin (A), epoxy resin (B), and resin having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure (C) in the resin composition, as well as the imidazole silane compound (D) which may be included as an optional component, from the viewpoint of adhesion, conductivity, and heat resistance.
[0054] <Imidazole silane compound (D)> From the viewpoints of conductivity and adhesiveness, the resin composition of the present invention preferably contains an imidazole silane compound (D). The imidazole silane compound (D) is a compound having one or more imidazole ring structures and one or more silane structures, and is presumed to act as a curing agent for the epoxy resin (B).

[0059] The presence of an imidazole silane compound (D), particularly the compound represented by formula (D), improves adhesion to metals, especially gold-plated copper foil. This is presumed to be because the silane structure and the imidazole ring structure exhibit high affinity to both the metal surface and the resin (C) having a carboxyl group or carboxylic acid anhydride structure, and the interaction between them improves adhesion. Furthermore, since the imidazole ring structure can also react with epoxy resin (B), it is presumed that this adhesion-enhancing effect can be maintained even in the reflow process described later.
