Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If bismaleimide with dimer acid skeleton is used for light curing, then moisture resistance is improved, but curing depth and adhesive strength are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture resistanceVSAvoidadhesive strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines dimer acid-modified acrylamide (providing moisture resistance) with conventional acrylamide or other curable components (enhancing adhesive strength and curing depth). This composite approach allows the cured product to simultaneously achieve excellent moisture resistance and sufficient adhesive strength, resolving the contradiction between these two properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical structure by introducing acrylamide groups to the dimer acid skeleton, changing the reactivity and curing characteristics. The acrylamide group provides different polymerization behavior compared to traditional maleimide groups, enabling improved adhesive strength and curing depth while maintaining the moisture resistance benefits of the dimer acid structure.

2Reliability

If bismaleimide with dimer acid skeleton is used for light curing, then moisture resistance is improved, but curing depth is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture resistanceVSAvoidcuring depth
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite curable composition containing dimer acid-modified acrylamide combined with other curable components. This composite system achieves deeper curing penetration while maintaining the moisture resistance properties, as the combined resin system allows for more effective light propagation and polymerization throughout the adhesive layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

By changing from traditional maleimide groups to acrylamide groups on the dimer acid skeleton, the patent alters the photopolymerization characteristics. The acrylamide groups exhibit different absorption and reactivity profiles under UV light, enabling deeper curing depth while preserving the moisture resistance inherent to the dimer acid structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Strength

If polymaleimide is used for curable composition, then heat resistance and adhesive strength are improved, but formability is poor due to high crystallinity and melting point

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidformability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure from polymaleimide to dimer acid-modified acrylamide, fundamentally altering the thermal and rheological properties. The new structure maintains high adhesive strength through polar interactions and effective polymerization, while exhibiting lower crystallinity and melting point, thereby improving formability and processability of the curable composition.
