Solution Overview

Problem

Existing curable resin compositions for printed wiring boards, containing phenol or polyimide resins, exhibit yellow or reddish-brown coloration and have inadequate heat resistance and light transmittance, leading to unsatisfactory performance in applications requiring transparency and thermal stability.

Innovation Solution

A curable resin composition comprising an amide-imide resin, a thermosetting resin, a thermosetting accelerator, and inorganic particles, where the amide-imide resin is synthesized from an isocyanurate-type polyisocyanate and an aliphatic tricarboxylic anhydride, with specific molecular weights and structures to enhance transparency and thermal properties.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If phenol resin or polyimide resin with aromatic ring is used, then heat resistance is improved, but light transmittance deteriorates (yellow or reddish-brown coloration)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat resistanceVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of the resin from aromatic-based (phenol, polyimide) to aliphatic-based (amide-imide from aliphatic isocyanate and aliphatic carboxylic acid). This parameter change in molecular structure eliminates the chromophoric aromatic rings while maintaining the thermal stability provided by the amide-imide bond structure, thereby achieving both heat resistance and high light transmittance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite resin system combining amide-imide resin with specific additives and modifiers to achieve a balance of properties. The composite formulation includes the aliphatic amide-imide base resin combined with curing agents and other components that collectively provide heat resistance without compromising light transmittance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional thermosetting resins are used, then structural stability is improved, but warpage increases due to high residual stress

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidwarpage
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the resin system to aliphatic amide-imide structure, which inherently produces lower residual stress during curing compared to conventional aromatic thermosetting resins. This parameter change maintains crosslinking density for structural stability while reducing the stress that causes warpage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces specific intermediate compounds and modifiers in the resin formulation that act as stress relievers during the curing process. These intermediary substances facilitate a more gradual and uniform curing reaction, reducing thermal and chemical stress buildup that would otherwise lead to warpage while maintaining final structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
